There are two types of O/Os out there.... 1 is a person who runs the operation as a business and the other drives it as a hobby to see the sights etc..... I would hope that potential O/O's do not follow the hobby type of operation as written on this site.....

Get the ones with the cams so you have a lot of slack. Go through a dry run and put them on then trim the unneeded links off with a hacksaw.

I wouldn't worry too much about price. You will wear them out pretty quick and have to buy them wherever your at at the time.

Hey,....I have a truck,....and I drive it around the block once a week,......now before Fu#4ing Florida freezes,....I need some damn chains,.....I would expect some professional courtesy,....not sarcastic remarks from truck drivers who appear to spend more time online than driving :roll:

i'm home too
why on earth would you want to drive somewhere that requires chains?
you are talking extreme conditions
every daybreak
reveals last nights driving nightmare for some poor driver
not every truck makes it in that chain required neck of the woods
feel lucky?

I'm pretty sure some state require you to actually posses chains even if there isn't any snow yet. Mine are hung on my flatbed. I used U-Joint bolts and had them cut to make hangers. I think I posted a picture of them before.

Thats what I'm looking to do,....I don't plan on driving in conditions that need chains,...but I also don't want some AR DOT cop giving me crap about not having chains.
I grew up on a farm, and let me tell you,..I have had my fill putting chains on a 4wd tractor,....with 8' tall tires.
