Up here we need to be ready to chain up anytime as the lease roads are not allways nice and dry and level.. Some areas the grades areright up there and on a new lease after a good rain you will need them to get into and out of location...
CHAINING...are you ready?

What I did when I was with peben and was pulling the same trailer all the time was to get the mechanic to weld 2 of thodr big u shaped spring bolts to the side of the trailer and hung extras on the trailer. MAke sure to unclude a hole at the top to install a secureing devide (a big cotter pi or what ever) so ya dont get dinged at an inspecion. In my video you can see on the trailer what I had doneotherhalftw, Working Class Patriot and MNdriver Thank this.

Courtney here just took the chains out of the toolbox on my truck tossed them in the shop, needed to lose some weight to take this darn load, 800 lbs over with 1/2 full fuel tanks shippers are nuttier than squrrel ####.
