I was talking with someone about ways to secure a car for transport. I usually strap through the wheels with 3" wide nylon straps when securing a car to the trailer. I usually don't criss-cross the straps.
What do you do? What have you seen that you felt was wrong or unsafe? What about damages to cars from strapping? Why type and size of straps do you use? Got pictures? Share your strapping thoughts and experiences... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

I use the tie down hooks on the shock bolts on the rear. On the front I plan on going with wheel bonnets in the near future but for now I go through the A Arms on the 935 suspension. I'll take a photo after I get it loaded on the trailer for the weekend.
