    Funny this thread has come back to life this weekend.

    The wifey poo and kids are at the camp, so I brought the truck home this weekend for a belated spring cleaning. I'm just now going out to inspect my chains. I'm trying something new this year, wraps on the main drives, as normal, but I'm going to try ratchets on the rear drivers. Either way, maint maint maint..

    I'll be doing my usual winter run up this fall, but it never hurts to stay in touch with the gear ..... especially since it's easier to lube ratchets when the temp is a balmy 89 degrees at 8am on a Sunday !!

    Yeah really, eh ? Oh well, don't forget that the key word in 'Broker' is ...... 'BROKE' .... LOL.

    I did get the moose light fixed ......

    I should invest in bear lights thoo ....... there have been twice the bear hits in northern NS this year, then the same for moose hits .....
