In this week's video I give you my opinion on the Erickson Tie Downs I installed on my trailer to tow my 2019 Yamaha YXZ. I believe the Erickson tie down system is the best utv tie down system for the price. It has some cons, but also alot of pros; which I go over in this video. I also give a quick lesson on how to strap down a UTV. This is not a paid promotion for the Erickson wheel chock system. I randomly came across these tie downs in a video about Yamaha YXZ1000r while I was searching for a better way to tie down my UTV. I recently had an issue with my ratchet tie down system coming loose while I was driving down the road. So I figured I'd try out this wheel chock tie down system and let my audience know what I actually thought about the product.
Hope you enjoy this video, thanks for watching! Make sure to check out my other videos about my 2019 Yamaha YXZ. Enjoy!

Best tie down system ever. I highly recommend these.

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

Ya they are great!

@DirtyJakTheDustyBean 2 года назад

We used this system also. We put it on about 5 years ago and loved it ever since. We just got a new trailer and are going to use the Erickson E-Track system this time and see how that works out. Putting it on this week and hopefully we like it as much as we did this one.

@robertanthony312 4 года назад

I’ve used a similar system for a Polaris Ranger (which caught fire) and my present Honda Pioneer 1000. It worked so well I use it now to secure my Morgan 3 Wheeler when i trailer it.

Best way to tie down UTVs by far

@Ram-re5em 5 лет назад

You did it the right way put the wheel mounts across two board. Great work.

@jasplat88 5 лет назад

I would have recommended you NOT put the brackets right up against your tires - if you would have left ~1" of space on both sides, it would accommodate different tires AND makes loading easier as you don't have to set the SXS in the trailer perfectly straight. Also agree with another commenter - mount the brackets across 2 floor boards, add large washers to the bottom or a metal plate for added strength and security. I've been using my since May and love them. Quick and easy.

@BriGuy503 5 лет назад

Yea I used washers on the bottom and also mounted them across 2 boards. They have been working great for me so far. Been using them about 6 months now.

@classicxl Год назад

I use drings bolted to the floor on each side of the tire on all 4 that can fold over when i’m done vs E-track that way i can still haul plywood or drywall

@Switching-Cars 4 года назад

i like mine but put the handbrake on you truck before you put your utv on the trailer with that because the truck goes foward alot with no handbrake on and onother thing, if you live where there is winter and your trailer is outside make some wood boxe to put over it because ice will get in the track and you wont be able to put the strap on because the hooks wont go in and its a pain. Good review.

@mossquadmodsyfs2004 4 года назад

It's the same way We tow drivers strap down card and trucks. On flat bed or stinger! Awesome got to get these or d rings and a tow web site or straps cheaper

@luvs2race370 2 года назад

That is simply an E-track system. They make many different attachments for that type of system including rings. So if you did wanna go to a taller tire you could simply get the ring attachments for the track system and use longer straps

@danburch9989 4 года назад

I did something similar. I like this tiedown system better. I got 8 D-rings and bolted them to the trailer floor with through bolts to 3/16" metal plates on the undeside of the deck (spreads the load). Then I used 2" wide ratchet straps cut to length. Anchoring to the SxS frame would seem to me that shock loads on rough roads might be excessive as the frame bounces. With this method, the SxS suspension system absorbs those shock loads. Any tie down system out there has their pluses and minuses. Using this method doesn't keep the UTV from sliding side to side especially on a very rough road to the staging area. If you have a wide trailer, the tire(s) could slide out from under the strap. It would have happend to mine but my trailer is 3" wider than my SxS making it impossible the SxS to slide too far sideways.

@patrickleyba1157 4 года назад

Dan, I was thinking of doing the same setup with d-rings. Have you had any issues? Any tips for install, and would you make any changes now that you have been using this set up?

@danburch9989 4 года назад

@@patrickleyba1157 No real changes needed at this point. I have a wood deck so I had to bolt all the way through and used 3/16" x 2" x 2" square washers that I made from 3/16" x 2" bar stock (1/8" stock would work just as well). I also used lock nuts (I didn't trust lock washers in this application. Just be sure that your ride doesn't shift side to side as this might cause the straps to shift off the tire. My ride is just about 2" narrower than my trailer so side to side shifting isn't possible. Just be sure to use 2" or wider straps. I cut the straps to length so I wouldn't have to deal with extra length straps flapping in the wind. I'll go to 3" when these wear out. The straps should hang vertically or slightly closer under the tire, not splayed out (hard for me to explain this). Example: If your tires are 30" overall diameter, the D-rings should not be more than 30" apart - something like this: \O/. I still chain the front of my ride to the trailer because I just felt safer. My trailer doesn't have a rear gate to keep my ride from rolling off backwards. A gate will come later.

@2213rtx 4 года назад

i used those just like you did to take my teryx 1500 miles from the bay area to baja mexico they work great , i used the strap to the frame method a they came loose

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

Good to hear! They are amazing!!

@nestorelddgo5053 4 года назад

On single axle trailers you gotta load utv with heaviest part in fromt of trailer avoids trailer to wiggle while you’re on the road

@briangarcia2358 3 года назад

That applies to dual axle trailers as well. Load should be over axle as much as possible with the slightest heavier side up front. So most side by sides are rear engine, should be loaded backwards for best trailer performance. 👍🏽

@crystalavery2570 3 года назад

I understand what your saying about loading heavy to the front on single axle, I worry about the rear windshield though? Will it damage a polycarbonate windshield loading backwards? Also, what was the performance of the straps on rough roads, do they slip off?

@tomgiovanni5885 4 года назад

I need these for my side load atv trailer. Knowing the bikes won't move and the straps stay tight takes away all of my trailering worries. It just so happens both of our machines have the same wheelbase so I can set the chocks at the same distances.

@kkingquad 5 лет назад

Another con I see is they’re semi-permanent in the floor of your trailer possibly making it difficult to load/haul things besides the utv.

@BriGuy503 5 лет назад

Yea that is a good point and another con. Thanks for pointing that out.

@Hausscatgrizz 4 года назад

About about just mounting some e-track down it’s flat and still using the straps.

Sounds like gear reduction would help, even if you only use 1st & 2nd or 1st, 2nd, & 3rd... Whichever configuration you decide, 70% reduction in 1st makes everything easier..

Large washers

@markmoore8385 3 года назад

He has through bolted these chocks through the single 2 x 6 only. The straps are solely relying on the Single 2 x 6 screwed to this trailer which is not ideal. They need to be bolted to the frame of the trailer. That 2 x 6 would turn loose if it is not attached properly. He may have confirm the 2 x 6 is attached properly but most of these trailers they are just screwed down.

@shady0079 4 года назад

the problem we would have in Arkansas is greasy buckshot mud.those straps would come of in 2 miles.

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

Yea mud might be an issue lol

@danburch9989 4 года назад

After the mud dries, the grit will add to the gripping power of the straps.

Great video! Do you happen to know if the straps are big enough for 31" tires? I have a Teryx KRX and I'd like to get something like this since it seems like less hassle to tie down your side by side when its on the trailer.

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

I dont know for sure. My tires are 29inch and I have some strap left, but I'm not sure if its enough for 31s. Maybe try looking at their website. I do remember seeing a max tire size somewhere on their Amazon description of the product.

It probably would. But I dont know for sure. Its pretty stout. U could probably strap both front or both rear aswell

@danburch9989 Год назад

Not really a problem unless three of the tires go flat. Some installations only have one kit. I would never use just one kit for that reason.

@genedandy 4 года назад

Great setup for a wooden floor trailer, but won’t work out on an aluminum one.

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

Why not? Couldnt you just drill through the aluminum decking?

@genedandy 4 года назад

@ BriGuy503 - aluminum is too soft a metal IMHO. Dropped my dirt bike on it and it left one hell of a dent. Would have been better of with a regular flat bed with the wooden floor, but my Mazda has a towing capacity of only 2,000 lb.

@BriGuy503 4 года назад

@@genedandy I think if you put a large plate on the bottom side of the bolts so that it sandwhiches the aluminum decking, it should work. If that makes sense?

@genedandy 4 года назад

@ BriGuy503 - yeah, totally with you on that, but the way they formed the aluminum below the deck isn’t conducive to doing so. Last aluminum trailer I’ll ever buy, that’s for sure!
