WOW chains!!!!

i bought a pair of chains for the runner and took them out for a test run today!!!! The infamous hill climb i always fail on was a breeze. These things are knarley, but most of all i am tired of getting burried with my mtr's. 35inch chains work great in the mud and tree roots. i plan on going snow camping this weekend and see what happens!!!!!!!!

the sparks fly and these things eat tree roots like candy it's awesome!!
!!


everyone should have a set.

Thats awesome are you using full size chains or the diamond pattern chains ?

BTW TSL's eat mud roots and snow but the its road manners are horriable

i was running 36inch bias ply tsl's and they spilled my coffee every morning on the way to work. I traded a co-worker for a brand new set of 35 inch MTR's and they are more my style. the backspacing on his wheels work better anyways. i got the chains at schwabby's on clearance!!

they stay tight when i start spinning too. although i did get a log wedged out back and it popped one of the cinchers loose. no big deal, it spit right out and i cranked them back tight.

i think i am ready for a rear locker now. many deals out there????
