Spent the last four hours recovering a stolen moped battery and then helping the victim rewire the connections.

I'm going to try to use this type of tie down. I was watching car haulers today and this is the system they use.
The advantage for me is the limited forward/backward pull in the box of the u haul, this would eliminate that problem. I would still use 2 straps to the front of the body to prevent bounce.

If you are going to use something like that system, I would add some expanded steel to the floor to make it rough so the tire has something to grip for side to side movement. I think u-haul floors are smooth.
maybe I am just overly cautious...

Not a bad idea, and it would also give you a target to get the tires on every time for load distribution.

Agree, sorta. I will have crossed straps holding the body too, which will kelp it from lateral movement at least in the front. I can also do the same out back if needed.
My biggest issue that I'm trying to solve is not space to strap long distances front and back.
I'm wanting to fix the current walls and/or cut the box in front of the bad area for an enclosed living space.

I wouldn't be too concerned about lateral movement.
Having owned and been around a few enclosed trailers, not much moves around in them. The biggest thing is to control the front to back with braking and acceleration.
I did run straps once in a criss cross under a jeep once in an enclosed trailer because the space was very tight. It worked, but was a royal pita to hook up and tighten down.

Do you hook straps to the body while towing on your trailer?

I sent the xj on its way to its new owner (via AAA), I was not sad at all to see it go.

I'd just use chains...everyone knows they are better.

So do I. I was just curious if it was something people did in an an enclosed situation for some reason.

My XJ just got axle straps. So did the ZJ when it had a sway bar. It got body straps on the way home from harlan though after trailer sway about killed me.
