After my automotive establishment garage door ramming session last week I
picked up some web/cam based tiedows, as my home made ones weren't as strong
as they should be given I was using plastic "D" rings for the "V" section
where the ties goes left and right to spread the load. A sample is below:

There was some discussion on this subject a while back. I believe one poster
mentioned drilling eye bolts into the bumpers of this Chrysler Minivan. I'll
be doing the same -- after all, vehicles are meant to serve us, not look
pretty and un-festooned by pragmatic based needs.
