Re: awsome find today

Only issue with those are that the chain/rope can fall off... they also make some with a little piece of metal to hold the chain/rope inside...

Like this... good price on yours though. Maybe you could add a piece of metal before you tighten them down...

Re: awsome find today

turn your hooks the other way. instead of down turn them up,that way the rope or chain won't fall off.

after looking at the pic,my idea wasn't so good because i see the hook hitting the frame.lol

Re: awsome find today

Hey Poke,If you have the clips take time to put them on.nothing like crawling out,slogging around to hook the tow strap and the dang thing falling off then slogging back out to hook it again..................Don't ask how I know that.
