I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a cotterless hitch pin (5/8) for the back tow receiver? I have a back-up light system , that makes it difficult to get my hands in there. I was hoping to get a extra long hitch pin, with some kind of locking pin.(you know like the pin that is on a stack-weight exercise machine)??? any ideas? (I might not of worded this just right I wanted to show what back-up light system I was talking about, it is very powerful, but it also takes 2"s off the lenght of the receiver. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...p-5687/c-10101

 

I saw them at WalMart in the automotive section. They have a piece on the end that flips down after it is thru the hole to form a T shape. You have to hold it up to pull the pin out.

 

I bought one @ Wal Mart, was Smith and Wesson brand, not sure who actually makes them. It's got the pin that goes through the drawbar, and the a round lock that just slides onto the end of it.

 

I got mine for my winch mount only but use it on the reciever all the time now because it is so convenient ( spelling ). I got it at wal-mart also. It is the kind where you gently squeeze the lock end together, turn it to line up with the pin, and pull it out.
I bought it, like I said, for my winch mount on the front of my ramcharger in the reese mount behind the bumper. It is very hard to reach in behind the bumper in front of the plow rack. This pin is a lifesaver.
