Securing your flags to an over sized load when all you have is a tire to secure it to. I do not like using magnets, have lost too many of them.
Mattflat362 and skellr Thank this. -

There are alot of posts on how to tarp. How about removing the tarps. What are some tips on how to remove tarps with 8 foot drops on steel. I have thrown straps over the load and used carabiners to connect the triangle to the D rings and pulled the tarp off like a giant curtain.
Are there any other tricks or advice you could give on removing the tarps, thank you. -
I usually just grab it from a corner, flick it to get some air under it and tug diagonally away from the opposite corner, then repeat as needed. My padding is usually strapped to the load so I don't need to worry about snagging on any edges. My straps are always under the tarp so I don't need to worry about tipping the load over pulling on the tarp.

if you go to the link above and look for
"Grade 70 Auto Hauling Chains With Grab Hook, R-Hook and Twisted T/J Combination Hook"
you will find the j hook along with the hooks for most autos. -

No those are not t-j hooks. T-J hooks a small and usually have a ring or chain hook. These fit into the holes in frames on vehicles. I've seen them at Iowa 80.
I'll try and get a pic. Soon
