CHAINING...are you ready?

Denver started the day at -5, finished at 55 above, 60 deg. swing

Otter, I'm not sure where to begin on this one...

 

They're making front wheel drive now?

 

There's a lot more problems there other than the axle it's on.

 

The fact that he managed to make his bungee cords look like a swastika kind of cracks me up.

 

Truth be told, I have run with drive chains, trailer chains, and yes, I've even done steer chains. Best tire I found for steer chains (done right) is a 305 (low and wide mini float tire)(on civie truck rubber). Personally, it has to be pretty bad to run steer and trailer chains, and I'm not fussy on showing noobs how to do it, because they forget quick. If it's that bad you need trailer and steer chains, you're better off parked. If you're stuck, then maybe, just maybe, it's good to know.

The last time I ran a fleet and drivers was in the Army. MY guys and gals started chain training in the fall intermittently, then for real in the snow, and all were prepared if and when they needed them. The only issue my people had were off road if a chain broke.

JMHO

 

Ohhhhh yeah, as for Hammer's picture, it does look a 'little bit' sloppy, eh ?

If you REALLY need to go up and over the hill, try one of these with a 5th wheel instead ...........

 

What's the refrain? Oh yeah, "If it's bad enough to need ^that, it's not safe enough to go."
