I'm awaiting completion of my "Spit-Trailer" - basically a 6&1/2' x 14'
3500# landscape/utility single-axle unit - slightly modified with electric
brakes, H-D tiedowns, beefed-up ramp/gate & angle-iron "chocks" - to be
towed with a 4wd 4.3L Sonoma.
Any comments from you experienced Spit-towers on the various tie-down
methods to secure the Spit onto the trailer? ISTR that Joe Curry mentioned
using the strap/ratchet deals that go over the wheels. Some of the
race-guys up here use straps from the suspension criss-crossed to the
tie-downs (on the opposite side). Bill Miller - planning to tow the Suchak
Spit from FL to IN - must have a good set-up in mind.
FWIW, I'm talking about long-range towing on the interstates. All
comments & observations on tie-down methods, from you folks with more
experience & knowledge than I, will be greatly appreciated.
