    I'm envious! I wonder if Texas has those? Hmmm, then again, I wonder if it is a red flag to would-be theives that a gun might be inside, like my NRA sticker was to the punks who stole my G17. Prolly worth it though, cause the coolness factor of that tag is worth the risk.

    yeah, I worry more about the theft of the winch then them breaking into my truck. I'd like to find a cost effective way to secure my winch, currently its secured with a heavy cable lock.

    the yellow tag will look good on my Navy blue truck, it'll look like a WV fans truck.

    I'm not into putting decals on my vehicles, but I have a spot on the truck bumper that I'm going to cover with this.

    They make bolts we used at the carwash that had a head that can only be tightened, not loosened. Then maybe bugger up the threads below the nut so they need a wrench on the nut too. Then maybe some red Locktite to slow them down. Course, you'll need a torch if you ever need them off.

    Just got my Jeep out for the day.

    Put a bit of welding rod on the nut and threads to keep them from getting it off. After all, how often do YOU plan to be taking it off. Probably not until it malfunctions and you need to take it off for repair. Years.

    My truck sits parked most of the time at home. I don't leave guns in it unattended, and its not left anywhere other than at my house for long periods of time. If someone steals the tags, I'll just make a police report and order a new set, I'm not really worried about it. I know there are folks out there that enjoy stealing (collecting) personalized tags so it wouldn't surprise me if they got stolen.

    The yellow is much nicer in person, its more of a candy metallic like the new Ford Mustang sunburst color. Looks good on a Navy Blue truck, I might have to become a WVU fan just so I can have matching football apparel! I'd post a pic but not really interested in broadcasting my license plate number!! [8D]

    smartazz!!!! I guess I should have included small print for the literalists in the room.

    This is representative of the license plates you will receive, these are NOT the exact license plate numbers you will receive
