Anybody else tried this?
I needed a quick solution to my rusty tailgate chains. Came across this at Lowe's-galvanized vinyl coated cable-don't know how long it will last but serves the purpose for now

Re: Anybody else tried this?
 That is a good idea Doesnt look bad at all, it looks good Maybe now you should powdercoat the eyelet and the funky s hook to match the truck paint and it just might look even better to where you didnt need the chains anymore

Re: Anybody else tried this?
I would heat shrink the entire cable to eliminate scratching... Looks good!
