From what I heard back from Travis, the design has NOT been changed. Seems like there should be a much better design option available there.

Might be a good idea for Travis to respond to this concern of a potential buyers.From what I heard back from Travis, the design has NOT been changed. Seems like there should be a much better design option available there.
I’m not sure why they wouldn’t just swap that cylinder for a cylinder with a solid end sleeve. It would save the trouble of having to make the spacer and the added hassle of assembling with o rings as well.
O-Rings and a rotating collar with a grease nippleI reached out to Travis via email about this (who was great to work with during the decision making process, by the way). He wrote that the grease will get to where it needs to get, or something like that. As it is, the grease just makes a mess between the pipe section and the cylinder clevis.
I was and am thinking the same thing.If something is gonna wear, it'll be the bolt, which is very easy to replace

The grapple works really well for me. I am not worried about it. As I said earlier, I will live with it and deal with it...if it ever needs dealt with in my lifetime.

IMO, the design is simply “I couldn’t hold my beer while doing this” and “let’s see if we can break it”Just my opinion, of course. I don't know what design compromises had to be made for the designers to choose this particular design.
