Has anyone figured out how to safely put on chains on the front tires of a 3rd Gen (1998) T4R?
My manual says to only put them on the rear. I talked to a guy with a Tacoma and he put tire chains on the front tires and the extra links after you tighten the chains ripped out his break lines - yikes!!
I thought of finding a way to secure the extra links of the tire chains on the inside of the tires with zip ties or a chain link that has one side that is threaded so it can retract, attach to two links and then be the opening in the link can be closed with a the threaded sleeve. It kind of looks like a locking carabiner or locking d-ring.. Any thoughts?
I had a very scary experience off-roading when I lost steering due to by front tires being too clogged with mud. So I am trying to find a solution. What are your thoughts??
