Instead I went with this....





as I'm tired of running a 'Wraith'. :D And it just looks bad to the bone (i'll need some dirt dinglers for it so when it mounts Melons, its doing it right)!
 
Hey guys I've not forgotten about the tow strap thing I've actually been trying some stuff between builds and to be honest the shoe string thing works ok.... I feel there is a bit to be desired. After a little use they end up looking kinda beat up. Functional but just not what I'd like to have after a little use. I'm really wanting to make something better. Do you guys think 3/8" is too wide for a tow strap?

I'm thinking about making some from some real nylon webbing. I've gotten all the little issues with the fraying and all that taken care of I can hot knife them and it leaves a nice heat sealed edge. The problem is I cannot find any materal that is narrower than 3/8".

The nice thing is there are a ton of different color selections. If you guys don't think 3/8" is too wide I was going to order some (blue 8) ) It's my favorite color and makes some and see how they turn out.

There are even a ton of patterns.

Those are just a few of the colors available.

I could even do some out of tubular nylon but that would move the width to 1/2" but the strength could be crazy strong.

Dude, that's awesome! I've been thinking about doing something similar to this to my class 2. I really like my '72 chevy and it performs well but it could use a smaller body and some front/rear dovetailing. It's just so huge! Might be my first attempt at brazing. One thing at a time though. I gotta get my class 1 chevy done first. I need to get back to work on it!
 
Zero that is a really cool truggy! R2J does great work...

Well, I took the day off and I'm heading up north to my buddies house. Him and his 3 year old little girl are going to help me with my soldering woes. :roll:
 
Looks good WarTrader"thumbsup" do one up and see how 3/8" looks on the truck.

Bad ass rig zero! I saw that in the classifieds. It has potential"thumbsup"
 
Man the Yellow and Orange ones are dead ringers for ARBs Tree Savers and Snatch Straps. Hmmm, Snatch Straps? sounds like another name for a thong.

Nice rig Chris. should order some scale Diamond plate to work on the bed part, would look cool there. I did find some scale expanded metal plate, bought a 8" by 12" piece to play with.

Where did you find that? I was looking for some plastic diamond plate, but didn't find any.
