Now I am trying to figure out what special care I need to do when spending the night at a motel. I would like for the truck to be there the next morning without any new scratches. I do have an antenna and driver side outside mirror installed. So for you travelers - What if anything do you do when spending the night on the road to protect your old ride. Some sort of cover??

should have it on a trailer, if your worried about getting it
wet or dusty then your should have it in an enclosed trailer,
if your worried about getting it stolen then you should have
an alarm installed.

And when possible park under a light away from the building where others don't park.

I got the model w/the double hooks at each end. I fit it to where the two steering wheel ribs are between the hooks. A crook would have to cut both steering wheel ribs to get it out and it wouldn't be very driveable then. Park it close to your room and in a way that makes it hard for a wrecker or trailer to get to it. If you still have the stomp starter odda are young crooks wouldn't even know how to start it  Good luck Dave | | |
