That is sooooo what a person that will steal my fender flares would sayI’ve never seen so much concern over something that has yet to happen once. Nobody cares about your fender flares. Broncos have been traveling all over the country for over a year now and nobody has messed with them yet.
I live in a town voted safest city in America 7 out of 10 years. Sure, rarely anyone ever gets mugged or murdered, but this type of BS happens all the time.I will just glue the little levers down, don't intend to ever take them off. They won't be cheap, I doubt a set will sell for less than 300-500. Not something that'll create a huge profitable market, but some asshole that scratched theirs up might just want to swap them out for nicer ones in the parking garage. Or get a set of my Sasquatch ones for cheap...
As for the rear tire, mine will have at least two different security lugnuts on them to make that less easy for the casual thief. All wheels will also have two different ones and the keys will be hidden in the Bronco somewhere, not with the lift/tools in the trunk.
I live in a really nice area with (in the mean time, not when we bought) not a single house under $1 million. That attracts scum. Recently somebody had all 4 tires stolen off their car - some Honda or similar, nothing even special. Don't have time for nonsense like that. Have had wheel locks on my Taco since I got it too.
Best theft prevention is always to make it less attractive/easy. Move on to the next (easier) target.
The fender flares are probably the ugliest feature of what is otherwise a nearly perfect vehicle. Ford is doing us a favor making them easy to throw awa... I mean remove.I’ve never seen so much concern over something that has yet to happen once. Nobody cares about your fender flares.

Nobody.Honestly, aside from Bronco owners, who’s going to know how to take these off anyway?
What color are you getting. If Rapid Red, I may be willing to trade for my BD flares.I halfway hope my body-matched OBX ones get stolen so I have a solid reason to upgrade to MIC ones.
Not at the top of my list as a necessary upgrade but is on the want list.
