50" Lightbar install
 
So, let me first start off by saying I have the greatest girlfriend ever!!! For Christmas I got the following:
- poison spyder 50" lightbar mounts (aluminum)
- 50" lightbar
- rigid dually pillar lights w/ poison spyder mounts
- poison spyder Hawse fairlead (black)
- recon 10,500 lbs winch w/ synthetic rope
- recon smoked turn signals
- upol raptor liner kit
- factor 55 loaded thimble (silver)

+ (yes, I said plus!!!!)
- (2) craftsman 6 drawer tool chests
- 334 PC craftsman tool set

Am I blessed or what?!!

Now for my question.....I had my poison spyder lightbar mounts Line-x'd and want to install them and the lightbar this weekend. My cousin is going to help me since I know jack about electrical. (I live in St. Louis area and it's one of the worst cities for crime. Don't want all my gifts to disappear!). Was wanting to know if anyone has installed a lightbar with a quick disconnect near the top of lightbar so I can remove it and put in Jeep whenever I need? Or any ideas for security or to make it less likely to get snatched? I try to stay away from areas where this might happen, but also want it for anytime I'm looking to remove it.

Any detailed write ups, ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I believe rigid (or someone) came out with a locking mount that replaces the mounting bolt on the sides of the lightbar.

What's the difference between the factor 55+ and a "regular" factor55? I'm in the market for one.

Thanks!

i think the loaded just has the rubber bottom included so you do not have to buy separately.

I'm don't know about jk-freak's suggestion but you could always use security bolts. It would be like a wheel lock for your lightbar. Google it for ideas.

The loaded has a titanium pin where the normal factor 55 has a steel pin. The 55plus I believe is bigger and accepts a bigger shackle. Not 100% on this tho
