    Well this time I locked my tarp straps in my tarp box, got a lock on my chain/binder rack. My 8' drop tarps and my ladder are on the passenger side dunnage rack which is right up against the jagger bushes. Someone will pay dearly to get at those lol.

    i'd like to know where bungees can be bought for $3. the most expensive i've seen was $1.25 at the truck stops.

    course, i just had to buy a whole box as i lost mine by mistake. from a utility trailer supply store. box of 100 cost $150 after tax.
    last year they were .89 a peace. now they are 1.39 a peace.

    don't know what the going rate is these days to buy online.

    I've had bungees stolen as well, and they tried getting into my battery box as well.

    Anyhow, the truck stop that isn't the Loves in Hubbard Ohio sells bungees any size and pretty cheap, and they hooks are already pre-crimped around the rubber so you don't have to get out the pliers and do it yourself.
