Random.. anyone here carry chains on their rig? Are they worth buying for getting caught in shitty muddy conditions or ice/snow? I could see them being useful in an expo/trip situation, especially in a mountainous climate with the quick weather

 

I carry two sets for the truck. Unless I'm in snow and know that there will be little articulation I only run them on the rear. They rubbed with the 285s so I'm sure it will be worse now but I bought the middle size so that 32-36 can run them and that makes it nice when with a group incase some one else needs them.

 

good call. So they're sized to fit multiple dimensions of tyres? I've been putting thought into getting some for the winter. I'll be using the taco to access early season skiing coming up in a couple months so i'd like to be super ready by then

p.s. still down to bust some caps tmrw before I head out to BV?

 

Oh and I've been studying your wiring posts in your sig.. trying to procure all the little odds & ends for the whole job before the electrical teardown starts

I'll get this wiring thing down

 

Sure im down to go play tomorrow! And the chains i have are for low speed-30mph or less and are very aggressive, they have a point on them where you hook the chain on on the tightest point you can get it then has 3 tensioners on them to do the final tension. I have to drive them for a few feet then readjust sense you have to get a cross bar under the tire.

 

Hahaha its there to help and let me know if you want any help or have any questions.

 

Also dont buy any heavy gauge wire. I have a ton of welding cable that is the best stuff to get and if i dont have the right size i get whole sale on it.

 

@2016spicytaco are you coming to the meet up this weekend?

 

suhweeet, i'll hit you up when I'm getting ready to head outta work. I'm going in at 545 so it wont be late.
That'd prob be the kinda chain I'm looking for. Any recommendations for brands/vendors?

Good to know, thanks man

 

There prob more expensive but I have a set of semi truck chains, cut down to size there very beefy and worked last winter when needed

 

dont remember where i ordered mine but they are v bar chain and were 120$ a pair

 

I got some new stuff

 

I always carry chains when wheeling in the snow, never used them in mud. I have not run a trail that has enough mud to even think of chains.

 

Well that hail storm on the south side of the Springs gave me about 15 dents in the roof and 5-6 on the hood they're not very big but still.

 

Oh man that sucks!!!!

 

Anyone ever try the glue-type paintless dent removal tools?

My deductible for insurance is $1,000. Probably won't hit that or would just barely if I take it into a shop.

 

Someone I can't remember who posted about paintless dent repair shop...
I dropped my comprehensive deductible to 500$ just for the hail factor

 

FIFY

 

I actually laughed. Ha.
