Lasso straps look tops from here. For the newcomers including myself, I like to put at least one safety chain from the rear axle of each vehicle to a reliable tie down point. Just in case you may have to perform an emergency sudden braking manover and the straps are put to the test.
Yes those have been around multiple decades. The towing industry uses them as normal operations, it amazes me that since the popularity has grown for UTV's that more people don't use this method.
I use lasso straps. I feel like there is something better out there but they work pretty well for now. On my set up I have to cross them in the middle. Only the chains touch in the middle but I'd prefer to lasso my tire and go out instead of in.I just don't have the room on my strap.
Thanks for this video, just got my 1st Can-Am X3 and turns out tying it down to a trailer is not as trivial as I thought lol coming from 2 wheel dirbikes. This method looks like it will work with my trailer.
When going over your tire, you put it so the front tires pull forward and rear tires pull back. Pulling straight down to center is dangerous and completely wrong. The way you have them at the end will work but eventually will wear the strap.
I use the same straps. I've always been concerned with the wheel damage doing it like that. I use the straps through the front lower a-arms to allow the suspension to do its job The rear I run them over the axle. It's a little more work but it's a cleaner look & no worries on the wheels. I don't strap on the frame bc they could loosen up with the bouncing around. Hints why I grab it from the suspension. As it's going down the road, it can bounce all it wants. It's planted on the floor by the suspension
Yes, I’ve got the hillbilly brake. The point was to show the average consumer that may not have a brake what it looks like tied down with the lasso style tie downs.
I have the same straps for my ranger, and the trick is to not have them pull straight down. Instead have one pull forward and the other pulling backwards. And also when you cinch them down have the rings pull back towards the ratchet to get a bite on the strap. No movement at all. 👌🏼
use allmost same way but tie down in the front , but leave the strap on your tires / will look like u are tie cross way no way will roll / i hope u know what im trying to tell u , young man ! . all 4 cross corner ? i have the same problem until i still tie tires first then i cross strap to the allmost to the corner ? i use my side by side rescue unit finding loose people s ? I WORK PART TIME FOR NORTHEAST LOUISIANA RESCUE UNIT !.
You definitely should make an adjustment. They should be inline with the wheel, and go from the tire both to the middle of the car, or the ends of the car. each strap in any situation should work as an antagonist for the opposing strap.
My lasso straps show to tie a little front of the center of the wheels or to the back of the wheels. You won’t get the rocking the way mine get attached, just don’t go too far away from the tires.

I did around the tire, never came off, I had a hard time once around the tire getting them off, excellent tie-downs
most people don't go straight out sideways, if you angle them it works great
Yes, this. It's simple physics
Can’t beat Macs wheel bonnet tie downs . Best in world 👍
Not a comparison video. Just a video on the tire lassos.
Please do tell us more about that 300% markup you paid for simple equipment 😂
I like it! Best one I've seen so far. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the review. Great info. 🦅🇺🇸

The straps instructions tell you to set the brake
MACS UTV Tie Down Nets....way better system, trailer might need some small adjustment though but IMO worth it.
You need to go at least 45 degrees kinda like the wY you ran through the wheel but over with the straight down allows movement

I did that but the rims cut the strap half way after a 6 hour drive...
I believe you are supposed to say “that’s not going anywhere” after the item is secured.
That is a required step!

Great idea!
Curious how much rock your would have with them tied on around tire (like first attempt) if you ran machine all the way to the rail
I think that would definitely help. Even just pulling the straps at a slight angle and not straight down really helps with any rocking.
I strap mine the same way and you will need to watch out for the straps rubbing the coating off your rims.
Thanks man
second method SXS is up against the front rail.
Been using vulcans for quite a while, never had it roll like yours. looks as though you didn't have the brake on or have it in park for your test.
It was in park. They don’t have parking brakes
yeah but you have a hillbilly break right?

How long is the trailer? I like it
It’s the 20 foot PJ buggy hauler
Good info.
yea im not sure i like the way they want you to use them eaither. at least your way is better
YOUNG MAN ,
NEVER USE D- RINGS MAKE STRAP BOUNCE AN RUB ALL DAYS LONG
I would think that you are going to have a lot of wearing the paint off of your nice wheels
What no evo exhaust on that 2021 yet
The turbo kit comes with its own exhaust 😉
Lucky duck. Can't wait for that video
use allmost same way but tie down in the front , but leave the strap on your tires / will look like u are tie cross way no way will roll / i hope u know what im trying to tell u , young man ! .
all 4 cross corner ?
i have the same problem until i still tie tires first then i cross strap to the allmost to the corner ?
i use my side by side rescue unit finding loose people s ?

Wheel nets! Never again fall off...
What size is the trailer?
20 feet
@@mikeoutdoors769 nice! Thanks for replying
go through the wheel spokes

Putting straps through the tires we never have machine wobble
The first Shake test you did. The front tires was not up against the front rack. Also u need to put the utv in park. not a good comparison.
The Utv was in park. The lasso’s do better if you don’t pull straight down but at an angle, however that’s not how the instructions recommend.
My lasso straps show to tie a little front of the center of the wheels or to the back of the wheels. You won’t get the rocking the way mine get attached, just don’t go too far away from the tires.
