    Smittybuilt Element Ramps

    Those are a very blatant copy of the original Maxtrax product. IMHO - Buyer beware of a 1/2 priced copy.

    Check your sportsmobile wiring!

    I would recommend that if you have an issue with a product that you contact the manufacturer directly. It is not reasonable to expect your posting on the Internet to be found by the manufacturer nor is it a proper place to address an issue if you are genuinely concerned about it. At this point...
