    I have the safe for the hitch and love it. If you keep money and shit it your dumb but I keep my keys in it when I go on kayaking trips. To many people check the gas tank anymore. AND TRUCK BALLS ARE HORRIBLE. imagine driving in front of a mini van with with a little girl in it. A broads first view of balls should not be from a truck. I hate all the fords and chevys with that shit on them.

    Well said. I can't imagine a child asking, "Mom, what's that hanging from the rear of the pickup?" Might be standard equipment for F350s with aftermarket stacks. :mudding:
    Totally ridiculous.

    This question seems odd. The Truck Nutz are nothing similar to the Vault.

    Does anyone else see what I'm asking?

    trailer hitch ball stays on all the time, use it all the time, would be a pain to remove it all the time. it also gives you some protection in case someone backs into you. i
    even have a lock on mine so no jackass can steal it.[​IMG]

    I'm almost positive it's against the law in California to leave your hitch in when not in use. When I was shopping for my Tacoma (2 weeks ago), someone who did just this, backed into my Mercedes at the dealership and because that was there, he had to buy me a new grill and fix my bumper. Already got the check.
