I use the ones on the far right CA13, call it a T hook or whatever. They hook into the oval shaped holes in the frame rails.
Hook em, twist em, strap em, and haul it like you stole it.

 

Thanks Brian, I ordered 4 of them for $37 delivered.

This is the correct link to order the CA13 T-hook: http://www.awdirect....oks-ca13/hooks/

 

So some say t hooks and some still say r hooks.

 

I think either one works. I use T hooks just because that's what they had in stock.

 

The CA14. The "Mini R-hook". I prefer that design over the T-hook as it applies load on the top and bottom of the open, while the T-hook just pulls down from the top.

 

So I loaded the S2000 today since I did my last autocross event in the region before I move to Lousiana.

I followed a diagram from one of the other threads on strap down the S2k and read not to cross it.

I plan on buying two (2) more straps with ratchets to use on the back since the kit I bought didn't have them for the rear straps since it was designed to go around the a-arms.

I did end up using the R-hooks.

I will also about about 300-400 lbs(including me) in the cab of the F150 and another 50 lbs of payload in the S2k. The GWVR is 6600 lbs for my truck.

What do you guys think? Please feel free to make any comments since I won't be moving for a few more days.

 

Do you guys recommend putting the car in gear and/or using the emergency brake while long distance trailering?

Edit: After doing some internet searching it looks like neutral with e-brake is preferred by most. Release e-brake during cinch down then re-apply once tight.

Those j and r-hooks are truly the only way to tie down a car. If you trailer your car on a regular basis you really should get a set.

 

Correct. Generally thought is to keep the car in neutral so that the pistons aren't going up and down constantly (very minor amount) without lubrication as a result of the car shift back and forth on the trailer.

 

Do you guys think the tie down location ate fine on the trailer? Do i need more angle on the straps?

 

I'm obviously no expert but you might want to cross the front straps for a little more lateral stability. Crossing the front straps seems to be pretty common.
