I've seen three break, but whether the fault lies with Nitto or the user is up in the air.
I've broken an R-14 rack, but it was overloaded and I was running through some really nasty stuff. I've never seen a Mark's rack break. I've seen two of 32-F break where it goes through the bridge of the work. btw safety tethers are always a good idea on stuff that's moving :) On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 7:21 AM, Ron Mc <bulldog...@gmail.com> wrote: > No offense, but I think the title of this thread is misleading - I've > never heard of a Nitto rack failure. > > > On Thursday, July 2, 2015 at 7:34:44 AM UTC-5, Garth wrote: >> >> >> >> Just disregard the "rating" . . . . as noted . . . . if anything it >> can be more stable with the same strength with 5 mount points . >> >> >> As expected, my rack has been perfect.
