I was compressing this coil on a 2000 Ford Taurus that was realy hard and I wanted to get it done tonight because I have so much work & more keeps coming. anyhow my coil spring compressors that I have used so many times had met their match and I was nervice that they were going to break so I used dollar stoor ratchet straps and they worked great. I think if you used just 4 ratchet straps it would do the job.

I am purchasing a motorcycle and am planning to take it home on the back of a pickup. It’s a little bit of a distance from me so this seems to be the most convenient way. My question is how would I go about strapping down the motorcycle (so it doesn’t fall over) in the pickup? The pickup is NOT mine, so I can’t modify it.
What straps would you recommend getting?
Thanks in advance!
Just get some 15′ ratchet straps and put them on the forks and frame of the bike, higher is better. then attach the straps to the square holes in the bed of the truck, not that hard. Make sure to use AT LEAST 4 straps though!

Pipe or tube….one of the more dangerous loads a flat bed driver can haul. While it’s not always as tall as some loads it will roll. I have hauled it loose and banded together like this load. Always have a way out, if it starts to move. One piece of pipe falling off the trailer will kill you if you don’t get out of the way.

I knew how to do it at one point, but I can’t remember. When I open my truck door the interior light goes on, there’s a way to set it so that it doesn’t turn on and it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual settings on the light? Can anyone describe how to do it?
There’s only two ways to accomplish your goal. One is separating the switch out of the circuit by disconnecting it (be sure to tape up the connector to be sure it doesn’t short out). Or… attach a short length of metal strap to the door fame that can be turned to a position over the switch to hold it down all the time.
