Recommended Tie Downs for a Polaris RZR Side by Side
Question:
Hello, Im looking to install d rings as tie downs on my trailer for my Polaris RZR, which is rated at about 1,200 pounds. I tie down the front, on the tongue, and am thinking on installing 2 D rings in the rear to the wood planks in the bed of the trailer. any recommendations would help. Thanks!

You might want to consider using Erickson ATV E-track tie down kit # EM09160 which are 6-1/2 feet long. The kit will allow you to tie down 2 tires so you can use them at the rear wheels. The straps are included.
If you would rather go with D-rings such as # SS15-C I do recommend using a backing plate on the underside of the trailer floor so that the force applied to the D-Ring is spread over a larger area. You would not need that with the E-Track kit since each track is secured in 6 places spread fairly far apart.
There isn't a specific backing plate you would just need a piece of 1/8 inch thick steel that is wider than the footprint of the D-ring.
