Is the sway lok under warranty? Will they replace or are you out of luck?
Arizona Strip/North Rim - very pic heavy!

The Swayloc was waaaaay out of warranty. And an older, inferior design to the one ORO sells now. I knew that replacement parts weren't going to be available, because I knew the design had changed substantially a few years ago. Wasn't at all sure what ORO would be willing to do. Didn't get a chance to call them until yesterday. Talked to Steve, the owner, and he offered me a whole new Swayloc, except for the links (the only parts of mine that are still the same), for $300.
I thought that was fair enough. Considering a new one is about $650, and the one that broke was about five years old and well used.
So, I should have a shiny new one (except for the links) to install this weekend, hopefully.

They were all shot in RAW, so they all have PP done on them.

Great pics! I love that area.
Not to be an ass or anything, but 21 years ago I thought it was fun to trundle rocks, assuming "nobody could possibly be down there". Tragically, my actions killed another human being, a 32 year old father of two. I went to jail for that, and payed immensely in mental anguish.
I'd politely suggest that you reconsider the trundling activities. While I admit it is fun, I'll never do it again, and every time I see a rock rolling down a mountainside, those horrible memories from 21 years ago come rushing back.

That's horrible! Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll remember that next time I'm tempted to roll rocks.
Gotcha, that's quite a picture! I don't have a Land Cruiser anymore...
I'm working on a truck build, but it's slow going as the motorcycle is getting most of my attention these days.
I was also going to share a rock story.. But because of legal issues...
In one of my court hearings against the BLM and the federal court house there was a few folks who had been in court hearings for over a year trying to resolve a hefty ticket they received for rolling a rock down the hill on BLM property. They were ticketed for destruction of government property. The process they were in was trying to obtain a permit to legally be allowed to move the rock back into place in order to reconcile the original action.. It was a nightmare for them, because the BLM wanted to make a stink..
