Do all tow straps come in boring colors. Anyone know where I can get a leopard print one, or anything pretty??? Don't be laughing!!

I've seen some flourescent straps, but wouldn't know where to buy one. You could try buying a white or light colored one and throwing it into a pot of rit dye!

Being female, I totally understand your request. I think I can help you find what you are looking for. My hubby (Swordy) has a PURPLE tree saver he bought last year after seeing it at the banquet at Moab ZuZoo VI. The tree saver is a small version of a tow strap to save a tree from a winch wire. The same company offers a bright blue (cool color I checked) tow strap.

Matt, the owner of Independent 4x is also a fellow Isuziod, and is at Zu events. If, you find the leopard one let me know. I'd carry that one around too.... you know in case some jeep needs pulling out of course.

If you do find a... uh, ahem, leopard skin strap, make sure its at least a 20K lb strap with loops, not hooks. Happy hunting!

Hey, I meant leopard PRINT, not leopard skin!! Ya'll know a lot of cool lifted 4x4 trucks are painted some extreme colors, with the colored shock boots etc. and I would think those people would like accessories that are cool colored also! So don't be picking (I am not sensitive but could develop a complex)

Not picking... You could make a sleeve for your strap out of your favorite material.. Just keep it loose for the strap to expand and contract.

BTW my cuffs are imataion fur lined...;eeky;
