The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Don't know who that's directed at, I don't drive a Jeep...But "low clearance" of a vehicle is relatively irrelavant in terms of chains as I understand it. The clearances have more to do with the all the important steering/braking/etc lines that are on the front axle.
I also contend that the manufacturers recommendation to not put chains on the front axle is due to most vehicles are standard FWD or RWD (not 4wd). Particularly as it pertains to the 4Runner, since 4wd is an added option, the manual is written to be universal for all 4Runners. Therefore the recommendation to not put chains on the rear axle, only, is for standard equipped 4Runners that are RWD.
