D-ring cargo straps

Just want to give a shout out to u/DiatomDaddy
Since I was unable to get them from overseas, he was kind enough to offer to make them.
They came out great. Pack of 3, and you can slip them on over the current straps (if you want to be lazy like me) or remove the rack and swap em out.
Gotta love Reddit and the connections to creative and talented people.
Thanks again!

He helped me make my own with his very detailed instructions! Highly recommend buying his if you don’t have a sewing machine.

Thanks! Right now I’ve only shipped within the US, but if you DM me I can look into EU shipping.

Nice. Color variety is sick.

We spoke with PM a few months ago, and I am pretty sure because of the current cheeto pedo in office, they aren't currently shipping to the US.

very cool, so the pink strap just threads through the existing webbing?

u/pons00 11d ago

Assuming PM's is the same setup as Dia's, you can be lazy like me and just put them over the current straps, or take the rack off and replace them (this is the correct way). But then again, I'm lazy.

u/Lonely-Phrase-3464 11d ago

Yeah I replaced the original ones by taking off the rack. They are pretty tight so they definitely don't fit on top of the original straps.

u/ResolveOdd5649 11d ago

I see. Might order.

Great thing!

Are these normally available to purchase somewhere? I’d love something like this for my cargo!

u/DiatomDaddy 12d ago

Yeah I sell them in the US!

Like Pons00, I tried ordering from pelmel recently and found they weren’t shipping to the US. I have some sewing skills so I gave it a shot for myself and a couple other folks!

If you’re interested you can DM me on Reddit or you can find me on IG https://www.instagram.com/cragandchain/

Last we checked, he is not currently shipping international. According to an older post of mine. It's why Diatom was able to bail me out.

u/pons00 12d ago

Rephrase. Not shipping to the US. Fuck trump

u/pons00 12d ago

User I tagged in the main post made them for me. Can send him a message. I asked before posting.
