Talking High performace ladder bars

Me and confederat_mudder came up with a awsome idea to recycle some stuff we had laying around.

we figured it would have held up pretty good, but we couldn't keep the walmart tow strap tight. (broke that strap trrying to pull the bko out)

Nahh, I ran that setup on an 84 for 300 years. Had to replace the rubber "bushings" on either end about once a year.
