Custom extensions for towing

Installed the fabspeed towing loops. Nice product, but I was unable to reach them to attach the ratchet straps without raising the car. Quick trip to tractor supply and $140 later i now have a system.

Right tool for the job.
Question... tool is for towing or tying down?

FWIW I dislike seeing straps secured through the wheel/rim spokes.

I strongly suggest you check the WLL (working load limit) before you use those. I suspect the WLL of those turnbuckles is much less than that of your tie down straps. In the event of a high G load (such as an accident), I suspect those turnbuckles would straighten out and your car would no longer be tied down. Please be safe.
