    I R a masshole. And it was a good state when i was a kid, full of great people. I dont know where it went wrong but i purposefully moved to one of the poorest and "most dangerous" places i could find in rural tennessee to be sure the yankee subdivisions wouldnt follow me.

    I escaped florida, back to the woods of GA and feeling much better for it.

    Absolutely not acceptable. Chain only and nothing crosses eachother. I see people put them over top, I dont agree with that either.

    Did I miss a picture or are we talking about the Kaplan truck?

    I think you missed a picture. There was another of a w9 looking straight at the front. I sorta disagree with your chain over the top being wrong... I think it depends how you do it as to whether it's wrong or not.

    I wasnt clear. I meant the straps over the top.

    Well, that I can pretty much agree with. Too easy to slide under a strap. However, I could see using a strap or two over the top from front to rear, if there's a significant number of chains thru the eye. In the case, the straps would only be holding down and helping limit the chance of forward movement. The chains would be the main securement without a doubt.
