Camlock harnesses

ftoy1 · Jan 7, 2014

Thought I would share a deal I found with some of my crawling buddies out there. Go to amazon.com and type in 6 point Camlock harness and you will see a set of 2 harnesses for 99.98. I just received mine and they look great. Just thought I would share the savings. :woot:

Never been a fan of the camlock style for offroad use, once they get a little dirt/grit in them they become hard to open and more of a safety hazard in the event of a flipped rig on fire. Just my opinion but I have had to cut a harness to get someone out before. :****:

I have been running them for 5 years. Never had a problem with mine. But I do keep them lubricated. I do carry a Benchmade seatbeal tool to cut my way out if needed. It is on the tail of my shoulder harnesses, so i is always in my lap.

You rode all day at hpo and your buggy didn't even get a spec of mud on it. Everybody else had to spend 3-4 hours with a pressure washer.... :flipoff1:

Why spin if you are making forward progress :flipoff1:

This will be my first set so we will see what kind of problems I run into with them.

I've had my camlocks for years now and they have never given me any problems at all.

They get dirty and don't work, which is why I always recommend the Latch and link style over the Cam lock.

I have always run camlock. My passenger side do have to be cleaned pretty regular. If you will latch the belts while you are riding without a passenger it isn't a bad problem.
