They are replacing them for free at Doggett. Told him I would tell some people. I know alot of people that have broken them on these trucks. Tell your friends.

Because they did a piss poor job at keeping them from rusting and they break after like 2 years.

I must just be lucky, mine are not broke yet, and I have set my fat ass on it many times, and have had my old 44 & 60 stiing on it for like 2-3 weeks.

both of mine broke on the same f***in day. some one suggested to me changing the cables to the old school hinged metal arms, anyone ever heard of that being done?
