• What Is The Difference Between ShockStrap Ratchet Tie-Downs 297-7RSBB-UTV and 297-7RSBB-M?
• The ShockStrap Ratchet UTV Tie-Downs w Shock Absorbers - 1-1/2" x 7' - 1,000 lbs - Qty 4 # 297-7RSBB-UTV and # 297-7RSBB-M are actually the exact same straps.

• Comparing Brophy and etrailer D-Ring Tie Down Anchors
• Based solely on price and capacity the etrailer D-ring anchor part # RRING-R6000 and the Brophy part # RR05 do not make perfect sense but they are made by two different companies and sometimes we are able to get better deals on things from one company. What I do really like more about the Brophy is the square bolt holes that allow you to use a carriage bolt that will hold itself in place when tightening whereas the etrailer has round holes and would require someone to hold a wrench to...
