Guessing there is an admin or two that would rather I not be here, oh well.
pretty obvious who the problem child is, to anyone who isn't biased......
Glad to have a couple of decent folks in my corner though.
Either way, life will no doubt carry on as normal.....lol
MartinMudguppy Thanks this. -
Martin, there is a big parts place there in Liberal. Downtown right after the R.R. tracks on the right that sells alot of different gear.
We bought some stuff there several years back, when I hauled some towers out of there. -
What kind of parts Carl?
-
Just about anything for a trk. We bought some straps and our stop and go hand held sign.
Plus tie down gear -
Think I drove right by the place when I dropped the trailer at the rail head. Must be off Kansas Avenue, just before the RR tracks.
Martin -
yep. north side of the tracks..

It has been my expierence that the higher grade chains are in fact better , they seem to twist less and have a way of flowing around lugs ect , as far as removable hooks , its been my expierence that normally if the hook needs to be removed to fit through a tie down point that tie down point probably isn't rated as high as the hook you are trying to pass through it thus it becomes the weak link, I have also seen catastrophy when a chain has failed, my opinion is go with the heaviest best grade stuff you can get/ afford, that will safely secure what you are carrying , some states won't allow multiple chains to the same point so higher ratings are a neccesity, due to limited poi ts available , and by the way how about propper use of a chain , ie hooked on both ends to itself and the slack between the binder , I rember a few years back dot was having a real picnic writeing tickets for chains being taught as they pass the binder is a chain with only one hook ? WoW and recently I have been seeing loads running like this again so I figr in this era of revenue generating ticket writing we better be doing it " the right way"
