Personally, I'm not worried at all. I use a real recovery strap, a Bubba Strap in particular. I've always been in the habit of throwing a towel on the strap, too. I'm never going to be in a situation where my truck will be so stuck that there would be a chance of this happening either. JMO.

I have no clue what they go for but $28 sounds way better than $60!

As apeman stated earlier, here's some for $22. Bought a pair off this guy and they are in almost perfect condition, for prices if seen you can't beat it... Thanks again apeman. Just need to figure out my bolting method and these guys will be on.
