Does anyone put a full set of chains on anymore?

[gman042]

Just got a set of these we are trying out. Can put them on in about 2-3 minutes

They didn't give us any sand bags this year. If it's a bad winter I will snag a few bags if Rick salt from maintenance and throw them in my truck.

Throw a bag of cat litter in your truck... that could help

Where did you get those.. can they be run on low profile vehicles like a Subaru???

Im not talking about the skip/cheater chains but the full set.

Most drivers only throw the quick 1’s on when they are stuck, which is what i used to do.

On rural routes during snowstorms the 10-15 minutes it takes to put them on takes all the stress of the day away and it just feels like any other day. You can go almost anywhere with them. Its not that im trying to be a hero or anything, but it just takes the edge off.

Thoughts? Some mountain passes and certain areas it’s mandatory if im not mistaken...

Chain most the time during the winter. Don't have a choice most days if l want to deliver literally anything. Like you're saying, once they're on it's almost like 4x4.
It helps to carry an extra raincoat/gloves to put on while chaining up. keeps the uniform dry

Those blue Rent The Runway bags are better than any chain I've ever used.

Do you really think that I will miss this place when I move on to the next phase in my life?

You'll never leave this place don't kid yourself. You get more attention here even being called an then you get anywhere else.Different screen name(maybe)but you aren't going anywhere.

Too light and you can't rock them.

I don't have a problem with not having enough weight (most of the day I have at least 200 pieces in the back), but rocking got me out of a lot of jams in my old truck. Combine shift inhibit with how easy they spin the tires (no separate winter tires like the old trucks) and they do indeed suck.

 

[Jkloc420]

yes

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Got a new 6300 last yr. It is surprisingly great in the snow. With the latest storm and plunge in temperature. It doesn't turn off either. Where I deliver I have no cell or diad reception. So if I get stuck. There is no one to call. So I tie it to trees or walk them off. Plus mailbox stuff. About 15 a day.

That's why I keep my old truck.

He will leave, but will watch the forums like a hawk. After a while he will be overtaken by the need to impart his wisdom on everyone. Just don't ever question him or comment on any of HIS choices. Only he is allowed to do that with everyone else. Lol.

Most likely under a new username so as not to look like the he is.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

In response to thread question- never used full chains but used mud hooks several time. Not sure why they aren't snow hooks. Lol.

No, no- his ego is much to large to not use current username. Lol.

You're probably right,he'll take the abuse for not leaving. More attention.

FFS who cares what upstate does... but i guess all of u do

The day after he retires he will come back with a new account pretending to be management

Does being called a liar by a disreputable person such as yourself really mean anything?

Actually I think you will.
