I tied it to the strut bar... of course, you need a strut bar to do this.
You probably could also string it to a ceiling joist if you got it, other people just use the side of a tire and let the brake rest on it.

Just slip a tire underneath it. I never tied my off, just propped up against a tire.

4drcivic2k1 is an unknown quantity at this point
Zip ties usually. Or duct tape. You can put a tire under it too.
