I already did. He said he has no imediate plans to do any in the near future.
Sounds like I need some other people interested.
In the meantime does anyone know of anybody else or suppliers?
Rules of the forum. He made and sold a batch on here and you are not allowed to hawk or sell without being a vendor. He paid - standup guy. Has a full-time job and a family and never made the straps for profit or as a "business." Stand-up guy who made a quality item in small batches.
I have two partners and two other supervisors that drive the partners old hand me downs. They like the avalanches, they like the weather proof "trunk" and such for the blueprints and other crap they haul around. I pull my toys in addition to some work trailers so I opted for the Dmax. Now that I have the retrax cover they are jealous.
they have been great for me. the only quirk i have with them is the little plate on the strap is kinda sharp and it cut me once. other than that, they are a top-notch product.
VR straps kept my tailgate from coming completely off during Katrina (145 mph sustained, higher gusts). The right side latching stud (not part of the VR strap) torqued and bent the sheetmetal, allowing my tailgate to flap free, but I found it still hanging on by the VR straps. No doubts about loading up my Harley dresser now.

Anyhow, it's not that I don't want to offer them anymore, just that it's a hard for me to make these and ship them in a timely manner. I've been traveling more for work lately, a lot which happens on weekends, because most places can't take their robots offline except for the weekends and that's the only time I get to work on them. My next trip will likely be Oakland CA -:t
I'm going to start shopping around for a machine shop that can do the pin work for me, especially since my die has cut it's last pin due to use, I'm out of grooving bits which can take a few weeks to get sometimes.
If I can find a machine shop that make these for me without a detrimental cost burden I'll continue to offer these until.......
