If only it had a central tire inflation system like an S&S LMTV.

Not needed. This beauty has AIR HOSE NIPLES......everywhere.

Looks like a gimmick to avoid using full chains, I don't see how they can perform like full chains off road in mud and snow.

Joe917....thank you very much for that informative video! Perfect.

Beautiful truck OP, GLWS.

Thanks for posting the snow chain deployment system. Better to have than not have when that moment comes!

I've seen this system used on buses in Tahoe where they seem popular. FWIW

That is a very nice truck. Those permanently mounted snow chains seem pretty cool. I’ve never used that type of system. Anyone have experience with this system? I read where these can be bolted onto garbage trucks, buses and any vehicles that have to go out on iced roads no matter the conditions. Can you imagine just pushing a button to demand/ call up your snow chains because you just stopped going up hill on black ice? Then when no longer needed, hit button again and snow chains are pulled into the storage position again.

I work as a paramedic and many of our response vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances) have on spot chains. They work ok in certain situations. The wheel must be moving for the chains to be under the tires. The best use I have found is just getting started on slippery firm ground. The stowed position is not very far out of the way and I have seen a few damaged by rural driveways. I would not put these on any rig to be used overland.
