I've been happy with it . It isn't crazy-strong, and I'd like to add a 3rd bracket as I can see where over time it might shift.
I've opened it in wind of about 10mph (less than 15, for sure) and it did just fine. I plan to replace the guylines, using something more visible (the bright...

I noticed this after drilling the holes.
Taking a break now and will solutioneer something on...
It still works as of June 2021 (6 months later).
I've been debating undoing it as I got the tpms rebuilt when I got new tires in ~feb..... but I don't really feel like tpms on/off is useful to me. If it gave me the actual psi of each tire, I'd be much more interested.
