They won a Best New Product award from SEMA...But would you trust them???
I am personally on the fence!
While they will definitely be lighter and easier to use I am nervous that Under extreme loads they might open.
So what do you guys think?

I'd be a little concerned with the life span, or after damp/wet for a while.
For what it's worth the few clevis,shouldn't be that outta hand heavy.
But they defiantly do look nice, and if semi new,I think would be kwel addition.
I'd say a big tugem strap ,few nice size clevis,

I would assume wear and tear depends on how well they are kept care of

I'd like to see a up close video of them in action, to see how well they tighten down.

It's going to be tough to get people to buy them at $54.95. , PJF4x4 has the distrubution from Quebec.

$55.00!!!??? Seriously?
I like the idea it's light. I also like that it'll fit through a small opening.
I don't like that it might get cut on a sharp edge.
I'd like to try it but not at $55.00. I already have about 8 clevis' now.

I like the idea.... Wear and tear is a concern especially attaching to the bumper if the hoop is sharper... It could Frey...
Still wouldn't mind adding a couple just to have..
