Angry Ripped Off!

Some jerk stole my rubber "Toyota" hitch cover. Why the hell would you steel one of those? Anyway, are there any cool hitch covers (Not too flashey) that can be secured with a locking hitch pin?

PITA

and I'm not talking about the animal lovers. I have the reciver shackle but it is just steel so I don't like keep it out, the winter salt here is very bad. Maybe someone could have some Yotatech.com ones made up.

People are stealing the hitch covers nowadays!? Sorry to hear about that, I hate people who do that kind of ˟˟˟˟˟. What is the world coming to? Next thing you'll see is people ripping off your wiper blades.

Yeah that sucks. There's tons of locking hitch covers out there, not sure if you'll find an Airwolf cover though.

That's why I now keep a pretty long stainless steel hitch ball bar with a 2" chrome ball on a locked pin. Not only will they not steal it now, but not mess it up either when they rear end me. Hopefully the hitch ball will rip off the whole bumper next time

Mother nature stole mine twice. I guess she didn't like me dragging my hitch going in and out of arroyos. I fixed her...I stopped buying new hitch covers.

After mine fell out a few time I decided not to put it back in, it currently sits inside my garage. I'll put it back in once I build my rear bumper.

I want a hitch cover with the Toyota emblem as a brake light. I hve seen them for almost every other brand of truck except Toyota. Has anyone seen one of these in their travels?
