Do you guys leave your shackles on all the time? Do you worry about the pin backing out? |

You’ll more likely have trouble taking them off or if you live in a sketchy area, people stealing than. I have two on the front bumper, they are yet to come lose on their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No need to run with them on all the time unless your just going for the Mall Crawler look. Get yourself a bag to keep all your recovery gear in. I’ve seen a lot of people use these Rothco G.I. Type Mechanics Tool Bag With Brass Zipper, Olive Drab https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BFJE8S/re ... 4Ab19CMVE6 If you want to go nuts you can get one of these. I will say, the quality between the two us night and day. https://www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com/O ... 21rb-l.htm |

I’m definitely going for the mall crawler look so I leave them on with cut tubing to keep them from rattling and zip ties through the pins to keep them from backing out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm secure enough in my manhood that I'll admit; I like the mall crawler look. Besides it's only Mall Crawler if you can't back it up! That said, I've got the pins jammed in so tight that I normally use a second shackle in the fixed shackle instead of messing with them. D'oh

 It's been like that for years now. I hardly use a metal shackle since I got a couple of synthetic ones from Dragline. |
