Todays muck around

[pano-dude]

I carry my chains in a 5 gallon bucket with a 4'x4' tarp to lay on. Makes it a little more friendly to lay on the ground.

Ive had a few near miss's over the years. Sliding down hills backwards ext.

And came to the conclusion that carbides are cheaper than trucks and if i have to ride a bit of gravel is what it is....

. It’s always drove me nuts. Most people drive their truck up the mountain until they get stuck and then turn around and park when you could parked lower down. Lol.

I like the idea of the tarp. I use a heavy duty plastic dish pan as it is a little easier than the pail.

They fit. Happy to see that.

The V bar ones for the rear

The plain chain for the fronts. Unfortunately my tires rub without chains on tight corners so I'll have to be mindfull should I ever choose to use the front ones.

Turn those bungies around so the point of the hook is pointed away from the tire.

They leak onto the back seat carpet. Gotta keep the F350 clean and tidy.

Thanks. Will do. Never even gave that any thought.

I use a plastic ammo box from cabelas. Fits a pair nicely but you have to dry them out well after use

I have been using these totes for the past 10 years. Have not cracked in the cold, keeps everything together and dry. One for the chains (in separate sandbag bags), tarp, bungee cords and chain tightener tool. The other one for the emergency kit, tow rope, shackles and hitch platform with clevis.

That's all I'm using. Got a few of them under the deck of the truck.
One with spare sled parts
One with coolant, oil, miscellaneous fuilds
Now One with the chains.

A tarp or something to lay on is a great idea.
I'll have to see what I have and toss it in.

bought one of those blanket couple weeks ago for 16.00 on sale for my Traeger smoker to use it in the winter works great and no plastic clips to melt like the expensive ones

In case you’re TOO soft, this blanket is fibreglass. If touching fibreglass makes you itchy, this may not be your best friend. We have a welder that absolutely cannot touch the welding blankets without gloves.
You might be wearing gloves, but if you’re laying down, is the back of your neck covered or any other parts of your skin?

 

[sirkdev]

thanks for the heads up, nobody likes the itch!

Just picked this up off the Winch Doctor today. 125' of Rope on it.
Warn M12.
Just waiting for Adrenaline Bumpers to finish my new front bumper, then I can mount it all on my 2007 1 ton.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Just on a not so steep stuck like we got into at hunters.

I just built hangers on my sled rig for my chains.

Ya the only time it gets washed is when the alders knock the dirt off. 1983 f250 with a 6.9 diesel. Super simple truck. Don’t think I would want it as a highway truck though. It just lives at my cabin and only runs logging roads.

Cabin in the hills is part of the setup i need also. Haha
