My brother is a firefighter and got me a length of condemned hose. I cut off foot long strips of it and insert the strap through that and when I strap something down, I put that over any possible chaffing areas. Works brilliantly. The rubber hose inside helps keep it from slipping and the outer canvas layer is tough as ****.

Fire depts throw their old hoses away after it reaches a certain age (they always cut off one end first for some reason, maybe to prevent corruption where people give away/sell useful hose), so if you want a piece for this purpose it should be easy to obtain although you may need to wait a year or so until their disposal time.

fire hose makes great strap protectors!

I should be able to get some old hose, one of my daughters was a firefighter at a local station (about 45 minutes away). She still has some contacts there so perhaps I can get some. Thanks for the ideas.

The person hauling the boxes and drums in the white ford was probably over on the drive axel, but didn't have a tailgate. It appears to be a lift gate which is much stronger but much heavier as well.

Saw this on the way home from the city last night. Pulled up to traffic waiting for construction (that season in alberta is almost over finally) and the wife says "wow that looks like a bright individual there".

Who in the world buys a receiver hitch with a tri-ball, when they have no receiver and then uses a lag bolt and a couple of non-hardened nuts to secure it? HAHAHAHA Crazy Arizonans.
