Anybody shed some light on the best way to strap a ZL1 down on a car hauler? Pictures? Looking at trailers and trying to take strapping into consideration.

Strap wheels down and then run the chain through the oval tow hooks on the frame.

Drive the ZL1, get a friend to drive the hauler...

Soft straps through the wheels got mine home safe when my tire blew out. I had some soft rags I asked the tow driver to use so the strap didn't make contact with the black wheels.

Oops. Just realized the straps weren't on yet in this picture. Basically strap through the wheel and pull the rear backward and the front forward.

Don't forget the front spring spacers!

The best ones are the ones that go around the tires. Or strap through the wheels. Lower control arms are also a good place to strap too. Crossing the straps is a good idea too. Stops side to side movement.
