Chainin' Up With Dave In AZ

atleast your smart enough not to run duall chains.

 

Great thread. It's really makin me glad I'm sitting at home this week.

 

Good post Dave!
I dont carry chains and wouldn't use em if I did .

 

Interesting. These would also allow for easier connections to heavy trailers that would otherwise need to be cranked down to avoid high-hooking or missing the kingpin entirely.

I may look into buying a set for that alone, even if I never chain up.

 

Maybe only do one axle at a time?

 

Thanks for the great post Dave!

I’m a bit embarrassed to say I’ve never chained up before. To me that’s real deal trucking out there what you are doing.

Question: do you throw chains on a trailer axle as well? Obviously that doesn’t help you up the mountain but what about braking on the way down? Would this help with the ### end wanting to come around?

 

I have to chain up just to get to my house during winter. That's what I get for moving to the mountains.
