I should replace my chains, they are rusty and thin. Thanks for the reminder.

[SideShow Bob]

I would need a new pair of shorts after that.
They better buy a lotto & power ball ticket with the luck they have.

[Irving]

I should contact them and see if they are interested in the pull behind my wife is trying to sell...

Make sure you don’t twist your chains to shorten them, it can reduce the breaking strength by more than 75%.

[Irving]

I thought it was required to twist the chains.

[00tec]

I thought it was required to twist the chains.

Required to cross them.

People commonly twist them up if they are too long to avoid dragging them.

[Irving]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I'll have to get a better set and set it up right. I only have a small utility trailer, but still.

do that. Last thing you need is a trailer coming loose. Throwing a shoddily secured ladder, on the roadway.

Nice "journalist jacket".

Was heading down to CO Springs many years ago to buy a roll bar. On i25, in high winds, a Suburban, was pulling a travel trailer. An 18 wheeler passes on the left. Wind doing wind shit causes the trailer to swerve back and forth. The Suburban and trailer end up doing a full on crosswise roll over in front of me. Two full rolls. They were shaken but all right.

I bought the roll bar that day and never looked back.
