I put the replacement traction belt locks on my '03 Lone Wolf sit and climb and it's like having a new stand!! As much as I love these stands, that was the one thing that bothered me, those locks were a bitch sometimes, especially when it was real cold out.[:@] Now they're real easy to open and close. I also got the XL traction belts and they make it so Ihave more options for stand placement.

agree 100% - best thing i did last year was to make that same upgrade.
