{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"always hook from the inside, if it breaks, then the tension goes towards the load not the traffic, it's a Cardinal rule---chains are the same thing, it's cheaper to have the cargo hit then going thru someone's window by straps or chains, also make sure you have the proper straps and chains that fit your rub rails that doesn't leave hang over"}
