CHAINING UP THE RIG....
Ok im looking for tips or advice on setting up snow/ice chains. Growing up in upstate ny i learned qwkly in freezing temps and repetitive chain ups as u passed through & between snow/ice and clear roadways, it was easier, faster, dryer and warm, to simply change the tires with pre rigged chain tires. I continued that for now almost 30 yrs as i have travel to and from different parts of the country and living in socal.
Now that i have modified my rig with a utility bed and FWC, weighing in at 10k lbs, carrying a large floor jack and two spares is out.
Ive seen a few newer types of qwk and easy chains, cables, and different traction devices.
Next week i will be road tripping from Corona Ca to Brookings Or. 80% of that travel on clear roads. With a few days in the mountains of Arnold Ca (just north of Yosemite) and the mountain range between Redding and Eureka.
So... Hook me up, what r some of u running for traction and how r u chaining up...fronts, rears, all 4, 1f & 1r ???
Thanx
