> When I trailer-tow I use 4 3500# ratchet straps I got at Tractor Supply Co
and hook assemblies I bought from awdirect.com. (TJ's use T-hooks.) Cross
the fronts (the gas tank prevents crossing the rears on the TJ) and jam them
down until there's almost no suspension movement. And CHECK THEM AT EVERY
STOP. Ratchet straps can and will come loose. My tow vehicle is an F250
Superduty with the V10 gas engine, so I stop for gas pretty often. :-)>

Thanks Matt. Per a local towing outfit's advice I got some chains with hooks
and adapted them to the 2" ratchet straps. I tied it down using the slotted
transport holes in the frame front & rear. It towed much better this way, no
suspension movement at all. Seemed really secure and the straps didn;t
loosen much at all. Problem was the straps were 27' loong (only ones I could
find) so I had to cut most of the excess off & toss it. Seemed like a waste,
but what the Hell.

I'm towing with a new F350 6.0 Power Stroke, which really handles the load
well, even on our mountain grades. Towing puts a pretty good dent in the
mileage, however.
