    I'd say it looks pretty good. I'm not sure about how you have some of your binders on the rail, since it's essentially pulling on one side of the stake pocket. I put ratchet binders directly to my rail frequently, but mine is a solid piece.

    looks pretty good. After that load I’d say your done with straps and prefer chains.

    What's your safe word in case you're caught by the secret police?

    This one.
    Not good.
    If a hose breaks on the lifting arm(or has a slow leak) the chain will become loose.

    Don't shoot me but .....................it is bad.
    You put a lot off straps .......................yet you put your life in the hands off 2 small metal bands.
    If just 1 metal band breaks,your straps are useless.:(

    Should have belly or gut strapped.

    I would have lifted the arm,secured and then lowered the arm.

    Or changed the angle (not shure if you could do that,the picture doesnt' show it) so the chain is to the side off the connector plate on the arm.

    Did you run the chain to the other side and use it there?
