Nice method. I use tire basket straps, with E track. Solid, doesn't move a bit. I like your method as well, looks efficient and safe
-
Ur gonna cut and or fray the strap going thru rim. Ask me i know. You need to put lasso on front tires pulling slightly foward AND straps on back tires pulling slightly backward. Simple Nd effective
-
Need the straps pulling forward and backwards
-
Excellent Video - very thorough! Uses logic and common sense
-
This IS the way to do it for sure. But then some of us have those 'clunky' four wheelers with the steel wheels with no holes to run the strap through the rim...
-
You can do the same thing with the lasso over the tire but hook the hook slightly forward and backward. I haul two jeeps on a 30’ trailer with about 3 inches between them and have never had them touch. Don’t have straps crossing/rubbing. Doing it this way gives you better leverage over the top of the tire than going through the wheel. Both work but I don’t have to undo the lasso. Just loosen and flip it off the tire. Goes in the bag that way and right back on when it’s time to go.
-
Very well demonstrated. I will be doing it this way.

I strap my ATV down through the wheels just like you are showing. You should leave it in neutral when towing. If you look in your owners manual it will tell you not to tow machine in park.

Yep. If you strap to a point on the tire either above the axle bearing center point or below, it can move. Best way is to find the tire place to anchor to that is where the strap is pointing from the trailer anchor point to the center of the wheel bearing point. That way it is the shortest pull and cannot roll up or down. Great video. Like your machines.

Great video. i agree that's the better way to use them instead of 10 & 2. i wouldn't agree on loading trailer, but the title is "using lasso straps the right way". not sure why every1 else is complaining about it. lol
-
Great Video, Very helpful--thanks for posting!
-
Y’all do it just like I do. SXS never moves at all. Happy wheeling to Ya.

This through the rim method would not work well for wheels that are encrusted with ice and mud. I think the manufacturers recommended 10 and 2 method would work much better if the ratchets were not pointed straight down but rather a little forward of center on the front tires and a little back of center on the rear tires.
-
The lasso straps I have say to have the tie downs tied 2-6” in front of the fronts or 2-6” behind the rears. And mine can’t go through the rims.
-
Looks legit..... in canada we don't strap nothing cause we expert
-
Sharp edges on the rims could saw into the strap and cause failure. I wouldn't run them through the rim.
-
That really is the best way. I haul dang near every thing that way on rubber
-
I mounted D hooks along the centre line of the trailer and use my winch front and back to anchor the unit down and then strap side to side. I do this in Neutral and then pop it in gear and put on the emergency brake on my Defender. I like those straps…..pricey……I use similar, but they are an X pattern to the undercarriage.
-
The straps should go over the tires at 10 and 2 and pull away from or towards each other. Also, I would bet that trailer wiggles while towing with all the weight to the rear.
-
I just put d rings in the front and rear of each tire then put a ratchet strap over the centre of the tire hooked to both drings then tighten it down . I’ve never had a problem doing it that way
