    If your "extra crazy" you can double the cross chains to create MORE consistent traction. I have done this for my skidloader chains. Additonally, with your over sized rims you might be able to use an emergency chain. Which are quicker.
    On the black ice (and reg ice) you can go 2-3x faster with cables. They are nice to have in your arsenal ...AND they would clear your rear spring issue . SSC brand is what we generally use.

    Tim i feel you have kinda understated the importance of "being prepared" fueling up at nearly every chance, having a very good stockpile of food, having chains for the truck [i feel chaining up one axle on the trailer would have been prudent] and being very cautious. you drove on roads in conditions that kill people and made it through safely. great content and keep it coming!!!

    I drove that same bend on 99 this past April - that was scary without snow! A bit further on, there were very steep climbs and drops - pretty sure my brakes were failing on one slope, and I had to pulse and pull over to cool them off. Beautiful scenery, if you make it out.

    Just found your channel, brings back some memories. In 1989 I was in the military and got stationed in Alaska from Texas, packed up a pick up with extra gas, 4 extra tires and a quad and head up in January ready for the adventure. Was a great time tell the truck got flipped upside down in the Yukon and couldn’t even dig out the quad took about 3 hours tell someone came by, got it flipped back over and proceeded on tell the an axle snapped about 100 miles from my destination, towed it in and drive back out almost 4 years to the day later, I guess I didn’t learn my lesson. Needless to say the trip down to the lower 48 was more enjoyable as I had no problems thank goodness. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos, great job and thanks for the great content.

    Black ice is everywhere in the shaded areas of the mountains in winter. Add the long ascents and descents. Strongly suggest driving during the daylight hours if possible. Most importantly take your time. Go over an embankment and you might not get spotted till spring or summer. Good luck.
