    It's almost like you've already got a handle RIGHT NEXT to the strap thing. Why don't you just use the handle on the case?!?!

    Don't hate the player, hate the game!

    I'd rip that off.



    No, but seriously, as soon as I put them on, I knew they were coming off. But I wondered about just using the handle part and taking my soldering iron and melting a hole in the ends just like the example you posted Jerry.

    I follow them. Those are nice. Really nice. Some people say the paracord degrades quickly though exposed to the elements all the time. I have no experience.

    For the second time this week, “Damn that Betty White has a good lookin’ rack on her”. But for realsies. I look forward to seeing your adventures in this current configuration. I like how.....not gaudy....the rack looks. Especially on the non molle side.

    This is the best 1/2 ton full size on the market sucka! 23 mpg combined when no load, 13 mpg pulling 7000lbs. Comfortable as hell, tons of features, tons of power. Until Toyota gets their head out of their ass, I won’t buy a new Tundra. I looked at them prior to buying this truck, the Ford beat it in literally everything less resale value which idc about that. It’s 2 years old now with 60k hard miles on it and no issues. I pull that weight 4-6 times a year 1000-1200 miles at a time with some pretty significant hill climbs. No ragrats. Ask Randy, he’ll admit it too, Ford builds a damn nice truck.

    We were talking about late 70s early 80s Broncos the other day. This past Sunday I saw one. That's damn near 41 years.

    So I have made paracord bracelets before, I bought the taco vinyl ones. They are nice looking and paracord is strong as hell but he should have tripled the connecting points in the Eyebolts. From what I've seen it is the same process more or less for the grab handles as it is the bracelets. So I am going to have a go with some basic black paracord and double up the eyebolt connection points as well as the grab handle portion.

    Side note: in afghanistan we put pullup bars up in the ceiling using paracord and had a pull up challenge and that fucking thing held on for an entire deployment.

    Yea, I agree with you. 2 loops seems under designed. 3 or more would be better.

    I agree with Roberto. The more loops the merrier
