I was laughing too. Thanks for the vid, liked!

    I bought a truck a year ago and was never given the key for the tow hitch pin. I needed to swap my hitch for the first time today as I was buying a large travel trailer. Was about to go ham with a hammer and decided to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Grabbed a random jack handle and had it off in 10 seconds with the same reaction of what? That was to easy.

    I had to do this with a tow smart Baja 7305 hitch pin that I lost keys. I bought 1.5” pipe from Lowe’s (keep receipt to bring back..$20) it worked and was easy to bust lock.

  • @atfsux
    @atfsux 2 роки тому

    Truly surprising. I did not expect success. Most thieves aren't interested in a $20 hitch insert like that. But,...those fancy and expensive adjustable inserts are a couple hundred dollars. Even my simple inexpensive one from Harbor Freight runs $60.

    • @ArizonaHotHomestead
      @ArizonaHotHomestead  Рік тому

      i also though of this that if i had a boat or a small trailer attached maybe they could steal that. which explains why my dad always had a pad lock on the trailer hitch lock.

    Proof that these locks provide a False sense of security, only keeping honest people honest. To slow thieves and prevent prank pin pulls I use a Grade 8 Bolt for my pin. With loctite thread-locker on the 2 nuts holding it in place, followed by a bit of J-B Weld and a cotter key. This has kept everything snugly in place. Yes the pin can still be removed but will take a lot more time and effort to do so. And yes it will now be a royal pain if I ever want to swap out the hitch. But the hitch will still be there to swap out.
