snow romp!

[Jt]

Please excuse the quality of the video, this is my first time editing, or even posting a vid. I would like to hear what you guys are using for editing progams, and is there a better place than photobucket to upload them, as I think that is part of the quality issue I am having. Looks a lot better from my PC file.
Thats enough talk enjoy! 🙂

might have to look into making some chains

Making the chains is real easy and cheap, I would recommend it to anybody that gets the snow to use them.

Looks like a blast man. I hope we get some snow out this way then you can send me some chains seeing I'm too lazy to make em just yet!!

 

[vash1774]

I can't wait until it snow now. Then it will be time to break some more parts.

That truck is ready for a plow or a snow thrower! Can't believe how well it got around.

When I got done with that tank of fuel lets just say I didn't need to shovel the driveway; it was cleared enough by the savage and the tire chains.:satan:

I like the style of music they do, how many people have you seen head bang :evilrocker: while playing a cello? I like their take on Edvard Grieg -In the Hall of the Mountain King also. I have been listening to Apocolyptica since 1998, I cant get enough of the classical twist on metal/rock. Glad you liked it, maybe next vid will be anothr selection from them. 😉

sweetness!!

 

[Chaos]

Very cool vid..amazing how that truck would take off in the snow with those chains on.I LIKE IT!!!!!!

 

[SMaxxin]

Excellent video, I can't believe how well it goes. The chains work a lot better than I thought they would.

 

[samisavage]

Way cool, looked like my savi with paddles on all four at the dunes just a blur with an occasional hint o color.

 

[X25]

Sorry I didn't see your question sooner. The chain I got from the local hardware store. I just figured what length I needed to go across the tire and took a close measurement of the the length needed to go on the sides of the tires. I made one to where I liked how it looked and was spaced then used that for a pattern counting links of cross bars and links between them on the side chains.
Then walla tire chains. I made it a bit tight so there was no slipping whatsoever, and they worked real well.

 

[R6 DADDY]

how you fasten them together and how do you get them off

 

[Jt]

I fastened them together by opening the links up with pliers and hooking the cross chains where it needs to be then just close that link back up. I have one link on the outside and inside chains that is split enough to remove the chains from the tires.
