Default Tailgaters beware

Something I had made for my truck I think is cool. Bought a drop hitch and I used a worn out 6.5" Tricone bit. Just thought I'd share with you guys!

After I had two different guys with daddys money almost hit me in a day I got a drop hitch with just a 2" ball. One was in Porsche and the other was in a brand new "custom" mustang,you know the kind of spoiled brat that has his initials painted across the bottom of the doors? They both got close enough to where if I had a hitch at the time It might have hit. Next time I get a minute at work I'm going to test a few different things,see If I can get something similar.

Lol I hear that man. But any car would be sorry just to hit the factory bumper on these trucks. I had a girl drive mine one night I drank and she backed into one of those apartment awnings. The awning folded and there wasn't even a ding on my bumper. My buddy always makes a joke he wants to put a ford bumper on his Chevy haha.

My idea is to use a rigging hook,not sure what the pin size on them is.. I might have to rig a few things to get it to work.

Might wanna check with your insurance policy before running around with that sticking out. Some policies won't cover you if you have a trailer hitch, or anything sticking out of your receiver when not in use and you get rear ended / back into something/someone. Just my 2 cents.
