Well Garrett replaced my ATP with a brand new one, and I don't want to ever send it back again. I made a bumper out of a piece of a bungee cord and a zip tie. Melted holes through the rubber and fastened it with a zip tie. The zip tie was turned inside out so it did not stick out...

Now no matter how I lay my ATP down, or if it tips over, the impact will be helped by the rubber. I hunt around a lot of sidewalks, and it is easier to set it on the pavement because you don't have to worry about dog stuff.. Now no more scratches either...

Nice Mod:

What happened to your old A. T. P.

And why did they send you a NEW Vs fixing the other one.

How old was it?

Do you think the NEW one is any Quicker, Faster. Smarter, Stronger, Better?
 
Bungee cord?

Hey Ice --

Very nice looking mod, and a great idea. But what kind of bungee cord is that? Guess I'm a real novice on bungee cords. When I hear or think about bungee cords, they all look like the one below. So where do you get one like that? What do they typically run pricewise?
Thx
Rich

Home Depot has them for around $2.98.. I'm sure they're priced similar elsewhere as well
