I don't think they have delivered any yet. They are still working on making the first batch and they are still working through some of the design process at the same time.

I like it a lot, but the ratchet strap is crap IMO.

So far I like the looks of this set-up the best. Even with all the options you still come in several hundred $$ cheaper than the comparables. Leaves $ for other stuff. The Air Force doesn't pay me enough to throw away money.

Looks good + functional + priced right =

Not so sure about the alternating openings. At least with everyone else (that doesn't have as stop open), you could just park with the passenger side downhill and everything stays open. With this, one of them is always going to try to cut you in half if you aren't facing uphill only.

I like the tube style, but as with others, the ratchet strap doesn't seem very secure. Not in the "going to fall off" sense, but in the "I'm going to steal this here tire" sense.

I think it looks like an incomplete cheap piece of shit.
