It’s a leer cap. You get automatic night driving luck with one of them puppies on. Talking from experience of course.

I did that in a hotel in Tuscon, Came out the next morning backed up to a tree that had two thick branches pefectly spaced on both sides of the jeep. Like i somehow parked between 2 giant fingers.

Pet peeve. Take off your hitch if it’s not being used.

If he can. Sometimes the hitch and receiver become one.
Edit. To the people down voting this, visit the rust belt and try to remove a receiver. If you don't go out of your way to maintain it, it's not coming back out.

My hitch gets used EVERY Friday - Sunday. If you think I’m taking it off and re-installing it every week, you’re out of your damn mind

You act like it’s hard to do. It’s literally two pins to remove the ball section. I know. I’ve done it hundreds of times.

You act like the hitch on my truck has any impact on your life. It does not.

Your unused hitch affects every one driving behind you. It impacts walkways, particularly if you back into a sidewalk. You’re correct in that I don’t know how you use your truck. Just because it doesn’t impact me doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact others around you. You commented in response to my post like you were defending yourself. You act like my opinion has any impact on your life. It does not.

u/AOneArmedHobo Oct 22 '24
You’re right. Your opinion has zero impact and therefore my hitch will remain installed on my truck 😊

And I will continue to think you are an inconsiderate ass.

u/AOneArmedHobo Oct 22 '24
No worries. I’ve been called worse. Fortunately I’m able to watch where I’m walking because my head isn’t up my ass.

Plot twist: Now your truck is holding the tree up and you'll never be able to move it.

If it's your home, you would've noticed already how past a certain point you are already close to that branch

Were your tail lights not working?

Realy dark parking lot at a hotel. I do now have led tail and backup lights.

That's when you go get a lottery ticket and hope you didn't use up all your luck on that parking job!

At first I thought you said “Parked my truck while drunk last night” lmao. I was way more impressed you got into the parking spot.
That is some serious parking nonetheless though.

u/srulers Oct 21 '24
Literally. People in this thread are pretending like it’s normal to not notice a tree when you’re backing up. You gotta be drunk inattentive for that to happen. Doesn’t matter how weak your taillights are.

Does your truck not have lights like every one else?

u/cycl0ps94 Oct 21 '24
Reverse lights generally aren't that great. Then you add the topper (bed cap, shell, etc.), it can make it difficult to see through 2-3 layers of glass. Especially at night. Even if OP did this during the day, it's still pretty impressive to get that close w/out help.
