My husband and I are moving out of state on military orders. We would like to know if anyone knows the best way to tie down our Jeep wrangler inside of a enclosed trailer. Its a 7,000 pound 20ft. Toy hauler. with hooks on the inside but all along the middle no bottom hooks along the floor? what is the best and safest way to do this?

You will need to have tie downs installed in the floor, attached to the trailer crossmembers. Any reputable trailer shop should be able to do it for you. Have 4 loop style tie downs placed just outside the track width of the Jeep, and use four straps from the frame to the tie down loops in an x pattern. (ie. left front of frame to right front tie down, right rear of frame to left rear tie down, etc.) And make sure the straps are rated for at least double the weight of the Jeep, a 7,000 or 10,000 lb strap will be plenty. You can also tie down to the axles, but in an enclosed trailer I prefer to limit the suspension movement of the vehicle to keep it away from trailer walls and such, it also makes the trailer handle better as the vehicle suspension cannot bounce.
it would be best to get the hooks installed but just remember to keep the axels still
