Toys are fun, but they're less fun in your garage, obviously you need to get them somewhere, and that's where etrailer comes in. We have some things that make it a little bit easier, and some things that just get the job done. This is one that's gonna make it a little bit easier for you. So, these are the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit, and this makes it a lot quicker and easier to get it loaded up, so you can take your fun toy to some place more fun. So, if you stick around, we're gonna show you how we load it up, how it performs, and how we install it. All right, time to get the toys loaded up.

It's always fun ripping around on the farm, or whatever, with family and friends, but obviously you got to get it there. And, the fun part is driving it. The fun part is not loading it up and stuff, but this is gonna make that process a little bit quicker, and with having the fixed points on the trailer, it's super nice. One, we can line it up with those, not a lineup with the ramps, but two, we know where everything goes, so we know what we can or can't fit on the trailer. So, let's get to it, shall we One thing that I struggle with sometimes, is lining up our ramps, right But with this, I know exactly where the tires are gonna sit whenever I'm done, but this way I can just line it up with that board, just like that.

And now I don't have to worry about it, and second guess myself, and this is gonna be really useful for when you're loading up by yourself. You can do it by yourself with confidence, and confidence is key. So, now that that's all done, we go ahead and get in, get on, strap it down. There we go. I liked the fact that I felt that little hump, knowing I'm exactly where I need to be, because if you we're to use E-tracks, or something like that, you never know exactly when and where you need to stop.

I have a winch on the front, and a big bar, so if I went too far, I'd probably damage my vehicle. With this, no worries. With the kit we're gonna get two of these straps. Very nice straps, and they're gonna go into our E-Track, and these are gonna be two inches wide by seven and a half foot long. So, that's plenty long for all the wheels that are gonna work with this kit.

It is gonna have a safe working load limit of 1500 pounds, and a break strength of 4,500 pounds. So, plenty strong for what we need, and plenty convenient for what I want. So, what we wanna do, we can start with this one, you know how E-track works, just like that. And we'll go all the way around to the other side. We wanna make sure and get it in the center of the wheel, you give yourself enough slack to get all the way around, lock it in, just like that. You can use either one. I'm gonna use the closest one, so it doesn't really rotate at all, just like that. Pull her tight. And, you know how ratchet straps work, go ahead and start clicking it down. A couple of clicks, and we are good to go. As of right now, with one strap, this thing isn't going anywhere, but we're gonna do the same exact thing to the other side. So, it's all tied down, and it is so extremely solid, that this is not really going anywhere. But, what I did was, I went inside and I put it in neutral. And we're gonna go ahead and rip around the parking lot, just to see what kinda movement is, so you guys can see how little it does move, and how secure it is. Let's go. I'm going around the parking lot, and I'm gonna do some quick stops, and some quick goes. I don't see it moving at all, which is good. We've been in and out of all these campers, and trailers, and boats, and all that stuff. So, now what we're gonna do, is go over the speed bumps, just to kind of simulate what you're gonna feel on the road, whether it's a pothole or even maybe just a speed bump, wherever you guys may be going. So, we'll see how she does. Even in neutral, she's solid as a rock. I've got some oscillating speed bumps, so like uneven terrain, that kinda jazz. And, I don't see her moving. There we go. Well, she did pretty good, she really did. The nice thing about this is, we're not strapping it down, and strapping down the suspension. So, the suspension is completely unloaded. So, when we hit these bumps and stuff, we're getting the initial travel of the suspension. So, one, it's gonna be better for your suspension. Two, it's gonna be a little bit smoother for your equipment in the back, when you wrap it around the tire. That's how I haul cars, side-by-sides, four-wheelers, anything with wheels, that's the best way to strap everyth
