Just found this great idea for tie-down

Wow , you guys can be a tough crowd, I'm the guy that makes these things and we,ve sold over 100 prs now with no reported problems. If you hook them with opening down they will not fall off, as for galling , squeaking , the only way that could happen is if they were loose enuf to allow the car to move side to side, all they actually can do is slap each other in a vertical motion when traveling. I,m not trying to sell you anything, just trying to set the record straight. Have a happy holiday season!!!

hey jeff it's scott,i had a thought about mark's comment on this why not where they cross coat these extenders with a plastic or rubber tool handle coating,if you are concerned with gulling.as an electrician that uses this type of product to coat worn tool handles this is what this is for insulating against.

Ed, To unload the straps it has to move about a foot. Rocking in park will not unload them. Fortunately we have never had that happen. We X the front and rear with the winch up front too.


Nice product Chasman!

What I like is that I could use these with a loop which is forward of my axle housing, maybe along the frame rail. I have a short WB car and a short Lo-Boy trailer with hardly any overhang at the rear. It's always a pain to get the straps on the rear end and still make the cinching work on a short area.
Once I get my car back I can make measurements for the steel straps you make and determine where to put the loops for the best fit.
