2. The Grinch Winch Towing Device – The Grinch Winch has an adjustable hand throttle allowing you to vary the towing speed, a hydraulic brake for quick and easy stops, and a rope friendly roller system allowing you to tow from almost any angle. The Grinch Winch is designed to fit a 2” receiver hitch on any vehicle and also comes ready for bottom side wheel mounts. This winch can be used for snowskating, wakeboarding, snowboarding and other snow and water sports. Perfect for the ambitious athlete without an ounce of common sense on your Christmas list. First Aid Kit not included!

3. Shade to Go – This trailer hitch mountable umbrella shades from the sun and adjusts to provide shade almost anywhere. Use with trailer hitch mount on any vehicle. Who needs the Carribean with this gift? Now that’s relaxation.

5. Freedom Grill FG – 100 – Size matters but don’t drop your pants yet, comparing grill size at a tailgator is one sure way to establish dominance as a master of the tailgating universe. This hitch mounted grill company makes a great product and they’re also the winner of The National Barbecue Association award for excellence (no I didn’t make that up, it’s a real group, just like trekkies and the Lindsey Lohan fan club). There’s also a American Tailgators Association and a United States Tailgating Association, not sure why we need both. According to testimonials, this monster grill is the best way to bridge the gap between Bears and Rams fans.

6. Alfred Hitch Cover – Whether you’re a firefighter, Harley lover, or Mets fan, there’s a Alfred Hitch Cover for you. Don’t leave your hitch naked, make a statement about who you are with these great hitch covers. My personal favorite is the “Got Beer” bottle opener trailer hitch cover.

7. Party a Cargo – This hitch mounted kegerator is sure to make you the life of the party. The entertainment Party a Cargo can include boom box, 9” LCD screen, iPod docking station and CO2 cylinder for your kegerator. (good luck explaining THAT open container).

8. Skitching -A word made by combining two words, skate and hitch. Of course trailer hitches are great for pulling your boat or rv, but what about for pulling people? If you already have a trailer hitch, you already have the fun. Here’s the premise… Have your friends grab the trailer hitch (or tie off a rope from the hitch) and pull them around town preferably on a board or bike in highly trafficked downtown areas. If you’re parents have a college education you probably call this skitching, if not, you may know this Winter past time as hickey bobbing. Whatever you call it, it’s all kinds of fun. Here is a great example of skitching gone wrong.

9. Hitch Mounted Hammock Stand – No longer just for your yard, porch or deck, the hammock can go with you wherever you go. If regular tailgating events such as beer drinking and eating bratwurst are more activity than you’d like, take a nap in the hitch mounted hammock.

10. Tow Hitch TV- Get rid of the dorky AM headset and trade it in on the Tow Hitch TV!  Watch the pre-game show in HD and impress your friends.  Whether you’re camping or checking out the big game, it’s the perfect gift for the tailgater on your list.  Sofa and satellite dish sold separately…

Both hitch motorcycle carriers work very well and are in a class of their own. Hitch Source recently has arranged to offer several other trailer hitch mounted motorcycle carriers including street bikes and dual dirt bike carriers as well as some of the more common styles. We will keep you posted.

We’ll keep you posted about other products and vehicles as we add the pages to the site.  Now Honda CR-V owners can purchase accessories that are known to be compatible with the CRV.

Torklift tie downs look a lot like a receiver trailer hitch.  They have a receiver portion and a tie-down portion.  This allows you to attach the mounts once and to only use the tie downs when you need them.  When you’re not using them, the tie downs are removed and the receiver portion is virtually invisible on your truck.

How do they fit such a wide range of trucks?  Well as the guy who added them to the site, I can tell you that there are A LOT of models of these suckers.  They’ve custom fitted them to each application, so you can be assured that they will fit like a glove (not like OJ’s…).  We’ve linked in the installation instructions for each bracket so you can see what you’re getting yourself into before you start.  The camper tie down brackets are designed to mount to existing holes on the frame where possible and, do not affect the ground clearance of your truck.

We’ve taken our normal philosophy of providing product selectors and have developed a Torklift Tie Down Selector to help customers find the models right for your truck rather than having them dig through pages and pages of listings.  In addition to the Make, Model, and Bed length of your truck, the type of hitch and the running board configuration is important in selecting the right brackets.  Let us know what you think of the selector.

We’re excited about our new relationship with Torklift and are looking forward to working with them on their quality camper products.
