Tow Straps/Chains

[billy_06evoix]

Anyone know where I can get some toe straps or toe chains? Or how to make them, fairly easily, because I'm not too good at making that stuff.

Thanks,

I did, I'm not seeming to find anything about that type of stuff.

Just something I can hook to a tow hook on the front bumper and wrap it around the bumper to make it look a little more like a woods truck.

I guess just use your imagination and fab something up, you seem to be good at that..

You want chain or rope or cable?

Nevermind, MSD is out of stock. And RPP doesn't even make them, so Kenny if your still up for making some, I'll take you up on that offer..

I'm the last resort huh? I need a idea of what you want though. Rope, Cable or Chain? Length? Color?

Billy - I posted a few links yesterday but it appears my post was removed along with a few others...
Here's a few links to some ideas about making chains/straps. Making your own stuff is very rewarding; of course, anything T'Kenny hooks you up with--no pun intended--should be great.

I made a working recovery strap and a winch strap last night. I used white shoelace material I found at Wal*Mart and dyed it yellow. They took the dye OK and look like slightly faded real straps. I used the strongest thread I could find in my wife's sewing kit and went to town. I covered the sewn areas with heat shrink tubing. It is a little less scale looking, but should help protect that area. I tested them and so far so good. Since the laces are a synthetic material, they seem stronger than cotton and have a realistic amount of stretch. They don't dye as well as cotton and I used boiling hot water and added salt--just needed another packet of dye I think.
