Lippert StrapTek WD setup
Didnt see this listed anywhere on here and thought some of you engineers would like to noodle over it! Lippert StrapTek Looks to simply replace the chains and snap up bracket of normal WD system...

I just love how open minded, receptive to new ideas and, over all, positive people on here are...
Or not...
This to me seems like an interesting new take on torqueing up your bars. Todays ratchet straps have seriously high working load limits and stand up extremely well to the elements. It would be quiet, easy to hook up. I like it, don't get me wrong I am not trading in my current hitch.
I can see where having the same amount of torque on each side would be a bit of a pain if not on reasonably level ground. I wonder if perhaps it does not matter quite as much as it would with chain because there is an engineered degree of stretch with a strap. (one of the reasons they are the preferred method of load securement in the heavy haul industry.
Anyhow, neat idea, I will look forward to hearing from some actual users.
