when my mate an i towed a vn we used ratchet straps around the back of each tyre. wouldnt budge after that.

okay i only have 2 1tonner straps.. should i strap it to the trailer through the back wheel towards the iner of the car then out the outher side??

i have to other straps but there not has heavy duty as the 1 tonners, im towing it with a vh commo as well. lowered springs harden shocks 6 cyc brand new heavy duty 1tonner clutch ect.
i towed a full vc before no problems, the sle im towing ony has a motor in it, runnning gear, no petrol tank, gas tank, and missing some panels..
i will only be doing about 80kph if that!!

I tie down the back wheels with ratchet straps, around the axle and use the chain to pull the car up the ramp to keep tension on it.

okay thankyou for your advice.. im looking on the internet for information, not having much luvk though =[

If it has mag wheels with decent spokes you may be able to tie through them reasonably well with only one strap at either end. If you can't tie the wheels themselves directly, the go around the diff and the front cross member. Either way make sure that the front and rear straps are pulling against each other.

If you only have two straps and you have to ask on here for information, please take someone who knows what they're doing.
It's not a game, it can seriously f**k you up if that car moves on the trailer, especially at speed.

all worked out good, had a strap around each wheel, had tension on the chain.
thanks for all your help (next time will use a 4wd to tow)
