ZL1 Addons strap points installation on 2015 Dodge Challenger

Any info on that catch can setup? I dont see any videos on your page about it.

I did not do an installation video about the JLT oil separator ("catch can"). Said oil separator comes with adequate installation instructions. Furthermore, absent the instructions, it was intuitively obvious how to do the installation (hence no initial confusion on my part, and no burning need to instruct others on how to do it). Do a search on "JLT catch can Hellcat", and you will find the current version of the oil separator I installed about 8 years ago. The supplied rubber lines did eventually collapse at about 6 years of age (sucking previously diverted liquid oil into the intake). I would recommend checking the integrity of the lines periodically, and replacing them BEFORE they get old and tired.

Are they safe for the frame when towing and have you ever used it for towing as of late?

Thanks for your comment. First, the requisite disclaimer: I do not work for, nor do I speak officially for ZL1 Addons. I am just a shmoe who purchased their product at retail, and did a video about installing that product. I have not yet had a need for using these strap points for strapping down my car on a trailer or tow truck. I did, however, throw a cable winch on one of them, "strapping" it down to my four-post lift. The piece held up well to this static test, and I would have no qualms about using them for their intended purpose. I would think that, absent barrel rolling the trailer, spreading the weight of the car against four of these strap points would damage neither the strap points themselves, nor the parts of the car to which they are affixed. My experience with car suspensions would lead me to believe that the strap points (and NOT the parts of the car to which they were affixed) would fail first, were they used for some UN-intended purpose. For example, were just a single one used as an emergency winch-out point to retrieve the car from an unintended off-road excursion, I personally believe it would either work, or simply damage the strap point. This would be a least-worst choice, if you look at the underside of a modern Challenger, and consider where you would otherwise attach a winch hook. After making this video, I have since installed* ZL1 Addons' rear tow hook product, and will someday install their front tow hook, so I won't likely find myself needing to use these strap points for any UN-intended purposes. (* You would have been able to view a video of that rear tow hook installation job on this very channel, had the camera been in the correct mode as I did the main portion of that job. arrrgh.)
