Got a BUNCH of rusty tire chains, that are shedding every
time I move them.

Got citric acid for derusting, now just need something to
keep them from rusting again.

Dip application, and preferably won't cover me whith slime
every time I have to move 'em into or out of vehicle.


thanks

Hook em up to the rear bumper of your car and drag em a few miles down
a gravel road. Works great for cleaning them (and chain) up.

Then store em in 50 cal ammo cans with a spritz of LPS-3 before
closing them up. Lable the cans for the chain size and voila! Bobs
your uncle.

Ive kept my tire chains that way for decades. Works very well.

Tire chains in Southern California....... In the high desert......


They have other uses than just traction on ice & snow.

But..we use em for traction on ice and snow.

The large mountain pass between the Central Valley and the LA basin
gets on average about 50,000 big trucks alone per day.


Of course but they can be used to pull a car out of a ditch or most
other jobs that you need a mediu grade chain for, and it has a built in
spare. ;-)

True enough. But I carry a 25' chain all the time.

Why would you want to get within 25 foot of a frothing liberal who
needs pulled out of a ditch? ;-)

I suspect that Gunner would only offer to help normal, or normal
appearing, people. Raving loons, or frothy liberalth - in the words
of the Old Philosopher "Stay away. Stay very far away."

"This is the chain of command. It is the chain I beat you with
until you follow my commands."

Question for the gun Control advocates, "Do you agree with
this statement?"
"I would rather have a society without guns, even if it
means that people cannot defend themselves against murder
(with other weapons), rape, robbery, and assault. I would
rather make everyone defenseless than have to endure the
mass shootings that occasionally occur. If that means that
many more people, (particularly the old, the weak, and the
infirm) are subjected to these violent crimes, then so be
it. They'll just have to suffer more. I do claim the power
to dictate whether or not others are able to defend themselves."
