Back in October i had to deploy the cables for the first time-- was at
8500ft in the Uinta Mts south of Evanston WY in my 84 gl which had
never felt so 2WD before.  They worked REALLY  good... was thick wet
snow on a dirt road up in a national forest.  While navigating
carefully out sometimes we would get stuck and stop, but the brick's
weight and spinning rear wheels would just dig on down 'til forward
velocity was re-acheived.

was VERY loud and vibrational on the plowed paved highway though.
good luck/ sp
