Found out the hard way that recovery straps have an expiration date

I was pulling a buddy's Jeep out of a ditch last weekend near Ft Collins and my 3 year old tow strap snapped clean in half. Lucky nobody got hurt but it scared the crap out of me. How often do you guys replace your recovery gear?

Whoa, I heard UV rays actually break down the nylon over time, wild.

Guess the sun's got a grudge against our gear.
