Hi, If anyone is interested, I mess around in the garage in the evenings after work and make these custom hitch covers. They are made out of solid brass with a stainless steel primer. The tube is aluminum also so there is no worry about any rust at all. The diameter of the brass is 4 inches and the engraved letters are around 1/2 inch tall. I can engrave just about anything you would want on here, and have more pictures of other styles available. I have sold many of these and everyone has been extremely happy with the quality and workmanship that I put into my product. The price is $60 plus shipping,if you have any questions or special requests please contact me at JohnNiemi@charter.net Thanks, John

Gene I'm in 100% agreement. John made one for me last year as well. It turned out even better than I hoped and John is a good guy to boot. I may yet order another.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

I had one on my wife's vehicle. Never thought it would be the target of a theif. That 4 inch brass round was worth the price of scrap to someone. They are quite nice, but if you put one on your hitch, better LOCK it on. That may not stop a theif, but it will deter the sombeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you sent one to Ronnie or Chris Barrett! They might add them to their catalog.
Really good looking covers. Do you have a website with more pics?

For that matter, the Barretts just opened a new gun store near their factory in Murfreesboro, TN. Those covers would probably sell...

Hey, These are still available and also make great one of a kind gifts. Send me an e-mail at JohnNiemi@charter.net to place your custom order hitch cover. Turn around time is very quick usually just a couple of days, and the quality is top notch. Thanks, John

Here is a new design I did for a varmint hunter. I think it came out pretty good. I can customize it with any text on it for the same price as my other covers $70.50 to your door. Get back to me at JohnNiemi@charter.net to place your order or for any questions. Thanks, John

I'm going to be needing another one soon, .358 PLP, the one you made for me last year with .330 Dakota is holding up great.
