Product Description

Fits:

Front Runner roof rack systems

Secure your cargo and gear with the more compact Stratchit Shorties. Stratchit Shorties are the ultimate efficient tie-downs with stretchy ratcheting performance in a lightweight, durable strap that is 507mm / 20" shorter than the regular Stratchit. Keep your rack clean and organized with the cinching hook and loop strap that neatly stows away excess strap length. Replace all of your cumbersome ratchet straps and stop wrestling with fixed length bungee cords. Stratchit Shorties have all the benefits of a compact ratchet strap and bungee cord combined

• Cinch down loads simply and effectively so you don't have to worry about gear rattling loose on bumpy roads.
• Stratchit Shorties absorb tension like a stretchy ratchet strap.
• Stratchit Shorties are adjustable from 470mm / 18.5" in length to 1017mm / 40" in length.
• Quick and efficient. Simply secure the ends and hand tighten the strap.
• Fastens to, and around, just about anything.
• Perfect for Front Runner Racks and accessories, but work with all roof rack systems.

Many uses!

WARNINGS:
Please read and follow all these warnings carefully -- failure to do so could result in cargo damage and could cause injury.

Do not over tighten. Use only hand leverage.

Never stand in the direct path of the Stratchit Shortie when tensioning to prevent the risk of injury should the strap become detached.

Loads settle. Check Stratchit Shortie after first 10 miles of driving and each 50 miles thereafter.

User to evaluate working load and requirements. DO NOT use to support human weight under any circumstance.

Check the Stratchit Shortie regularly for signs of deterioration or damage.

To ensure longevity, please remove the Stratchit Shorties from the sun and weather elements when not in use.

Make sure that the points of attachment to the vehicle or trailer are of sufficient strength to withstand the maximum loading that will be produced during use.

Take additional care if securing large objects that may be subject to aerodynamic lifting forces caused by bumps. Always use the appropriate number of straps and drive at reduced speeds to minimize the effects of these forces

Manufacturer - Front Runner

Travel. Dream. Design. Build. Test. Evolve. Repeat.

Legend has it that Front Runner was conceived between a 1988 Land Cruiser 70 and a 1992 Mercedes G-Wagen in Botswana, around a campfire, near a majestic Baobab, amongst elephant tracks, by a handful of friends from South Africa with backgrounds in engineering, design, manufacturing and off-road racing. After suffering through numerous equipment failures on their expeditions around the world, they decided to take their shared passion for vehicle based adventure travel and dream up new, smart gear and build it stronger than… well, as they put it, “stronger than the elephants at the watering hole 1 klick over.”

And just like that, before the moon gave way to the sun, we were born.

With the gruelling African bush as a testing ground, we at Front Runner focused on a tough love approach to developing products. With both feet facing the future and little sentimentally for mediocre ideas of the past – common approaches to off-road vehicle product design were quickly jettisoned in favor of innovation, new materials, and superior manufacturing practices.

Today our products have a well deserved reputation (if we don’t say so ourselves) for quality, intelligent design, and durability. Our manufacturing facility just outside of Johannesburg, South Africa features in house laser cutting, bending and powder coating. Our CAD designed products by a team of engineers and built by skilled craftsman in our ISO-9001 : 2015 Certified factory.

Our roof racks, water tanks, tents, awnings, drawer systems and camping accessories are enjoyed, used and abused around the world by casual campers, the U.N., overlanders, NGOs, outdoor enthusiasts and extreme athletes.

That's our origin story. Share it with your friends and family. Around a campfire. And for full effect, make sure you’re sitting in our chairs, by our tents, with our roof racks on your vehicles. Just sayin’.
