lee,
no problem linking. painting: not worth it. paint comes right off :) bob |
i bought mine off of the owner of 4wd shop for 25 bucks. i painted mine and its chipped off now too.
|
A thick layer of clear coat over the paint has kept mine lookin' good for quite some time now.
:great: |

bob thanks. can't wait, theyre on their way right now.... |
Price has gone up, when I bought mine about a year and a half ago I got it for $33.95 shipped. I'm still thinking about painting mine...sounds like if you clear coat it, it will last.

I just took a shot of mine (heavy clear coat). This is after 5 months of wear and tear. Not perfect but not too shaby.

those are nice to have and all, but if you're using a recovery strap w/ loops at each end, then why not just shove the loop up into the receiver and just put the pin thru the loop??? that's what i've always done and it's worked fine for me...
|
but then you dont look as cool when mall-crawling :bigok: :smokin:
lol j/k |
youre both right :laugh:

bama,
You're right about that...but in my case, I don't use it just for getting me or somebody else unstuck. I use it around my property, and when I do that I use a logging chain with a monster hook on the end, for this purpose you can't go wrong with the receiver shackle. Before I found the receiver shackle I was just using the chain loops on my hitch, but that caused some interesting angles to form, the back end of the Runner would loop around and get in harms way and such...this way I just hook up and pull. But you are right, for looped tow straps this is a bit overkill. Fink:devil: |
i actually got the Galvanized Alloy Steel bow shackle from mcmaster's... and it honestly looks used! the orange paint on the pin is all scratched off and worn out.
meh. i dont care, its gonna get that way anyway... i might paint the pin black though.. orange doesnt quite go with my truck :laugh: |
Every single D-Shackle that I have ever owned has had some orange/yellow paint on the pins and it has come off all of them by me just picking it up. LoL.
I'm probably just going to leave mine bare metal...unless I get motivated when I take off my trailer hitch to paint it the same color. Fink:devil: |
