Default On Spot chains
Has anyone put a set of on spot drop down chains on there Truck?

The on spot takes the place of the tire chains, you flip a switch on the dash and they drop down and swing under your tires to give you traction.

You can find them on most fire trucks but the company also makes them for the 1/2 ton trucks and up.

I just googled them. http://www.onspot.com/ It's a great idea. But it just looks like lots of moving parts that just want to break IMO.
