    If your using rope halve the rope and create a loop and drop over the tyre but above the disks .take 1 end and secure around a upright under the top rail and tie off with a clove hitch to the centre of the vehicle then tension the other end with a truckies hitch or sometimes called a purchase knot under the top rail. If using tie down strapes use the same method but keep slipping the half loop to take up the slack then tension to the front and rear.also its a good policy to use the vehicle tie down points or bullbar and tow bar to run retainers to the mid point under the vehicle these need to be hitched off the vehicle so if one end cuts through the other side will keep it steady;(allow for suspension to work) pearcy has a very valid point balance the vehicle so that the combo sits even so you'll probably not have the steers right against the front rail. If you need any more help reply and well get on the phone.
