    Tell me what tire chains to buy. Again...

    I'm not tracking what you guys are saying about adequate clearance. I have a 2014 2500 ram, no lift. I'm thinking i would have enough clearance but no idea if I've got it right or not...would I need these spacers you guys are mentioning?

    New to elk hunting

    ...function is your friend; That being said I’m guessing you’re not use to the mountains. I’ll start. Boots will make or brake your hunt. Tire chains, even if you’re just going to a high country trail head, Shovel. Ive only hunted Colorado a couple of times, spend most of my time in Oregon and...

    Tell me what tire chains to buy. Again...

    I have the v-bars style as well. You can easily look up actual chain on a site such as this … Tire Chains-Best Snow Chains-TireChains.com. I have yet to use mine, but they are with me whenever I head west. Just be careful that you have adequate clearance. I have to use wheel spacers to get the...

    Tire guru's I need help. Yes, another tire thread....

    I am buying a new set of A/T tires for my new to me Tacoma. I am honestly surprised at how hard it is for me to decide which tire to buy. My questions are: 1. How much of a difference in ride quality am I going to see between a load range D and a load range E, all other things being equal...

    Tire chains for truck

    I'd look into changing that out first personally. Chains only help so much when only one tire on the rear is spinning...

    who carries a chainsaw?

    Any mountain hunt we have a chain saw and pull chain, in the truck. We will mostly carry it on the 4wheelers too. Also, shovel, tire chains, and Energy Recovery too.

    Tire guru's I need help. Yes, another tire thread....

    I wouldn't think the extra sidewall height would be an issue for chains. Its only a bit more than a centimeter. But I could be wrong. Sometimes the bag the chains came in will list the tire sizes they will fit.

    2014 Ram 1500 Options to Use Chains

    I've had the truck for 2 years now and really like it. I am in need of tire chains for both front and rear. I started researching chains and immediately starting reading about lack of clearance for chains. I looked at my truck to verify this, and sure enough, clearance is an issue both front and...

    Tell me what tire chains to buy. Again...

    Yup, it looks good. Cams and tensioner combo should ensure a tight fit. The way to tell if they are on in the right direction is that the open end of the hooks on the traction chains should be facing outward (away from the tire sidewall) where they connect to the tensioner chain.

    WY Mud Roads

    Ah... far cheaper and lighter than chains. I will have to try and figure out how to accomplish this. For some reason, I can't picture how to attach the 2x to the tire.

    '21 Elk in Wy

    ...been stranded for a day or two in the area we were hunting. I never forget the chainsaw now, even if I'm hunting antelope lol. As far as tire chains, make sure you get a spider bungie for them. I ended up needing mine in the Missouri Breaks after waking up to some snow turned mud after truck...

    FWIW there may not even be enough room for chains up front even with a lift. You may also need to change the spacing (wheel offset) to push the wheel/tire away from steering and suspension components.

    Best tire option in snow for a 2wd

    I have a 2wd ram 1500. Haven't gotten stuck, but getting up places like Berthoud pass in the winter can be quite puckering at times. Im not getting a new truck anytime soon, so upgrading to a 4wd is off the table. Would you get good AT tires like a KO2, studded tires, or just carry chains and...

    WY Mud Roads

    Chains on tires aren't exactly savers in mud. Their main help is with traction in snow and ice. Yes it does help in mud a bit as in mud your tire threads get caked shut and the chains will give you something for grip but even the chains can build up with mud. Basically if there is a road...

    Being a Man in the Modern World

    Some of these posts also bring up great points about what IS NOT being passed along through the generations. I raised three daughters by myself since their preteens; each of them has thanked me over the years for teaching them such simple things as checking their oil, changing a tire, putting on...

    out of state advice

    Hey thank you, this is great advice. I generally keep a lot of this stuff in my car in winter anyway, so just adding a few more things that you've mentioned will round out my gear needs I think. I've got a game cart that I'll bring, so I can def get an animal to my car and field dress it on my...

    Mountain bike repair questions

    From a pure investment standpoint, I don't want to invest in something where I am spending 30% of the bike's MSRP doing routine maintenance like replacing cables, housing, and chains. If I were buying a new bike, I would look for something with a 1x crankset, good tire clearance for + tire...
