How do you tie down a Grizzly (for example) in the back of a Pickup?? What kind of straps??

Thanks

 

I use ratchet tie downs which you can pick up at walmart for 6-10 bucks

 

The ratchet ones are the best but use at least a 2" tie down, not those 1" ones. I have broken 4 of them (Honda Rancher tied down on a trailer over rough mountain passes). Not I ONLY use the 2" ones when I transport (on the trailer or in the bed of the truck) and have never had another problem.
Good luck!

 

I Have motorcycle tie-downs and Get Who ever is with me to sit on the rack then i tie it down as tight as possible. I also have some wood blocks in the back of the truck to keep it in place (it sits bout 3 inches from the back window)

 

Two eye-bolts on the trailer floor, front and rear. Eye bolt on the front and rear of the TV and two turn buckles. We tie the frame to the trailer, not the racks. When in the back of the truck, three 2" rachet straps. Buy nice ones, ours were about $18 a piece and are for motorcycles.

 

i use rachet type straps with hook on each end. use front and back as I cant close the gate with my rincon on my pickup...straps hold well.

 

Buy 4 good (2" minimum) straps. You're tying down a $5000+ quad don't get cheap on tie downs.

Try to attach the tie-downs below your suspension parts at all four corners. If you attach to the ATV's racks or bumpers, the quads suspension is still going to flex and the trailer suspension is going to flex and the tie-down might loosen,unhook, or break. 2 bouncing suspensions can put a lot more stress on them.

I like the eye bolts idea too...but I use a borrowed trailer and the owner might not like extra holes in it.

 

Just an interesting note I found out this summer- The load tie down capacity of a 1" tie down is about 800-1000lbs. The breaking point-----150lbs!!! My buddy called one of the manufacturers of a popular brand of tie downs because he almost lost his quad when 2 out of 4 brand new tie downs broke going over a bump. They told him that he could tie down the above weights to secure it but that a sudden shock load of only 150lbs would break it! I was shocked. They should tell you that stuff on the package.

 

Luckily both of my ATV's fit perfect in the back of my truck, tires hit before the bumper smashes through the back window and all ...

But those straps are nice for the trailer, but if you get the right sized trailer you can put the quads on sideways and don't have to strap them then either. Can't beat that!

 

I use ratchet straps also. One in each corner of the quad to the bed.
