[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1712383, member: 97414"] And tap it kool at first... Chains deffinatly have advantages,,, they can also get you into a bind if you go past certain points,,, we've seen this a few times up here in the North... Don't get me wrong nor right,,, I've had my challanging moments with tire chains on 2 wdr's,,, the trick is keeping the front-end up on the road,,, I put 1 on a steering chain for this... I messed around with them in the oil patch and logging on big rigs,,, then on my pickup trucks for snowmobiling,,, quading,,, fishing and hunting,,, I learned a few things,,, let people know where your going,,, and think 3 X's before pointing the wheels down a road you might not return on """if""" you get rhubarb,,, long walk for help if you cross over 1 or 2 mountain ranges... Ha... 10 or 20 miles is a long walk in the winter months in the mountains... Stick to the mains,,, chat with the road grader dude and others in the area,,, play it wize my friend... Be prepared to change your plan and stay ontop of the tire chains in tightness and wear,,, fix them before they wreck your fenders... I quit counting the miles on tire chains back in 1994,,, pretty sure I've logged on 4 if not 8000 +++ miles... My longest stint started in the fall and rapped up in the spring,,, Super Sow Bed truck for oil patch in Zama City and Ft Nelson,,, from bottomless gum-ball to steep mountains with dozer push and pull cats to get us up and down the hills... Ha,,, lots of wrecks over those 2 winters... Cheers from the North... PS: Folks ask me,,, what is the most memorable monuments I remember about distance using tire chains,,, my reply is,,, to places I haven't been to yet !!! [/QUOTE]
