But it has everything to do with securement of the tarp, which is clearly part of your load, and part of your vehicle. To quote you:

“But that rub rail is there for a purpose, even though it’s rated to be able to strap to. If you take a corner too sharp and rub up against a wall or pole, that rub rail is there to protect your straps from being torn off. It makes no sense to me to have any part of the strap outside the rail, period.”

The same dangers exist of the strap being torn off due to being on the outside of the rub rail, whether it is holding down the load or holding down the tarp. A flying strap is a flying strap, no matter what it was holding.

And thank you for posting the picture.

What is weird is that Rev would actually keep that image in his mind of your straps outside the rubrail. I think he really luvs you :shock:

True, as my car could attest. It's like a rat-tail, only 1000 times nastier. Sad thing is, I didn't think it could do what it did until I reached my destination and saw the smack spot.

Oh, Good article there NotSteve

A good way to cut a tarp is to put a strap over it, bungee cords or rope is a far better solution.

As quite a few people here can attest to, I have a photographic memory, a firm grasp on the search function, and an uncanny ability to recall useless information at the drop of a hat.
