Straptek broke
Hi I just went to tighten the strap on the strapteks and one of the nuts that you use to tighten the strap broke right where the pin goes through. It's the 1 1/8 nut. First time installing them. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement?

Have you tried to contact Lippert? That would be my suggestion, and tell them you need it yesterday!

Thanks, I did . They said I have to take a picture and send them that . They didn't know what a straptek was at first but they were really nice and wanted to help. Going camping Friday so we'll see.

If push comes to shove, and the part doesn't arrive by Friday, you could maybe find a piece of metal flat stock at Lowe's or Home Depot that would fit into the "slot" and use it to tension the spring bars until the replacement piece arrives....just a thought to keep from missing a camping trip.

First, to the OP, hopefully Lippert will come through and get your problem resolved....
Now, as a totally unrelated comment, but something to consider.... This is why I simply don't trust Goodyear's new ST tire, the Endurance.... Not until it's been on the market for a while.....
Way back when, we had a drug sales rep stop by the office and offer everyone who would prescribe their new drug a bunch of free stuff.... The "old guy in the office" (no not me at that time) urged all of us "noobies" to refuse the offer... We all did, and about 6 months later the drug was recalled and a class action suit was started against everyone who had been prescribing the drug. None of us were involved in the lawsuit and all our patients were not subjected to the problems...
Moral of the story: Let someone else do the testing. There'll be enough time to still benefit AFTER all the kinks are ironed out......
Ok, back to "current events".....

Well it looks like it's not available separately and to replace it I'd have to pay $199.99 for another set. Sooooooo....

Is there no warranty remaining on them? And you are saying that they don't sell replacement parts?

If you break anything there are no replacement parts. There was a guy on here awhile ago that wouldn't buy them because if you break the strap there's no replacement. Buyer beware

Keep in mind I never got a chance to use these. It broke the first time using them. I did buy them on ebay from a lippert distributer and I'll deal with them next.

Since you posted about yours breaking, I think I'm going to buy a 3/4" machine bolt (should have an 1 1/8" head for a socket) and cut it down to fit in the winch shaft and carry in the trailer for a spare....just in case.

Holy cow I cannot believe it! I, like xrated, just want to say thank you in the biggest way. I just ordered them both. Its a lot easier than having to fight my way trying to get them replaced or made. Thank you very much still go once. That's one thing about campers, Its people helping people. Thanks.

You can move the 1 1/8" hex head from one side to the other if you remove/replace the pins.
