    Okay that's good to know. I'm really curious of how these straps and cam buckle holds up years from now.

    I had one on my FJ for 3+ years without issue. And every was fine, just a little crusty, when I pulled it off to sell prior to selling the FJ. If it's holds up to 3+ years in New England salt and chemicals it's pretty damn good.

    One of my metal brackets corroded and broke and he sent me a new one to replace it. Not sure why just one did that but the rest have been good. Lots of water, mud, snow, abuse.

    Hey Nathan, I broke one of the smaller brackets from my skid. Is there a way to buy another from you? Not the one with the hook

    Definitely agree with you. No more worrying about a steel skid rusting out the gas tank skid

    I really need to put mine back on Smokey. I thought with the 42's I'd be high enough, but I have several new gouges in the tank. Woops

    So in the first pic it's just being held by gunk and sheer force of will?
