thats a good find ..

[Bronco85]

You probably need that 12" 50 foot strap for your bronco

Those are hella good prices.

[TRLR8DXJ]

Wow, this is a great find.:14: As long as they don't double the price for shipping:ihih:

[TonyM]

Well, so far so good 2 3"x30'straps to AK only 93.00 not to bad

93.00 was the price plus shipping? If that stands, there is no longer any excuse not to have a good strap in your rig :beatdeadhorse5:

Got a call today(Sunday) from LSF. Verifying my order to Alaska. Everything is ready to ship Monday. Very nice older couple that run this company. Great find Tony:hurray: Highly recommend and will be ordering from them again.

[TonyM]

They carry some other cool stuff too... cheap camo hunting gear, bags, gun cases... all sorts of stuff.

Hopefully this goes through good, cause ANYONE who does not have a decent strap, needs to get one before summer... :32:

Got my Straps today. Took 4 working days to arrive. They are not the normal Yellow strap commonly sold up here, but a a bright orange. I'm a little disappionted. I pulled my strap that I carry in my jeep to compare. On the good side they roll up nice and compact, but when I compaired it to my expensive locally bought strap there really was no compairson. The strap is 1/3 the thickness, it does not have a max load rating stiched on the strap and the ends are not reinforced. With all that said. It pretty much explains why they are 1/3 the price. Had I not had the high quailty strap that I use for wheeling to compare these to I probably won't have know the difference. The company Claims they are 30000lbs strap, but My other 3" strap has a load capacity of 17800lbs stiched to it. So how does a 3 layer strap only carry 17800lbs and a single layer carry 30000Lbs. I'm going to use these this summer and see how well they hold up, but as you see from the picutes below the yellow strap is a 3"x20' with a continueous 3 layer strap stiched together and the orange is 3"x30' single layer strap. I guess only time will tell:dupe:

With all that Said these straps are still way better than some of the garbage that I've seen pulled out on the trail. So if you can't afford the local HD verson of these straps. PLEASE, PLEASE:beatdeadhorse5: atleast look into getting some of these.

[TonyM]

I wonder if they are made from a different material..? I don't know how they could possibly say that rating, and not be. That would be a huge liability factor on their part I would think.

I agree though, really won't know for sure till you get a chance to tug on one...

Maybe call them, give them the pictures you've taken, and see if they have an explanation. :skep:

[NOEND]

Keep them home if you feel they are made cheap. I can tell you a story about a guys face being smaked off buy a busted snach strap. NOT purdy!

[TonyM]

Eh... we'll just be sure to be extra careful when using them for the first time... :8:

This strap worked great this weekend. Well worth the money IMO. The stretch very well, and have good "Boing" about them... out performed your typical $100 50k strap hands down..

No one has an excuse not to own of these now...:sosp:

I would like to add unlike the $100 strap...this one did not break lol:p

BTW when you compare that "$100 local strap" to a tow strap you are not comparing apples. The ones with the stitched labels are crane straps and are rated for overhead. To my understanding they are heavier duty, rated for safety (legal type), and do not stretch, and are not meant for shock loads but continuous load. A good tow strap is better and the rating is shock, not continuos. So use the crane strap with your dozer and a tow strap if yo want to hit it.

At no point in this thread has there been a reference to anything besides a "Recovery Strap" as intended for offroad use. In this thread the term "Tow strap" has been used, but only in relation to the rest of the conext of this thread.

There are MANY companies (ARB, Viking, Warn, etc.) that make "Recovery straps" with less rating, and are upwards of $100+.

This summer we used these straps, and they worked when Waynes $120 AIH Tow Strap failed. These straps are tried and true at this point.

These straps are designed to be used for vehicle point-to-point recoveries.

Quite confusing people Chris... :smash:

I'm talking about the pics where he wasn't impressed with your new straps because he was using a crain strap. I agree, tow straps are for towing, crane straps although look cooler are not.

When I commented about these straps they had literally came straight out of the USPS box. I had only made a visual comparison of the difference in the 2 straps. I jumped to the conclusion that "Size Matters" there fore the orange straps were going to be inferior. As I soon found out like Tony said they were not.:50: They turned out to work suprisingly well and lasted when the expensive straps that we were already carrying did not. So for the price these straps ARE worth what they are selling them for and I most likely will never by another local strap again.

[joe231]

so the link is no good now, you have a name of the manufacturer?

[TRLR8DXJ]

Looks like they reworked their website a little.
