I've decided to stop flat towing my TJ behind my motor home and get a
trailer to take it along. I've seen so many ways of doing this I'm asking
the group the best way. From previous posts I understand that strapping
down the frame is desired. I'd like to use ratchet tie downs, yellow
straps. I also could use T Hooks in the rear frame holes but I can't in
the front frame holes because they are covered with my Currie Anti-Rock sway
bar. Thanks a problem. What is used from the T Hook to the strap?

Anybody have web sites I can go to in order to purchase all I need? I did
find http://www2.northerntool.com/product/43572/ for the T Hooks. Any
ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

This is what I am doing

2 straps on each axle and one strap on the front and back to load the
springs.

Flame away, but it seems to work fine.

For short tows wheel straps are fine but for a long haul I'd cinch it down
from the frame.
This PDF file will show many different accessories you can choose from or
adapt to fit your application.
http://www.millerind.com/english/acc.../catagory1.pdf
Most frames have many anchor points to allow for loading flexibility on car
haulers, they however use chains and a winch assembly for tightening them.
You need a lot of clearance for straps or you can forget a near vertical tie
down. You may want to consider chain vs. straps.
