2 U-bolts and nuts holding it in. I checked it yesterday and after 3
months, still tight and secure. Also a cable lock on the DS locked to the
rack. They would have to either remove the Yakima mounts(locked) or cut the
cable, or just spend 30 minutes unscrewing the rack from the the Yakima
mounts to get the whole rack in one piece. I worry a little, so I like the
pillar mount idea. BTW-A 60 inch Hi-Lift lays perfectly longways in the
passenger area right behind the front and back seats so keep it out of the
elements. Thanks, Squirrel.
P.S.S. The rack is actually a rear mount cargo rack for a hitch mount, but
got it on CL and gonna get some longhorns to mount into the unused hitch on
the rack so I can be more Texas. ???? Or maybe a top mounted spotlight for
steath. We will see after I upgrade the headlight relay. c ya.
