If you go look on Pirate4X4.com, you'll find some good info on tying down. That being said, it's a very controversial subject! I angle to the front tow points and crank the ratchet straps down as hard and tight as I can. In back, I wrap a chain around the nose of the diff and use a binder to get it tight. All done with an eye toward a proper loading of the trailer tongue. I'm considering getting some automotive tie down hooks like are used on car carriers, trains, etc., and tying down by the frame. Since that's the way the pros do it, it must work well. This is a good question, and I'm looking forward to some discussion. Thanks!
