Trailering a 2006 Vibe
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2018 5:20 am
Wasn't sure where to post this. I am going to pick up our second Vibe later today and bring it home on a trailer. I haven't much experience trailering. The plan is to have two straps up front and two out back, crossing them. I see what seems to be designed for such a thing in the front end....at either end of the rad cradle hang down a "tab" that a hook would fit into nicely. Is this an adequate spot to secure the front end?
As for the rear. I can't seem to see a place that would be secure. The hole in the rear tube isn't large enough for the hook on the strap?
I just had another look......how about the bottom bracket where the shock mounts. Seems quite robust there. I can have the hook go up into that bracket and cross it to the other side of the trailer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
