I will have to look into those, the website says Lowes or Tractor Supply sells them, we have both around here.
Amazon has mediocre reviews for repeated use, just looked.

I use these tie downs but cut off the strap and replace it with a 1/8" steel cable.

Flat steel cable? Otherwise, how would you be able to use the ratchet/buckle?
Round steel cable. works just like the regular strap. Insert through the slot on the ratchet and start ratcheting. works great.

Lowes has them once in a while. That's where I get them. When I see the display, I usually grab a couple.
Eventually the foam wears off. I think you get 2 for about 7 bucks. By evenutally, it takes a couple rough seasons chew them up that bad. They are fast and I've never seen one even try to come loose.
Thats what the romex is for! I leave it dangling down over the mounting bracket of the rack. Obvious on the drivers side. I leave the passenger side longer and let it hang a bit lower, you can easily see it in the mirror. Ever since I had my oh crap moment this strategy has not failed. me
Yeah, they cost more than just Plain Jane bar-style racks, but they pay for themselves.
Not legal?
I'm all in favor of securing ladders properly ....
Just what did the insurance company mean by 'not legal?' That suggests that somewhere there is some reference that tells us what is a proper way to secure a ladder.
Could your agent provide us with some better guidance?
