And neither does an immaginary situation at a truck stop where a small patch of ice would stick a truck that had a big bag of kitty litter and a bottle of clorox...I also carry a 50lb bag of ice melt...And I think the "making" a make shift tire chain a great idea if you're maybe a flatbedder who has a small scrap yard of parts sitting around , but just carrying around a pair of cheap chains is much more viable ,and better advice .

Isn't that what she said???

get yourself a couple of lengths of sturdy chain, long enough to go through the rim and wrap around the tire. get 2 shackle bolts.

use these on the back outside drives when you get stuck in one of those docks that are lower at the back than the front, or on a frozen puddle in a parking lot when you're trying to get under a trailer.
Now, the real question is...do you EVER make a post without trying to put someone down? Hell, she said the same thing you are...and you first dismiss it as unneccessary...only to admit you DO THE SAME THING. And when you admit that, you attack AGAIN...wrongfully asserting that it was intended to FIND a chain when you get stuck, and not carry one to begin with.

Why don't you just go ELSEWHERE? You don't seem to be adding anything to the conversation here...You seem to be trying to be another BigDiesel...the difference is HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!issedoff:

Well N.C. is now officaly in the Western half of the U.S. because the Rev has spoken...Which will make easier for Werner, Swift, And other large carrier drivers to finally get that load going out west when they get tired of running the East coast for weeks .

You've clearly never been at the Petro in Sturtevant, WI in the dead of winter. There's no such thing as "a small patch of ice" there. You've also clearly never been on uneven ice, where the water froze in the process of flowing.

North Carolina is on the East coast. The hot air coming out of his mouth travels clear around the Earth, picking up moisture along the way.*:clap:








*in reality, I thought golfhobo was out on the West coast. I never bothered, nor did I ever care, where he actually lived.:thumbsup:

Anyone who has been stuck on ice would also know how difficult it can be to get a full set of chains around a tire once you are already stuck. The solution presented (which you shot down) would work where a conventional set of chains wouldn't.

Never had a problem chaining a stuck tire on ice...I simply took my sledge hammer and beat the chain under the tire so it grabs when tire moves... In the words of Blade- Some mother Fu@33rs are always trying to ice skate up hill ...LOL
