im tryin to see the best way to strap it down
i have 2 20' ratcheting straps

do you like, "wrap" the tire with it, or just go around the trailing arm or somethin?

how bout the front?

i dont' have tow hooks, and the chalon sits real low.. are the A arms and trailing arms my best option?

that is a great little trailer for a narrow bodied 914.

it was custom built by an old GGR member years ago...but it works great, doesn't take up a lot of space and pulls very nicely.

Well, in the rear you can go through the wheels and same in the front. I can't do it another way because my spoiler is too low to go on the A-arms. In one spoke and out another and then around to the tiedown.

I love that trailer. For just that reason, it's light. It doesn't take up a lot of room and is light enough to move around by hand. The electric winch is a bonus. The only thing is that it is so light sometimes I forget the trailer is attached and drive too fast.

is it dumb to go through the rim on one side all the way across to the opposite rim and secure on the opposite side from which it started? since i only have 2 straps, im thinking one in front, one in rear.

and im starting to think 20' might be excessive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but it's the only ratcheting ones they had... i think i may pick up one of those electric winches too

yah 20 footers are a pain, but just roll up the excess and zip tie it.

buying 2 more straps is gonna be wy cheaper than fixing your teener and tow rig if some thing goes wrong.

my buddy last fall had his jeep land in the bed of his truck [yes really i'll post the pictuers later] from his trailer and what every one would assume to be good tie down practice.

I use 4 tie-downs.

I use chains (2) in front (to eyelets bolted into the a-arm mount).

I use ratchet straps (2) in the rear to eyelets welded into the rear cross-member where the trans mounts.

I used to anchor the car using the trailing arm shock bolts, but found that I would put undue stress on the rear suspension by doing so.

I tie the body down instead of the suspension.

Good luck.

One strap through each wheel. Unfortunately I had one strap too tight and the little movement that the car did make, shred the strap halh way through. Now I need a new strap. Next trip will have a pad behind the strap.

I think they were 20 foot strapswhen I bought them, but I cut 'em.
