How do you tie down you ATV
The Polaris owners manual says to tie down from the frame. I have been using ratchet straps over the front and rear racks on my 800 Sportsman. I also, as insurance wrap the winch cable around a front brace on my trailer, hook it on the bar on the bottom front, and tighten it down. Is there any good reason to tie down to the frame instead?

Good point about the winch. Especially after I saw all the posts about how bad the Polaris winches are! Bought 2 more ratchet straps and now tie down from the frame.

Seriously, though, I always tie down to the frame. I have seen rack extenders and other parts bend when tied down. Besides, the suspension is likely to "self adjust" while bouncing down the road, causing your tie downs to loosen or worse, come undone.
