Here's where to get the sticker...
Zombie Hunting Permit
Last week I made a bracket to mount a Jerry can holder on my swingout tire carrier. The holder only came with a cloth strap and crappy plastic buckle.
Soooo, I bought a latch, some metal and a lock...
Bent the metal, welded on the latch and took it to the paint booth and did a professional rattlecan paint job
...
It didn't weld as good as I like because I didn't get all the coating off the latch, but it'll be ok.
It's definitely more secure than what it came with and it'll be a little harder for it to grow legs.

Got my early Christmas present installed...
XM satellite radio installed. XM oNyx. My wife let me have it early so we can listen to Christmas music. I LOVE SATELLITE RADIO!!!! It even works in my garage without any loss of signal.
I hard wired a ciggy outlet to plug the radio and my GPS under the dash too, so I don't have any giant plugs sticking out of the lighter.

One thing you might want to consider, though, is a different lock. Masterlock makes an outdoor version that has a coated shackle and covered key hole. Go to masterlock.com and search the product catagory for weather covered padlocks. I've used the camo one on my game cam for over 3 years and it's never stuck on me.
