First theft .. Crosby shackles

[WILDHOBO]

I put mine on before starting a trail. I do it when stopped to air down. Theft isn’t an issue where I am. I just don’t like the movement wearing on the bumper tabs.

I'm late to the party. Here's mine.

Crosby 3/4 with stainless cotter pin. Ain't gonna fall off, can be stolen but they are going to work for it.

I walked up on a guy taking my rear ones off on my JKU in a Walmart parking lot about 4yrs ago. He had one off and was working on the other and not even worrying about someone seeing him. I took 3 steps and kicked him square in the back of head with some steel toe sh*t kickers on. He ran off and after that I just cranked them down really well now so you need a tool to remove them. Haven't had any issues since but it definitely sucks when someone takes something from you, big or small. I hate thieves!

after he hit the ground i would have stomped his ass again, then left him laying there in the lot

An easy way to lock your shackles?

Hmmmmm...never really even thought of that. I check them regularly but we had been wheeling pretty hard in Flag and Sedona and could have bounced it loose.

Faith in humanity partially restored ?......with a dab of blue or red.

I've bounced one off before on the way to Crown King. Now I always tighten them before and after wheeling

I carry shackles but if using them on the bumper, I would have a strap attached so using Loctite or gorilla tightening them would be a problem if the Jeep is stuck somewhere "unpleasant." I keep them under the rear seat.

That just might work with some of the meth heads. Confuse the shit out of them.

That just might work with half of the American public. Confuse the shit out of them.

Fixed it. Meth not required.
