I see a lot of guys do that... personally I would still use two so that if one chain breaks or becomes loose, you still have one that is (hopefully) tight.
New guy here, how would you chain this?

I would put something infront of the pallet to keep it from sliding in an emergency stop. Since it is so small and i feel like securement does not work as well the closer to the deck it gets.
Couple pieces of dunnage will do it or a 2inch strap around bottom of pallet pulling backwards is how i would do it. Just my opinion, looks good tho.Kyle G., 24kHotshot, Lite bug and 2 others Thank this. -
Thank you gents, was delivered in Denver without incident. The rez roads in N.AZ are terrible! Check out the poor job I did with the long steel, and how I fixed it.
It's obvious I mistakenly did not put downward pressure on the steel with the chains the first go around. The second seems right.

Sometimes it works where you can both choke it and secure it with one chain/strap*, or sometimes you need to do those things separately.
*Not suggesting using a strap in this case, but for things like pipe, etc. -
Xray4 Thanks this.

What do you guys think of this one? I don't really have anywhere to chain on this car..
-
Good for side-to-side, but I think it could possibly roll right out of those. I would add something to restrict forward and backwards (besides the park pin and brake ... which are probably pretty used up in an old cop car ). Or if there is just a way to move the straps to the chassis instead.
