run the chains in the rear, because we are gonna make that Tracloc work.

tracloc? not a locker.  there are a few additives you can put in your diff to lock it up solid.  i believe one concoction that works well is a handful of bolts (assorted sizes) and a banana peel.  something about the potassium and added metal locking that puppy up solid.


and i think he means try em on before you go, so when you get there, you know how to install them, and you know they fit, so he's not waiting for you to put em on. 

afterall, you don't wanna be out there too long; gotta get back for boxing day shopping!

I think he's saying to know how to install the chains ahead of time so everyone isn't standing in tue cold waiting for others,while they figure it out.
Tracklocks don't really count Rob, they rarely work properly.  Lol.
Getting grumpier every day.

What I'm saying is that if you're working on figuring out how to install your chains while the rest of the group is airing down, the rest of the group will be at Four Corners by the time that you realize that we've all left and you take your chains off for the drive back to Cochrane. Based on what I've seen in some of the spots that I want to visit on this run, chains will be an absolute requirement to get your ZJ through. To be honest, even with those chains on, you're still falling short of the requirements that I outlined - you may want to consider picking up or borrowing a second set for your front tires.

And Apeman and Johnny are spot-on....trash-lock is not a locker.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
