Carrying heavy stuff safely - wheels, trolley jack, etc

[charltjr]

If the weather is looking a bit mixed I'm going to be taking a spare set of wheels and a trolley jack to trackdays with me.

Thing is, the rear of the car is stripped, so how do I carry them safely and securely? I imagine a cargo net using the existing fixing points is the way to go but presumably I need a pretty damn heavy duty one to be able to retain four wheels and a jack in the event of a crash, what do you guys do?

Am I just being a pussy?

Ratchet strap?

That ^^^

Bought some of these the other day. I've used better & I've used worse. Either way you're holding 80 KG of wheels down not 1000KG of race car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110980796450?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I would put the jack in the footwell behind the seats.

Thanks, don't know why I didn't think of ratchet straps. I've ordered some. Trolley jack can go behind the passenger seat.

I'd still tie the jack in just in case, if you roll into a ditch it will hurt your head.

Not to mention rattle & clunk around every time you go round a corner or over a crest etc.

Take a mate and put it all in their car lol I share the car with my dad so if we don't trailer it I drive and just throw everything in his van. Told him he can be the crew chief lol although I have driven home with a spare set of wheels in the boot but they're behind my half roll cage with a X bar.
