    If you do go stainless as I have, you'll notice the weld is smaller and tighter. To me, that says a lot about how much stronger stainless welds are than steel or aluminum. Plus they shine better

    Friend of mine had a stainless strap let go on his 05 379 day cab. This is where it broke:

    Full tank didn't even drop down, seemed only the adhesive on the webbing held it up.
