    Phil carries them permanently but id be surprised if anyone else had any. They are pretty pointless for this type of snow to be honest. Chains work very well for breaking ice packed on bitumen but make no real advantage in heavy snow. When the snow gets deep and heavy your back to big footprint. 35 x 12.5 tyres. ATs are ok and wheel spin is your enemy.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Agree, I carry mine for frictionless surfaces where the only way thru is to chug your way across the surface. I have found them useless in snow full stop, and on the very rare times its got icy it was a case of slow right down as the patches are small.

    Next year Gents, mark it down. Looking at the weather prediction for this week the snow falls have dropped right off, so we fluked it big time I reckon.The season is not over and I am sure there will still be snow around at that elevation - 1500m for a little while yet.

    Ta man , those 80series I was parked behind was the big group that went past as we came out that side rd , there was about 10 or so Toyotas of varying descriptions , old mate at the front put it in the drain & tried to drive it out - went about 100mts then ended up right angles to the rd at a culvert , as there was plenty of them there I went past & smiled & waved 😏
