Re: how did Ri3d clamp down their truck strap?

From what I can see in the video they are using a common worm clamp, most commonly found being used as a hose clamp in older cars. I'm not sure if they are using that in addition to something else though.

Other ways to do it is to melt a hole in the strap and bolt it to the drum of the winch with a large washer. Make sure that you have at least 1 or even 2 wraps on the drum before it starts pulling any serious load.
