    How do you put on snow chains with Gansta Fenders. They look nice. How do you install chains on this equipment over your tires

    That, and how do you inspect your tires for uneven wear/bolts/cuts etc with those on, you can barely get a hand in there between tire and fender.

    You will be wise to remove the Gansta Fenders and store them until winter is over at your shop. This is not a time for show. This is a time to do battle with chains properly. It will be much easier to get the chains on and off with those kinds of fenders removed.

    Why would anyone want Gangsta Fenders to begin with?

    People that run them know better than to go to CO.... They are the real deal.

    Posers crash and burn.

    You can find most of those guys 40 & South in the winter. They’ll camp out in Florida & California for weeks waiting for a load that’ll pay fuel money. Oh yea, they’ll constantly be crying about Megas running cheap freight.
