Tailgate Cables

Where do you get a set of replacement cables for the tailgate?

I noticed today while loading some mulch that the cable on the driverside has stretched and isn't holding up the tailgate. I'm sure it has something to do with pulling my 680lb Sportsman in the bed all the time. :-[

I figured that after 5 years of ATV's loaded over the tailgate that it's time for a new set of cables.

Re:Tailgate Cables

My dealers wanted $15 a strap. I broke mine a long time (don't go over big bumps at high speeds with the tailgate down ). I want to get a set of metal straps instead of the cables. Kind of like the old chevy's used to come with.
