have you ever had the miracle strap toss where you tossed it over the load and it rebounded and latched itself perfectly to the rub rail. 1 inna million shot. i know with our loads when it snows on top of the tarped loads and it freezes up, forget about trying to put the veeboards on. put them up walk to the other side,, booom you hear it falling off from the other side. walk back around put it back on, then again to the other side boom, falls again. talk about fustration rising to the limits. espically when you need 10 boards per side. we had a guy get so pissed they kept falling, he ran the load without them, and wound up loosing the rear skid of rubbermat torch rolls right off the side. whoops

Ink,

When I pulled a flat in rain/snow with v board loads, i would throw my straps and get them just about snug........just enough to slide the board under it. Seemed to cut down on them falling off. It takes a couple times to learn how much slack ya need to make it snug once you slide under...but......thats what I used to do.

CHop
