Guide Review - 12 Gauge Trailer Hitch Plug Receiver Cover
This receiver Hitch Plug is well-made and looks good on my truck. It's not the most practical item in the world, but for the hunter or shooter that has everything else, this makes a nice gift. It's also a pretty cool way to cover your hitch's receiver.Non-hunters often don't know just what to buy for a hunter when gift-giving time rolls around. Something to do with hunting? They don't have a clue what that would be, and if they do pick out some kind of gear, who's to say the hunter doesn't already have one or two - or that it's even right for his kind of hunting? It's not likely that many hunters have a collection of these jewels lying around the house.
Two angled steel brackets screw to the back of the machined aluminum disk, with provided screws. Two brackets are included for 2" receivers, and two for 1 1/4" models. They attach securely with 4 screws, and my package even contained an extra screw.
I'm not gonna kid you - there are more useful goodies you can buy for $25 or so. But if you're looking to turn some heads and advertise your love for hunting and shootin' irons, this is a pretty cool way to do it -- and with good quality, too.
