I used to be able to drive up our open trailer but put 2x12's under the ramps and made sure the tongue was up. Now with the enclosed trailer I have to winch it up. I have the winch mounted in the floor so the cable stays low to the floor. I wrap a long axle strap around the front lower control arm then hook the cable hook to that. I leave it hooked up and then strap the car down with the points behind the front tire, and criss-cross over the rear batwing.

Thanks for the reply. I really didn't want to pull from the control arms and was wanting to get it from the cradle.

I can pass a tow strap through the openings in the front on either side of the radiator support and can grab the cradle. It'll be above the chin spoiler so it shouldn't give me further problems in winching the car up.

As for tying it down, I was going to pass the straps through the wheels using the protective sleeves in front and rear.

Good info. How much for your strap?

Thanks.
