Do the fender flairs also have the option to lock them onto the vehicle?

Probably answered several times before or in one of the many videos……..but…….Can you LOCK the fender flairs onto your Bronco? I’m only asking because I can see some not so honest people go around stealing fender flairs…….like Tacoma tailgates, like cutting catalytic converters or some other “easy how to” video that gets posted to the web?!

Don’t get me wrong, I love the feature but can some of the latching pins have locks or a tool required to twist them?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

I am in the same boat - I bet they are sold in pairs and cost more than they are worth. I like the fender option seen on the 4wp Bronco. "Fender Deletes" or something like that.
It would be nice if that was what was left when you chose to take them off. Might be an early purchase for me.

Agreed it would take more time to remove the flairs then steal the whole truck, plus its not a truck that parts are in demand for

oh down the road they maybe will be based on the price of AM or OEM options but still would be way quicker to jack the whole truck then work on 4 fender flairs

I can see these getting stolen quite often. The first mod will be a flare delete on mine.

What's the point of stealing them though? To whom will they be sold? The a/m has been offering fender flares for every 4x4 since, well, if I remember right, it was just after man harnessed the power of the sun and created fire. Who will be the market for stolen (used) fender flares (yeah, the guy that just had them stolen)?

they will probably be stolen by people who break or damage theirs I'm guessing. I mean I've had my tailgate stolen from my truck then I bought a locking on so there is that.

Be thankful you are not waiting on a new Shelby with the carbon fiber package, people are stealing the carbon wheels during transport, $11,500 per set, if you can get them.

Someone stole my spare tire and my support the troops magnet from my s-10. Some people like to steal things just to steal.

I have a pretty good feeling that any thieves that would want anything as stated earlier would just steal the whole vehicle. However they more than likely go after the Wheels, Catalytic Converter, and any items left in the vehicle, and so on. I think what you would see is a vehicle sitting on blocks and the Windows smashed in, but at least you would still have your fender flairs. ;)

Yes I wish someone would think of a way to stop this from happening too.
