    so how much is that setup? since there's only one page with no links but a phone number.

    that should be a mandatory device.

    would seriously like to know...thats my issue with chainin...is getting out there on the side of the dang road with people not gettin over, snow plows etc going by...the act of chainin is dangerous...dont mind driving with them or in snow etc, its WHERE you have to do it at....but would only be logical for o/o unless a company would do that, and that I HIGHLY doubt...too expensive and wouldnt be properly cared for i am sure...

    Exactly Gig's... Thats why im gonna order her a set for next year.. she pulls light loads for United so the weight should not be an issue..and i dont see any company thinking about doing it cause of the cost.. but for safety reasons they should

    They run of a brake style chamber fed of the air system. Fire trucks and meat wagons use them. But what she going to do for the trailer. Here's a thought if u have to throw might as well park.
