Does anyone know where to get a Triumph hitch cover for a 2" receiver hitch? I want one for my truck. I have had no luck searching the internet.

I did a quick google search and found a couple of companys that will custom make a hitch plug anywhere from $40 to $140 and up.

You can get creative and make one yourslef. I made one a few years ago in the shape of my state Louisiana. It was not all that hard to do. First get yourself a treated 2x4 and cut it to fit inside your trailer hitch. Next take a piece of of 1x whatever size you need to make you Trimuph logo. I would use 1x lumber instead of plywood it will last longer. Personally I would go with the triangle design that would be the eaiser one to do. Use some exterior glue and small nails to attach it. Next get some black paint and paint your triangle black then some white paint the Triumph name and what facts are on the patent badge plate. Finally make sure you put some type of poly or clear on it to protect your project. It is fairly easy to do any type of design you want just use your imagination. Oh yeah almost forgot to mention to drill the hole for your hitch pin. If you decide to do this send us a picture and share.

Pep Boy's Auto Parts sells a plastic one with a blank "face", then you buy the sticker of your choice from their selection. Guess you could stick a Triumph decal on it instead.

I was hoping to find a nice polished stainless one.
