I get the standard yellow Ancra 4" straps from Tarp Stop for that price.
I also bought my Extremes from them and they cut me a deal ($15 each) but I don't really care for them a whole lot. They are very very stiff and a PITA to get rolled on the winch. Plus rolling them up in the sidebox is a chore as they tend to just unravel themselves. I bought a few bags of the "strap bands" for them.Mommas_money_maker Thanks this. -
12,000 pounds is the breaking strength, 5400 pounds is the working load limit. Same straps.

I cant remember who System Transport does business with over there for their tarps but that would be the only place I know of over there. I liked those tarps and the repairs made on them. There is that Hay tarp place by Ellensburg, might be worth checking out, its on the north side (right next to) I-90NWMAXI Thanks this.

I didn't think about that place thanks

Years ago when tube tires were common.
I would old collect flaps from the tire shops and 8 inch pieces for strap protectors.
Nothing worked better. -
how many remember what a tire flap even is? Much less a tube.
-
Make friends with a place that has old fire hose or a carpet installer, old mud flaps and those dollar store welcome mats can also be used for strap protection.
When possible a tire shop that does tubed tires toss out the tube liners, they make good strap protectors also. -
i dont think so. my 1989 straps are twice as thick as the new straps. called the strap co. about ording the 12000 lb straps. they said they didnt make them anymore because the hook wasnt rated for 12000 lbs. laying in bed with a bad back so i am not going to the truck to look, but i thank the name started with sty------.

I just went to the junk yard in town and grabbed 30 rubber floormats out of the junk cars. They sold me them for $10 and I cut them all with the chop saw and made a BUNCH of edge guards out of them.randomname Thanks this.
