Have you gotten a ticket yet for only having 1 chain on each axle? A buddy of mine got popped for it once already.

Looking sweet

You Brawlers are finally starting to get your trucks back together. Now if you Brawlers weren't so scared

you guys would make a trip to the East Coast fro some wheeling

J/K Truck is looking good though!

Wow,thanx for the kind words guys,really appreciate the compliments $Beer Chug\'n$ .Couple little odds and ends that still need to be done,5 point harnesses,finish painting the tubework,plate the floor board around the cases,and bolting in shocks,front driveshaft and little things like rock lights and CB radio,nothing major. $Beer Chug\'n$

Looks great Peps.

Will the "little odds and ends" be completed before 12-1?

Chain? Is it OK to run two straps per axle?

Yes. As long as you have 2 tiedown points per axle it is fine. Makes sense to me, if your back strap broke then your truck would come runnin at ya if you hit the brakes.

Excellent work, you've got some great friends to build such a sweeeeeeet Tacoma, have some major fun

. After going to Jr's today and now seeing your rig almost done I guess its time to go down the street and get that 1st gen. Going to have to sell the wife and kids so that I can fund my new project

. But on the real I can say I'm really motivated and need to get started real soon. $Beer Chug\'n$

i looked into the d.o.t. booklet and it doesn't say anything about requiring 2 straps per axle? Only that a vehicle must be securely attached to the tow vehicle......

it shouldnt matter what the book says...do what is SAFE..that would be at least 2 straps..personally i use 3 straps per axle

hey! this thread is back! I gave up on ya a while ago infernal! $Beer Chug\'n$ looks killer

dizzydevil · « **Reply #1705 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 05:15:59 PM »

3 why not 4 or 5......J/k i use 1 chain and binder per axle and 1 strap front and rear.......but lets not start that argument all over again. I was just replying to the guy who stated his bro got a ticket. I was just curious where he got it and what code was stated on the ticket, as the cali. ( i was assuming he got the ticket in cali. might be my mistake)d.o.t. booklet does not make mention of any requirements for 2 attachment points per axle.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #1706 on:** Nov 26, 2007, 06:17:58 PM »

He got it on Hwy 580EB before the scales. Don't know the code they wrote him for.
