It looks like the same product. Same concept.
It probably is the same company just making it look different so they could sell more.

the safest sex is abstinence... in other words, if your worried bout your truck at the movie theatre dont take it. jk man but yes it was suggested early about adding your value to you insurance, this is a great idea, my dad did this for the wrangler he helped me build when i was 16, 350 7" long arm kit 33s, bought the jeep myself and had a TON of money from summer jobs so i bought all these mods. well the jeep got stolen when i was about 17 so yes i had it for about a whole year but i since i had told them i spent about $4000 in extras they reimbursed me this money as well as the insurance money for the jeep... haha which i must say costed me like $3500 so my mods were worth more than the truck (im sure none of YOU guys know what thats like ) in all i think i got about $8500 for the jeep

They had been working in the building several days putting in hand rails and other stuff. I watched as the campus 5 0 put a boot on the truck on the drivers front. Now like I said they were working on the building so they were parked in the grass so the welding leads would reach into the building but the jackass parking ticket guys obviously didnt care. Anyway the guys came out for lunch walked around the truck and I saw the guy make a face and a few curse words. He then walked to the rear of the truck and pulled out about 6 ft of cutting lead. He hit the striker and lit the torch, he walked to the front of the truck and cut the boot off. Kicked it away with this foot calmly killed the torch rolled it back up hopped in his truck and left to a standing ovation from everyone around! I always hated campus cops!
