I had to replace the straps once as they were too far gone, but I bought some off a breaker and did the same process to them. I am always slightly apprehensive about powercoating....I feel that when it starts cracking, it lets moisture in and rusts from underneath without you ever seeing and warning you. 1 Quote 1990 Black MT NA LWB = 2014 - 2020 (Sold) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2015 - 2017 (Stripped & Scrapped) 1991 Red MT TT LWB = 2017 - 2021 (Sold) 1991 Black MT TT LWB = 2018 - 2021 (Sold) 1989 Red AT TT LWB = 2021 - XXXX (Kept) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
