Which rachet strap is the best? One of the almost daily questions I hear. My answer is NONE of them. Huh? When you are trying to secure your rig to a trailer, truck, toy hauler or whatever you need to think about a few things?
How many times have you seen a ratchet strap lying in the road? Have you looked at your straps after just a season? Notice a few popped stiches here and there? A bit of fraying on the hook attachment?
Next time you tie down your rig with a conventional rachet strap do this, get it where you like it and then sit on the rig, bounce a bit and watch the strap sage and flex and slam against the tension when you remove your weight. If you grab the hook while sitting on the rig I'll bet you can remove it from its anchor point.

Schwiiinggg!Utahs Governor has signed SB181 which allows street legal OHVs on the road beginning Oct 1 2008. Before you do the jig keep in mind there are some hoops and several restrictions.

DOM, ERW, HREW, CREW no these are not parts of your computer. But the steel industry has plenty of its own lingo. Whoda thunk it. Since we get a lot of questions about this (yeah we use a bunch around here) I thought a short primer might help. Why you ask? Well there are a bunch of products out there, primarily Cages, that are made of this stuff and I thought you might like to know what you are buying.
Yeah we just couldn't resist a project. In this case "Project RZR". Of course we started with a bone stock RZR, something like this..but green. Of course that was a lot of fun, we ripped around in it for a while and then we just couldn't resist and like all good gear heads we started "improving" it. Don't get me wrong Polaris did a fine job. But hey this is what we do so let the alterations begin. A walk around the RZR just got us excited. We had more ideas than we knew what to do with. Of course not all of them were that great and a few were bound to break the bank so we settled on some that made the RZR a tad more suited to our particular style of riding.
