In response to getting a hole in it, I dunno about that. It is extremely thick, and if you had a doubt about sharp edge protection, there are those wonderful things in your truck that are rubber and carpet, I think they are called floor mats? Those could be used for protection if you deemed it required. I love mine, and will not be carrying a hi-lift jack, this way I can help others, even if they aren't driving a hi-lift friendly vehicle. I don't plan on building a fence anytime soon with my jack, and as for winching out, with an airbag, you just lift the truck and put something underneath, problem solved.

But as always, to each his own.

(At the meet, lots of people had farm jacks, I wwas the only one with an airbag, and half of them had never even seen one or heard of one, and you know how I like to roll, that alone made it worth it, them scratching their heads in doubt after trying to yank free a Rodeo, and less than 2 min later, I had him out and was putting my toy away
