Anyone have their d-rings stolen? Someone stole one of mine.
I will get another set and use a medium strength loctite on the threads.
If I have to undo them, I will use pliers.

Every time I see one of these polls I'm afraid to answer and jinx myself. I posted once that I didn't have a problem with something, and a week later it happened to me.

Not on my JK, but on my TJ I had one stolen including the receiver plug. They never touched the ones on my front bumper though -- maybe assumed they weren't removable like the ones on the rear were.

When I took my Fabtech bumper off my TJ to put my original one back on I noticed one of the two was missing. Not sure if it was stolen or it fell off.

never had one stolen... although i did have one fall off. i guess i didnt have it tight enough and it vibrated loose. anyway when it fell off it hit the road and i bounced back up and hit the bottom of my jeep. i went back and picked it up.

If you never plan on removing your d-rings you can use thread lock glue. My friend put it on his yj and they have been there for years and he actually caught someone trying to steal them. He just watched and laughed, because they will never come off

The first receiver plug I got for my JK had a lock pin that I got from Tractor Supply. Apparently, it wiggled open and loose. One of my fellow JKers just happened to notice that fact when we were at a get together for Truck Fest a few months back. On the way home I stopped at Wal-Mart and got a much beefier Master lock pin. It makes you wonder how many of the "stolen" D-rings are actually lost D-rings.

I just carry mine inside the "cooler" compartment.

Since we live in the same area, where do you think it happened?

Up to this point, I just crank the pin down with a phillips screwdriver I carry in the Jeep. This at least requires a thief to use something other than just his fingers.
