    I must be missing something. I don't see how he could have made that turn without driving off it. I'm not disagreeing with you or anything. It's been a long day.

    No worries, friend. I didn't mean to say that he didn't drop off, I meant to say that he didn't drive the front axle off a foot and a half drop.

    That's my favorite way to install tire chains.

    Plus by the time the tow truck shows up to get me back to where I can get moving, the chain restrictions are usually lifted, and since he's on hourly and billing it to the company, I can usually just get the tow guy to pull the chains back off and bill it as part of the recovery time.

    Took a second look on a larger screen. I was mistaken...he DID drive off the thickest part. Incredible....

    Judging by the chunks missing along the edge, he hasn't been the only one. It looks like the bottom passenger step is pushed up.
