  1. Looks great. I'm thinking of putting something like that in a few areas of my cab(where I can get it to stick anyway). Anything to kill the drone/cut the noise.

    Man, I'm SOOOO jealous of these nice, clean, rustfree cabs!!!!!

    You can use roof or window flashing from home dopy,same stuff for a fraction of the price,used it on my RD years back and it took all the vibration noise out of the metal..
  2. TSC has these: http://www.tractorsupply.com/erickson-recover-strap-with-loops-55-000-lb-maximum-3040114

    They've got smaller ones, too, for less money. 27K, 18K, 10K ratings in addition to that 55K strap.

    The straps are the way to go but from what I read online you need a strap rated for double the weight of the truck you are recovering,they are very pricy for the upper ratings,they come up to 12 inches wide for the extra heavy loads,sure wish I had one for this blizzard,using a chain was not only a pain but not very effective..
  3. I used to have a snatch rope, used it for four wheeling, mud bogging. It was a big blue rope, and you could hook it to a stuck truck with lots of slack in it and take off ''hammer down'' to pull the stuck truck and it wouldn't break. I later made a tire swing for the kids out of it.

    Just saw this,thats it but its a flat strap and way much heaver,never saw one to buy in the truck shops,gonna look on line for one..
  4. Steel cable is even worse when it breaks. It will go through steel with enough force.

    Not a cable it looks like the flat tie down straps but much wider and thicker with hooks on each end,kinda like a snatch strap,lol you know what I mean..
  5. I see the Acting Highway supervisor resigned today because he went away during the storm and nobody was running our show. Paul
