    Hmmn. I wonder if I could get similar protection from this:

    It doesn't match my truck, but it's beautiful. It would look awesome (and blue) on your truck, @4x4_Angel .

    It's not cool to most people, but it seems pretty cool to me after banging my shins on it a couple of times.

    It’s probably intentional. They only list an Auburn one for profiling purposes.

    Unfortunately this is illegal where I live.

    I will probably just go with a shackle.

    Be sure to use a locking hitch pin. A friend came out of the store to find plastic behind his truck, and his hitch missing. His guess was that someone hit his truck and got stuck on the hitch. When they couldn't get free, they unpinned the hitch and left. The hitch saved his truck, but he had to buy a new hitch and ball. One of these will keep you from needing to keep track of a separate key. https://www.amazon.com/BOLT-7023584...0243778&sr=8-1&keywords=bolt+hitch+pin+tundra

    I Love Star Wars! Fett is one of my favorites from the movies and books! I hope that he is in the Solo movie next year or in Ep 8 later this year. I am also looking at building a Mandalorian armor set for myself and for my boys. I thought about doing a Fett build, but everyone does that and know the suit so well. I want to pay tribute to Fett in my build, but be different.

    Some areas I have heard that having your hitch in without towing something is illegal. Does not make since to me.

    This is the decal I had made for my truck. A little hard to see, but it has a Texas flag background. I’m hoping they bring him back also, or at least Mandalorians in general. Though he’s technically dead in the storyline now, they still market the hell out of him, so I’m guessing they will. Maybe have Chewbacca hire him to hunt down Kylo....

    That looks cool. I have the Yoda one in my profile pic on my back windshield. Going to get my wife to cut one like yours, its sitting on her computer waiting to be cut; been there for a couple of months. Also thinking about letting my boys pick some figures to put on the back windows for them. I have heard that one of the new canon books says that Fett is alive after Ep 6. I am hoping and praying that he is.

    I hadn’t heard that. I know he survived in the books originally, but they wiped those out when Disney bought them.

    This is fan made, but they did a great job:

    Not technically a cover, but got this when I thought I was losing my tow-hooks when installing the bull bar. Turns out I can keep the tow-hooks and I now have a sweet "hitch cover" that acts like a tow strap hook.

    That is awesome! Not sure if I have seen it before.
    I cannot remember where I read that under Disney there is a book that says he is alive.

    I think, in any state where it's illegal, a violation would be an infraction. If so, getting cited would cost WAY less than paying for damage incurred during a rear-end collision....

    A little of this and a little of that.


    I have the same problem. Can't decide!




    Thanks for the link. Order placed! Now if I could find the correct Amazon link for a Pop & Lock tailgate auto locker.

    This is my youngest. You could say she’s a fan. Having a photo studio in the house makes this stuff super fun and easy.

    I’ll dig out some photos of her in a Rey costume at Comic Con this past summer. Such a hoot. She can’t wait for Episode VIII. Neither can I actually.

    If I show her the Star Wars hitch covers, she’ll want one of each. She already calls the truck Vader.

    That's awesome! Great picture! My boys like Star Wars, hoping they will love it when they are older.
    That's a great name for your truck!
    I wish I could find a Star Wars replacement for the front emblem in the grill.
