Tip, when installing chain tensioners, have the hooks going out and not in. They have a tendency to pop tires when the sharp hooks rub on the tires. Hope this helps have a great day.
Kinda gets the point across. As an engineer that likes some USEFUL data, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to really give decent examples of the traction differences with and without (4th gear/2nd gear stuff, and showing the 2nd gear full throttle slippage amounts). Nice.
When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's my dad had a '56 Ford and used tire chains every winter. It seems the winters were more harsh back then in SE Ohio. In either the late 70's or early 80's we had a real snow strom which left us 27 inches of snow on the ground. My one neighbor had a V-8 Chevy long wheel base 4WD that was stuck in his driveway. My other neighbor came to his recue with his six cylinder 2WD short bed Chevy with tire chains and pulled the four wheel drive out with no trouble at all. I later owned the six cylinder 2wd truck, it was a 292 six cylinder with a four speed (granny gear) transmission, a real work horse.
I have these V bar chains for my 4X4. Run on all 4 wheels when we go play up the FSR's. Only way through the deep snow and over the rivers with any control. Tons of fun.
Yeah, I have the 2.4L in a 2003 Camry and the rear three head bolts stripped (one I just pulled straight out with my fingers without even turning it) @ 185K and obviously coolant was basically spraying out before the fix. I was pretty pissed. I don't buy Camrys to have to do major engine work at that mileage. And it was quite a bit more work than just the normal head gasket replacement. I also will NOT take the advice of doing all the tapping by hand next time, if there is one on another car. I think a potent hand drill with a slip clutch properly set would save a LOT of time and effort, at least once the tap is well started. I had to clear the taps like four times each and the tapping went DEEP, about 3 1/2" IIRC X 10 bolts, IIRC. A royal PIA. As an engineer I gotta say that if they can't get the damned threads to hold they need to steel insert them, or increase diameters in the design or come up with a through bolt design. Reading up on it it is not remotely a rare problem with many Al block/Al head engines, especially on that engine. It seems to me that Toyota is chintzing on the superb quality and reliability they used to produce, as my 91 Camry sure didn't do this. I have a TL with 310 K on it that STILL runs like new, uses no oil, the oil is still honey colored when changed, and at 300K, when for the first time I did ANYTHING to the engine and had to do the plenum and valve cover gaskets the engine looked like 70s engines I'd worked on with about 20K miles, almost no varnish staining, even, you could wipe it to shiny aluminum with a finger rub. Interiors and underhood plastic connector quality, though, Toyota is GREAT and Honda/Acura SUCKS, so there's that. The most surprising thing to me was the head checked flat after running like that...at least one good piece of very unexpected news. Toyota claimed there was some problem with the torque/angle settings at the factory. Yeah, right...if you believe that I've got a bridge ...
The video explanation is very good. I bought this renhotecic brand Tire chain not long ago. It is easy to install and has a good anti-skid effect. If you have troubles with your car, you can try it.
Back in 2008 when we had a severe ice storm here in Oregon, I made it just fine in a 1998 V6 ford mustang with good quality, properly installed chains on the rear tires. Never had any issues driving on a sheet of ice. Yet I saw so many AWD/4X4 vehicles stranded or upside down in a ditch. I just drove slow and avoided hills if possible.
Very good vid. I put chains on my ATV and it's simply amazing how much more traction you get, I've yet to get stuck. It adds about a 600% increase in traction I've heard. I installed the V-bar diamond pattern chains, they are more pricey but they make better contact with the ground and you don't feel the bumps like with the ladder style, which are still great!
Thanks for all the effort you went in to show us the demo. Im thinking of buying my first car. AWD is too pricey. So thinking if FWD coupled with these chains could do my job. May be 4-5 drives in the snow a year probably.
I often forget how rough some of us have it in the winter, in southeast TN we hardly ever have a day below 32° .... and that’s the “worst” of our winter. Only see snow once every decade or so, sometimes longer. Hope you’re doing well my friend 🤜🏻🤛🏻
You have seen nothing then. I live in Buffalo and that blizzard we had this Christmas was out of control. It was almost as bad as the blizzard of '77. It even made the news in Germany
Nothing beats chains on icy and packed snow roads. But be careful when stopping that the vehicle(s) behind of you ae stopping also and that they ae not going to un into you because they cannot stop.
Driving down a river, never saw that before. I used to joke that the 22R on the valve cover stood for 22 rats because that about how much power it had. Sold it at 175k to a guy that said he was driving it to the bottom of South America from Michigan.
I like the glory to God in your video brother. Give people some useful info and then give them something even better, the path to salvation through Christ, may God bless you and yours.
If your vehicle has only one rear drive tire, you can have two rear drive tires by engaging the parking brake JUST UNTIL the passenger tire engages and does not slip. Don't forget to release the parking brake when the passenger side needs to be passive.
I almost wrote this earlier. :-) I'm guessing you might have grown up in the seventies? I live in Central Florida, so not ice, but off roading in so called sugar sand up inclines (there are a few small ones in places) this can happen as well, especially on two wheel drive vehicles. The technique works very well if you have one tire that has much better traction that the other, like one off road and one on. Posies are better, too, for a lot of reasons, rain, illegal road racing (yes you could do it without risking the 'general public's' safety with a bit of thought, planning, and some lookouts well beyond the 'track' with headlight visual comms, which we always did. Other places were straight for so long in each direction you didn't even need that, at night, you could literally see them coming from a mile away, and most of the roads were VERY infrequently used. All that to preclude some car prude from jumping down my throat...maybe.
I use this trick to get unstuck on wet grass with my electric industrial cart ( all steel heavy duty cart with golf cart drive). Mechanical steering brakes would help because they allow you to lock up the spinning wheel.
When I lived in Idaho and drove a little Dodge Neon I often used chains. I got a lot of looks and laughs but only had it stuck once in very deep snow on a mountain road. No worries though, a huge group of snowmobilers came down the road and we lifted up the car and turned it around. Lol those were good times.
Hi It's encouraging that your promoting salvation & that its a FREE gift from God. When I make comments on FB, I do the same. PTL!!,that your another believer!!
Nice video, I'm thinking of making a set for my dually it has about 36 in tires so maybe a modified semi truck set could work. Impressed how much traction your truck had
ADVICE from Maine'r..You can use studded tires as well on ALL 4 of your vehicle. Big plus. CHAINS work wonderful. Only use at LOWER speeds & always CHECK/INSPECT chains because they can come loose when least expected. They will wrap up & be miserable mess. Trust me i know. Chains are great for plowing OR going thru woods OR going to town to get supplies. Be very careful & make sure they are on correct & inspect often.... If your going to grandma's house for turkey dinner in a blizzard. PERFECT. If you going 40-100+ miles. Id suggest studded tires... Try using 1 (2) rollaway handjacks & it takes me 20mins to put on. Remember INSPECT them twice closely when you 1st put them on like he did in video. Happy Wintah from Maine
I am sure alot of people can use your video right now for tips and tricks. Esp out in Texas. To be honest I thought 4wd or AWD was enough but with ice the chains do really really good. I guess I should always have an pair just in case.
4WD and AWD are great options. However, watch a few videos comparing both systems with and without snow tires or chains. The tires really make a difference. And, as seen here, chains can help even on ice.
not sure, but I think I saw the hooks on the tensioning springs facing into the tire sidewall. Are the hooks supposed to be facing outward to reduce the chance of damaging the tire sidewall?
Yes he did he clearly showed the tire chains breaking the tire, as for the *BRAKES* he did not show the pedal or how he was using them, I would presume you brake slowly just like in the snow
I had a PreRunner Tacoma 2WD w/ rear locker. That thing really went thru some deep snow, i put 200lbs in the bed during winter and put chains on before i attempted deep snow or snow drifts on the lake
@@arieswg156 My dad had one like that, a black single cab! Loved that truck, but it was literal hell in summer... Dark gray interior... no a/c. The seat belt buckles were like lava! X3
I remember as a little boy my dad would put these on his tires before he bought a 4×4 truck. Our winters use to be much worse in Ohio when I was young. And I remember our police cars having the chains on their tires!
You mentioned the V block chain was upside down, yes it's upside down but it's not installed wrong, that happens a lot you just flip the V block chain through the one next to it and it'll sit right.
Thank you for the excellent proof that the v's bite into the ice for improved traction. Note: The Bible also say, he who loves me follows my commands. One must love Jesus to be saved.
Missed the biggest test of all - rolling at about 25 mph and slam the brakes on, how many feet to stop (measured with a tape). first test just chains on the back- second test chains on both front and back. Does the truck slid straight or slide into a spin. that is what i want to see.
Yep. With my 4WD vehicles I have now, if I need to chain up its time to stay home LOL. I mean its not too bad installing/removing them, but I have no place I really need to go to that bad, including work. If I need chains to go to work, I don't feel it necessary to go to work at that point, and most of the people I work with are driving 2WD cars so if I need chains on my 4x4, they're not going to get to work at all LOL.
I live in the Columbia gorge&one section of I-84 between Pendleton and LaGrande has been closed for an accident almost every single day for the last 2 weeks! I'm thinking every single person that didn't have chains on is feeling a LOT more pain than having had them on!
I was going up Avery minor grade on ice in an Olds Cutlass, where it simply lost traction. I had to get out take a tire tool and bust a path to get going again. But a long bed small Toyota truck, it never had the first bit of problem. Also in that car, going down hill, it lost traction and I went down the hill sideway. Little Toy truck had no problem. Which an Olds has a light rear end,but so did the truck. I mean the little Toy didn't have the first bit of trouble.
This is like a classic instructional UA-cam video. No annoying music, just outdoor ambient noise, a voice, and that's it. Beautiful.
palate cleanser from the bloated trash videos we get today

Very nice tip that can save hundreds of dollars on tires and tire repairs. 🇬🇷
True but they make the chains tighter if you put them the other way
How

Hooray for a guy who knows how to put on tire chains-
Ain’t many of us left, ya know-
It’s just a tire chain .
@@pedrorubio950 tell that to a truck driver
Studded tires.. and if you live in a province that bans them, you probably don't need 'em.
Well, some of us know, but this guy doesn’t.
Those wood ramps?
Just drape the chains as you want them over the wheel then drive forward a bit.
3:40 Those tightener attaching hooks are backwards. Tire poppers.
Impressive, far superior ice traction to any 4x4 with rubber.
Getting these and I live in Texas, that winter storm last year froze over all the roads. Looking to be a regular year thing it seems.
U don't really need those with a 4x4 I mean they help with traction but u will get a to be with 4x4
I live in Texas. Where is there any indication that it “ looks to be a regular thing” ? Silly
@@shawnkhan3843 ice is ice my dude, having 4x4 won’t change that you’re driving on ice.
Did they help you this time around?
@@RollingxBigshot yeah a solid layer of ice a 2wd with chains will out perform any 4wd without chains
Excellent demonstration! And did not know about the older chains having barbs that should contact the ice. Great assistance block as well. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
They are called V bar style chains. Good for ice. You can buy new or old ones.
I liked your chain ramps to be able to apply and adjust the chains.

Lol pretty ballsy of you shredding the ice up on frozen lake
theres obliviously lots of ice. whats balsy about it ?

Very good, but omg you are putting yourself in danger! Dont take chances like that. Ice can break when you least expect it.
You must not be around ice much.
That little pond is probably frozen all the way through to the dirt
I was really impressed at how well they worked in the deep snow, right through a snow drift! It probably helps to have limited slip in the snow eh?
This help me alot in my 3rd semester exam. Thanks!
Those chain might poke a hole on the tires 🛞 I don’t feel safe
The truck also appears to have the optional limited slip differential which helps especially with chains.
Love the good news injected.
Amen brother

Those are some nice snow chains. Here in Europe you can get mainly only the regular ones :-/

No traction is no traction, it's always Best to drive slow.
I see Toyota 22RE, I click like.
Man.... are you not afraid to go underwater?
When he bends down to see the ice marks it seems pretty shallow. But with ice and water who knows
I think where he at the ice is thicker than the water below it is deep..
Amen to the awesome message of salvation we need even more than traction on the slippery roads! God bless you and keep you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for making this video.
not sure, but I think I saw the hooks on the tensioning springs facing into the tire sidewall. Are the hooks supposed to be facing outward to reduce the chance of damaging the tire sidewall?
The subtitles interpreted the noise of the chains as “foreign music” haha
And amen!
I like those chains, heavier but with how much metal there is to grip ice probably worth it!
Yes praise the Good Lord for a beautiful day for sure. don't be driving on that ice in the middle of the sunny day! Ice might be trying to melt some
I'm in Texas, know absolutely nothing about snow and ice, but that was pretty neat.
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Amen and that was a good video, keep the word coming, and keep your traction
My step dad made sure we could change tires and attach our own chains. Make sure the bee barbs connect to the road surface.
Just pass both ends of the chains between the "upside down cross link and the one next to it and it should straighten out, it's just twisted.
great blocks to attach chains and thanks for the reminder of how to break the chains of sine through Christ !
No, you don't have your cross chain on backward, you have a twist on your side chains.
Fantastic little truck there.
Heavenly father? That's country folk for ya
You didn't check the breaks
Yes he did he clearly showed the tire chains breaking the tire, as for the *BRAKES* he did not show the pedal or how he was using them, I would presume you brake slowly just like in the snow
You should fit chains to the front wheels as well, even if they’re undriven. That way, you have more control over steering.
I had a PreRunner Tacoma 2WD w/ rear locker. That thing really went thru some deep snow, i put 200lbs in the bed during winter and put chains on before i attempted deep snow or snow drifts on the lake

I know alot of cities outlawed tire chains because they tear up the roads but they are a lot better on ice than all weather or snow tires.
They must not use salt where you are. That’s a really clean truck.
God I hate road salt so much
I love how there are cracks all under that ice and this man makes a tire chain test video on it lolololol

@@wildbill23c I like your thinking .
How long does it take to put chains on?
@ Josiah. A good start would be 5 mins per tire. You'll get faster after that.
