What have you done to your car today?

[ODB]

I picked uP a set of great diamond type chains for the truck for about $30- superb score!

[spark_38]

The top ones with the purple bits look like the "Snowsweat" ones, made right here in Lower Hutt, NZ.

Those are the straight ladder ones, the diamond and 4x4 ones are a lot more rugged - but really annoying to assemble, as you can't get twists in the chain.

I used to work for Superior Industries - they are all hand assembled, and checked.

I've also spotted them at Supercheap, same ones with the snowsweat clasp, but repackaged/branded.

Snowsweat chains are all good with just the straight ladder... just make sure they are on real tight and if you feel it sliding you give it some jandal!!! Just gotta make sure you don't lock up on the way down with no chain touching the ground

and this is how u end up in the ditch

the Ladder type chains are dangerous and should be band on all skifield access roads

Sounded worse than what i meant... I don't mean do skids all the way up the ski field roads, just that if you lose traction you need to accelerate to ensure the chains/ladders make connection with the ground. If your driving sensibly and have experience on how to drive with them (and they are good for tight budgets too) ladder chains are fine (although if you haven't used chains before then you would be silly to NOT use the diamond pattern)

AND BACK TO THREAD TOPIC: Got new battery not long ago ready for cold mornings (old one was definitely not good haha) and got all my gauges in properly, now just have to wait for next oil change to put in the senders so they actually have a reading on the gauges!!
