I see a lot of posts about how people are tying down their sxs's. This has worked well for me so I thought I would post a few pictures being as im loaded up and about to go ride. Hope this helps some of you!

I would not consider that safe....to each their own...

I would secure mine that way if I hauled the same machines often. I have a few buddies that pay for gas for me to haul them with me.

Not very safe as is but could be improved. Wood crack, rots, etc. That machine will bounce and move a lot. That could pull those bolts right out of that board. I would put a piece of flat metal across my trailer and apply tie down to that. Also in Calif you have to tie down all 4 corners to be legal.

I use a regular ratchet strap. One over the front tires and one over the rears. It lets the suspension work and holds the ranger in place on the trailer. Pull back on the front and forward on the rear. No problems.

I've got a 6.5x12 trailer and always use a ratchet strap going to each corner. 2 up front on the front bumper and two out back on the hitch where the safety chains would go. No problems yet.

If you ratchet it down tight it is not going any where.Same way you tie down car's,tractor,and anything big.

I wonder why car haulers always tie down the axles so the suspension works when hauling vehicles.

All i know is when i haul anything behind my truck i am going to tie it down tight and nothing is going to move at all.....

Whatever works as long as you arrive safely at your destination.
