I wish I had a camera for a pic of mine.
I have the Korker model (not sure which one) that has the hard cups at front and back with straps with one Fastex buckle.
I wore the original studs out in about about 4 steps from my truck, and within a year had to replace them. When I tried to replace them last year, about half of the studs snapped off. On T. Lapinski's advice (before DZ's article), I drilled them out on the big press, P.I.T.A. He told me to go with 1 inch to 2 inch bolts. So I put in 1 1/2 inch 1 quarter inch bolts with lock washers. The traction of these things is unparalleled. When I showed him them, it seems I did a little over kill cause I apparently was supposed to use similar sized as fishaholic used. Oh well. I have walked way too many miles in all types of terrain with them. I have never had a problem with the straps coming off or loosening either.
Only draw back is they weigh about 10 pounds a piece. Keeps me anchored to the rocks a little better.
