Just curious..how does everybody tie their rig down when the trailer it very far????
I have 2 brackets bolted to the floor of my trailer...(rig is backed on) and I run a short chain from that bracket, to the safety chain holes (by the rig's receiver hitch)...1 on each side, and bind it down with a cahin binder.........then on the back of the trailer (front of rig), I run a chain from the stke pocket on each side, thru the hook on my winch line, and then bind it down.............
on the front, my binder has a loop, and I loop the chain over the handle and padlock it, on the rear I do the same.........
What about Security ???
My trailer has a front(side ramp) and rear ramp......I made some short cables from 14" nylon coated aircraft cable, which is fixed around the trlr, and goes thru the expanded metal on the ramps and padlocked..........then I have 2 other larger pieces of ac cable which I run around the trlr rail, and then thru the frame area of the rig and padlock it!!!
It won't stop a thief.......but it'll dang sure slow em down!!!!!!!!!
several years ago, some of our local forresters were out of town, cruising some timber.they had their wheelers in the back of their pick-ups, and had them secured with Louisiana Guard Dog rigs.came out of the Motel one morning, and both wheelers were gone!!!!! Seems the theives had a cutting torch :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
