Tie Down Techniques

Chris DeGidio · 09-01-2009, 07:59 PM

I use a pair of tiedown brackets from a Ford Taurus,and I bolted them to the subframe area on the rear of my car and also at the front bumper brackets.I use surplus military aircraft tiedowns with chain from the car to the trailer.The Ford brackets have an area that takes a chain hook,and they are real strong.

We wrap the tie down strap in between the inner ends of the lower control arm. In the rear we go around the rear axle outward of the center section. We also criss cross the rachet straps to equalize the load.
