Neat trick on the wrap around hook for tie downs. If those straps are dedicated just for that ATV like I do I cut the excess off and only left two feet and burnt the ends so no fraying
I my down exactly this way. I carried my 22 ZF800t in my toy hauler to Moab on April 14th. Just got back to Albuquerque today. I had no issues with "crawl". And believe me, it got some very road tests. Include off road. As a side note, the machine did everything I asked it to do. Had a blast.
I use to the same. I notice that you had 4 anchors in front. what you could do is go thru the rim of the tire to attach the wheel instead. That will allow the machine to use her own suspension on rough road. You could do the same at the back if you can pull the tire straight backward. I suggest you try it. Or you could wait to see me in person on my next visit. Thanks for your video.
So funny to see a atv in a pickup box with 6 or more ratchet straps hooked on the racks, and dune up as tight as thay will go. I have a diy atv deck with flip up side rails. I lock the brake, hook titanium chain on the atv receiver with 2 to 3 inches of slack to allow the supention to flex, and same to the front. 16 years, thousands of bush and highway miles. Had a couple of panic stops to, and never moves an inch
I tie mine somewhat similar to how you do it also. They make short anchor straps to go around frame rails with loops on both ends and that's what I use when needed. The excess length I roll up and zip tie then use a spring clamp to secure it so the wind isn't whipping it around. Dry lube or silicone spray on the ratchet mechanisms keep them working freely. I know many think the tire anchors are the only way to go but I have never broke a strap or had one come loose in all my many years and miles of travel so I'm not changing now. If it ain't broke it don't need fixing lol.....
I do something similar. I actually tie a small loop about 2-3 feet back from the hook on the long strap. Then you just put the strap around the bar or frame on the bike and hook the loop. Secure the other end to your truck/trailer and crank 'er down.
Thats the way I do it too. Also have dedicated tie down straps I keep in my pickup in a bag. That way I can cut the straps to a length that avoids the flapping long end.
Not suggesting this is okay but I have left my ATVs in park during 12 years of recreational towing (about 6 trips per year, distance 60 to 500 miles round trip) and my ATVs are just fine. Same ATVs for 12 years. I will now put them in neutral.
I strap mine down through the wheels that way the ATV suspension floats with the trailer. I leave mine in neutral and parking brake off. The excessive strap just roll it up in a loose loop about 6 inches in diameter then reach through the middle and pull the strap through and loop it around over top and pull tight. Bleepinjeep has a video that show you how to do it. Best way to get rid of excessive strap without any extra tie straps or bungee cords or whatever
Which mirrors are you using and where did you get them? I tried putting mine on and they don't seem to fit the build in screw mount on the break fluid apparatus. Tried a few times and it just started shaving metal. Pretty sure mine are 8mm. Any recommendations for mirror install?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER yes you did. Should never be on frame. Over tire is best or over a-arm secondly . Suspension should never be compressed by straps. Also, no need for neutral, strapped properly, it won't hurt transmission. Not to mention, it would never hurt the transmission anyway.

Couple years later and I have to tell you this is a fantastic tutorial, have used it so many times! Thank you! Cheers from the West
Great to hear and thanks 😊

Thanks for the handy techniques like the "wrap the hook three times" and the "easy slide through ratchet in an L shape"!
Happy to help!
Thank you i thought that was a great ideas thank you learn something new today
You are so welcome!

Hi Bo, good to hear the machine worked great!
Special thanks for heads up on "leave in neutral" - I would have definitely screwed that up!
You're welcome 😊

Thanks for your video.
Sounds good will try it. Thanks Mario!!
Love it. Gonna be transporting these bad boys around highways all winter and into summers.
Very good i learned some new this is a great info thx!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m glad I learned this!… now I just need an ATV and a trailer to haul it 😭

Hi, I like the way that you wrap the strap around the hooks. I'll start using your method. Thanks 😊
Thanks yes it helps not scratch the frame.

Yes it's time to lube my ratchet straps. Keep doing it your way if it works. No problems here either.

thanks frank ,,, i did this always on my boss 302
You did it all right. Also a lot of people always put the vehicle in gear, but I also heard that having it in neutral is best.
Thanks ya like I said it has been working for me.
Makes good sense to me. I like it. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
That's pretty neat roll and I'm gonna have to try that we're going to mind and meadows Saturday
Where is that place?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER- Its about 30 minutes or so north of Pittsburgh. Pa.
Thanks for tie down time! It'll definitely help on next run.

Hey white Night! Thanks for the tips. Through the wheels sounds good!
Yes I have seem this before, its all over the internet, google and theres 100s of views on it on you tube.
Awesome info! Thank you Sir!

Here in Canada we get many options that are different from the US. Because they are fitted to be street legal. They are cfmoto mirrors.
Never tie the frame down. Just tie the wheels down so that the suspension can float. But it's your rig.
Exellent
Thanks Jacques!
Cool learn something new 👍
Thanks for watching
Mine and meadows is in Pennsylvania you drive-in a mine 3 miles underground with your UTVs it's a guided tour to ATV park
That sounds like a treat!
Do you have the address Greg
You did your straps wrong
No I didn't

@@jasonmorehouse3756 you have e no clue what you're talking about. I get a kick out of you know it alls
It aint rocket science.
No but some people are new to this and it helps them out.
No one ask for your opinion
