Chains?

[squeekieslayer]

I carry a full set year round in mine. Plus I almost always have a set for my trailers.

Why would you have a set for your trailer??

Because he lives in CA and that's a law there if your trailer has electric brakes.

I have chains for my trailers too - because I tow in CA sometimes.

I keep them in my truck. A lesson I learned as a youth. "Chains can get you out of or into a lot of trouble" - my dad on one of my first muzzy deer hunts as we crawled out of a canyon in his 73 powerwagon throwing giant mudballs on the hood after a freak November rainstorm in Idaho.

I seem to just get stuck further in when i have chains... making it even harder to get pulled out hahaha

When you come down the road from Gibson Reservoir and the road is icy it won't seem like overkill.

I live in Washington.

Chaining the trailer makes stopping much safer.

Saved my bacon last Oct in the Bighorns--pulled out several people that didn't have them.

Actually pulled a F350 hooked up to a horse trailer loaded up out several miles to the main road.

Vbar chains will be in the truck every trip into the mountains from now on.

Chains are a life safer. I would never go into the woods in N Idaho with out them or a chainsaw.

I have some for my plow truck at my house and if I went north to the Brooks Range in mid-late Sept or later I would for sure have some.

That said after helping you put them on your truck last fall I gotta say whatever brand you have for your truck are super handy for going on/off super quick!

Far from overkill if your hauling heavy.

Well Ryan? What you running?
I am looking at the RUD Grip 4x4.

The road clearing services here in Oregon are shite, and they are sometimes "required". I've never had to put them on, but have a set in my Jeep anyway. However, a chainsaw is a must.

I keep a set of 4 chains in my truck during my late Elk hunt in Oregon. The roads are usually icy and snowy, but there are also places with lots of thick mud (tire chains, not just for snow).

I also have a 12k winch on the front of the truck if things get really bad.
