    My SUV sits up pretty good and I looked good. 12 foot wide and 1 chain holding it looked scary.
    Being that it just rolled through a scale and was doing 70 through crazy morning I-75 traffic looked just Nuts.

    Saw a ld today that was going east bound on i80 in Pa. In the const zone.
    Rebar and made a quick stop.. guess who had rebar into the headache rack and traffic at a dead stop, due to it being single lane..
    Yep not secured right.
    Bet by the time Pa dot gets done with them and wrecker to move the ld. They won't have much money left

    Could be done like that same as with a lifting ring or rigging ring, whichever you wanna call it. But what makes that load choker nice is the opening that you can just slide the straps in instead of having to weave them through.
     
    Highway Sailor, TripleSix and MJ1657 Thank this.

    Totally agree. I think everyone should have a load choker in their truck... and also some of those neat rigging accessories from AU. :)

    I was just pointing out that it can be done with stuff you already have onboard.
