Best way to tie down a minitruck???

When i tow my buddies trucks i lay the bed matt out of my truck on the trailer, then lay the truckout on the mat. Works great.

Thanks Mike I think im going to just lay it out and strap it down cause really would hate for the block to slide out and dent my rocker !!!!!! I would be pissed also!!!

Or just drive the truck. Unless you got snow, salt or sand on the roads

guy i know layed it out on sand bags one behind the front wheel and one infront of the back wheel on each side and then used the wratchet wheel straps to lock it down.

i've actually seen people lay the truck out on sand bags or wood. I've also seen people trailer with the truck aired up. I really don't know what way is better.

we lay my buddies stock floored explorer on 4x4s cuz if u dont u cant getunder it to strap it. as for mine, i just wrap 1 like this /\ around the axle and have one goin forward. works like a charm

^Hell yeah, I use one log chain with a hook and hope it don't bounce loose! Every piss break I'll shake the rearend back&forth until it's back in place....

Oh yeah and I lay it out to the frame... helps to make it one piece with the trailer like someone said eariler...

i suggest duct tape

no really though ive only used 4 rachet straps 2 in the front and 2 in the back in a x pattern ya know left to right right to left etc. and i leave it up but thats cause my hydros dont leak at all if your ride settles you might have to lay it out
