Re: BEST WAY TO TIE DOWN TJ ON TRAILER
Hi Brian,
The Mustang tie down suggestion scares me, something like that is used on a dolly, but they're tie straight down, and can't rock out.

Re: BEST WAY TO TIE DOWN TJ ON TRAILER
I think tying to the frame or bumpers is best. If you only tie to the axles
or wheels, you get body roll which can pitch the trailer. I recommend two tie downs per end (front and rear)... if one fails (or gets loose) the other is there for safety. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.
