LA Guard dog atv tie down system

Yep. Works well. Easier and more secure than ratchet straps.

It's a little heavy if you carry it around fully assembled, but that's not really a big deal.

Very good product.

My FIL got the trailer mount version for his Ranger it is slick as shite.

That looks like a stout system.

I see lots of people with 4-wheelers and shooting carts using little 1" nylon tie-down straps. In a serious (or semi-serious) wreck, those straps will pop like rubber bands.

I was rear-ended once (maybe 10 mph impact) while towing a BBB. I had 2" nylon straps that I had bought from Cabelas (supposedly rated at 2000 lbs). The ratchet on one of them failed (sheared) completely. I later learned that the hardware (ratchet) is usually the weak link in tie-down straps.

Now I use these: LINK The strap and the hardware are both rated at 20,000 lbs. breaking strength, and the "working load limit" is 5670 lbs. The straps are longer than what I needed, so I just cut the excess off one end of the strap.

I'm gonna look into the Guard Dog system to see what it's rated at and how much room it requires at the front & rear of the trailer.

Had one for years. Worked great.

I've never had any of my straps fail, but I was always nervous that they would, due to the terrible Louisiana roads and all the bouncing around. I was using 4 straps to put it in the back of my truck. I was a pain in the arse more than anything, and then the constant worry of them fricking up and my bike rolling out onto the car behind me on the interstate and killing someone. So I started looking into the guard dog. Then I decided I didn't have enough shite taking up space in my garage, so I bought a trailer to load it in instead.

thanks for all the replies, probably going to go ahead and order me one!

I've had one since 2010 and it works great

Got one. No troubles

I've got one.

It works great.

I only bought it because my previous truck had a retrax cover and a four wheeler won't fit(tailgate closed), and my new truck has a bak flip g2 and it won't fit in there either(tailgate closed), so it gets a lot of use during hunting season.
