OK, I got the Fabspeed tie downs installed and attempted to use the Reter method described a few posts earlier. I have to admit I was baffled. The front straps were fat too short to reach all the way into the frunk. It's still hard to reach the tie downs even with the car stopped along the ramps. I struggled to make it work, but sadly, I'll be going back to the looping thru the wheel technique.

You need longer straps for the front.
Should have mentioned it.

Maybe it my slender physique, built like a Gazelle..
I put two RS in my trailer like that.

I must confess, I have other circumstances that prevent me from using the new tie down anchor points. I have a 2 shelf tire cart that is stored in the very back of the trailer, supported by 2 shoring beams. In order to roll the tire cart in the trailer, I need as much free floor space as possible. The rear tie downs are fairly close to the center of the car, and the straps just get in the way.

Here are some photos showing my set up:


I used fixed length straps in the front


The rear uses standard ratchet straps


Notice the 2 shoring beams and obviously the tire cart


The straps pass under the lower shoring beam and outside of the cart


The smaller half of the 2-piece ramps is stored underneath the tire cart and lower shoring beam

Remove D rings and add airline track?
Or add a couple D rings.

I built a helmet blower. I purchased a single helmet shelf from Arrow Components. I then purchased an AC tube axial fan, fan guards, and a switch along with some wiring bits. I had a machine shop cut the fan and switch holes. Works great!

Mooty said that back in 2012. Keep up!

Seriously, if I had it to do all over again, I'd buy a 36' gooseneck.

^ this is why ppl should just do what i tell them to do. as i would tell max. dont ask why. just do what i say.

though you do make good use of space.
