    Don’t do it, just dump that bottle of brown liquid down the drain. That is not good for you, very unhealthy. Some reports have come out that it could cause you to whine a lot.

    A time or few. It's actually not the snow that makes me reluctant, but rather that I have to get the chains in and out of my sidebox. My truck doesn't have chain hangers, and that makes a world of difference untangling chains on the side of the highway.

    Something similar this week. Had to chain over Donner. Pull all the carp I don’t use out of box to get chains.

    That'd be fine if I was that far north, sitting in Wells, NV at the moment. So 93, 84, 5.

    Yea, I ran enough chains over 70, 80, and 90 that I could chain my entire truck to maximum in 30-45 minutes normally, and snow beats the hell out of chaining for mud, I just don't want to fight the ###### box.

    I timed my Donner run to avoid the snow, then ran out the bottom of California to Phoenix then Nogales.
