I am like you and refuse to break the bank for my sppon chuckers.My ex wife got me certified pro for my b-day last year.This last spring the top half flew out of the truck.I decided this year to go to the seatle sportsmen show to say Hi to the zog and jim kerr.On a whim I stopped by the lami booth and told them my story.He laughed and promised to replace the top for the cost of the shipping.
