k ins here in Houston are ridiculous...
I wanted to put my jack on the rack, too so I used the Hi-lift tube attachments (expensive but stainless and well made) to secure it. To prevent theft (what is the world coming to when someone might steal a jack?!), I used a bicycle cable lock with a combination. No theft after a few months and stays secure on the trail. I take the jack down every few months to oil it and make sure it still works.
Welcome!!
I put mine on the roof rack cross ways, as it is lots easier to get it down alone. I also just redid the entire rack setup, so mow I am sporting a 4' wide solar panel, a 7 gallon gas tani and 3m of fiberglass traction mats on top. I still have some room for other things, like my fishing rod mounts and shovel mount...
I try no to keep anything on the outside that might get stolen. One of my friends had the lightbar on his heep stolen while in his driveway! I had an idiot stick and HF crane stolen off of Gerdie earlier this year. They stopped long enough to yank those things out of the bed and go to the next spot.
That being said, a braided cable is hard to cut. Just make it a pain to try to steal. If it takes time to swipe, most likely they'll move on to someone else.

I just bought a 2014 FJ, I have to say I have always loved the truck since I first saw them on the road. I had never driven one until I made my mind up that I was going to get one about 6 months age when I sold my other car. I have to say, you either find them well used or very clean. I happened...
My wife has a 2007 she purchased new. Lucky for me, She doesn’t like to drive. Now passing 200,000 miles, issues are popping up. Like dash lights and acceleration problems. The local Toyota dealer is not trustworthy IME after recommending thousands of dollars of unnecessary repairs to my wife...
