Sweet Chocks from Chocks.com

Editor - We received some real sweet Chocks from Chocks.com today, These are lightweight but built like a Abram's tank and rated at 30% grade with both used. Solid Bottom meets the Forest Sevice requirements these Chocks are just too Sweet!

The brackets supplied seem ok but will need some re-work for off road Tactical Water Tender use so that the Chocks are properly secured from theft and off road use.

Got to get em' mounted and then we will update after they get the workout, That I am sure they will get this Fire season out here in the West.
