    Eibach Stage 2 lift. Pro front grill. Sound deaden doors, cargo area, and rear tailgate. Diode Dynamics fog lights. Anytime front camera connected to Kenwood head unit. Kicker sub and amp. GX rear bump stop and Energy Suspension front bump stop. FJ cruiser shift knob, rear molle panels, black paint climate control knobs. Sherpa crestone roof rack.
    I am looking to buy a Sherpa roof rack. My concern is there are no security hardware used.
    Has anyone found a solution or is this a non issue?

    Someone takes apart rack and steals it? Never heard of this but I guess depending where you live it's a concern.

    It would seem if someone was willing to go through that much trouble, they'd steal the 4R instead.

    I live in NY and frequently park in the city for work, sometimes in rough areas. I don't think disassembly is the problem, but more of the mounting points. Remove bolts and lift the rack off.
