Hmmm...

The more I think about it, the more I think me driving over huge oiles of snow might have something to do with its vanishing act. Anyway, I decided to get a reciver to hook from 4wheelparts (on sale for like $8.00) so i can keep it in there with my locking pin. It will look good and be good backup if I ever have any probs with my reciver shackle.

I've seen some locking ones up here

At least i think I did... I saw them at Canadian Tire. they were'nt generic though. They had bow ties(yuck) rams(choke) and ovals(wretch) but no Yotas. The plug had a hole in it to shove the pin through.
I JUST HAD A BRAIN WAVE!!! Grab one of these and with a hot knife cut off the raised embelem you dont want and attach a grill badge by drilling a hole through the center of the cover. or just leave it blank. Even easier just drill the hole through the center and mount the badge over top of the other logo... after all isin't that their usual place...BEHIND us in our REAL trucks? Cheers Aviator

Check out magazine adds

I don't think they have the best website. If you look at thier adds in Four Wheeler, Petersons or in Off Road Adventures you can see the sale price for the holidays. Call the store nearest to you maybe?

i took my hitch cover off, since so many people park by feel here. let them get their plastic bumpers scratched by my receiver!

and the people who steal the cool valve caps are most likely kids dressing up their bmx bikes... don't ask me how i know!! (i was once a kid... )

After my hitch cover "fell off" I picked this up:

A little pricey, but I have an SR5 with the gold trim package, and this looks just beautiful on it. And with a locking pin (courtesy of Wal-Mart) there's no way this thing is coming off my 4Runner.

I went to autozone and found the biggest reciever I could find... Sucks for people that decide to tailgate and fills the hole. The only thing you have to worry about is parallel parking. Some idiot parked seriously 2" from my reciever today. I was sooo close to "accidently" backing up, but... I decided to be nice... Plus it was a 2x4 Ranger... I felt too sorry for the guy anyway...
