I been driving for a couple weeks for them... anyway could someone PLEASE tell me where I can buy one of them winchbars? god I hate doing it manualy with my hand haha.. not even sure i'm calling it by the correct name, its basically a tool that winds up the strap once its unstrapped..

    What your looking for is a strap winder. There are a couple of different types, most hang on the rub rail and you wind the strap with a crank handle. You should be able to find one at most truck stops... I would say your best bet is to go to one of the trailer sales yards and pick one up it would be cheaper and you can find most anything else for securement there. Most will run between $15 and $30.
