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've been doing the same for 15 yrs now. Basic tow-eye hooks on the rear shock bolts, and thru the a-arms up front. I've never criss-crossed and cannot envision any benefit with my trailer/car rig. However due to brake ducts I want to change to some other front tie-down method to speed-up loading/unloading. I already have to remove the spoiler.
