I ran a grade 8 bolt in my receiver hitch to deter theft for 15 years across two trucks. Never had a hitch disappear. Only reason I went back to the pin was that the bolt threads finally got so rusty that I had to really work with get the nut off. Neverseize

Know the problem with that stuff thought Tikkanut? That product is engineered so that the minute you get a bit of it on your fingers, your nose starts to itch. Don't know how they hell they accomplished it, but they did.

Good stuff I use that quite a bit down here. I swear just taking the lid off of it makes you look like the Tin Man with all that stuff getting on you.... and the more you wipe it off, the more it spreads!

I can't believe this went as many posts as it has. I'll say again, if you are wheeling and relying on yanking your vehicles around with straps ,ropes and cables. Get a winch, and save yourselves lots of headaches, vehicle damage and possible injury. It's not rocket science! Winches are good investments, and if setup properly can be moved from front to back, and moved from vehicle to vehicle! My opinion YMMV. That's the way mine was set up.If I had to yank some think.I put an old tire in the middle. Never had a tire fail either.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

Duh, it takes 2 wrenches and a good bit of time to remove the bolt. A pin can be removed and stolen in mere seconds Thieves normally aren't walking around with 2 wrenches to remove bolts
