i use cucvs for the 819, i was contemplating on getting a deuce to use as chocks for the 8x8, but being that the 8x8 is sold, all the planed 8x8 expenses are no longer planed

yea i got the tractor supply ones they are good....also if you put the truck in low gear it may start when rolling because it will be easyer for the transmission to turn the motor, and if you dont leave the kill t handle pulled all the way out it may start........just an idea

you have to be carefull leaving the e brake on in the winter it will freeze and then you are not going anywhere if you leave it in gear make sure the engine stop cable is pulled out you dont want it to start if it gets bumped by another car

i think unimogs would be better chocks for the 819 since they are gutless and light enough to keep in your tool box

I just have a couple big pieces of split firewood I use. Much cheaper than buying blocks.

I use telephone poles cut down. Kinda funny, as I have a bunch of new military chocks.

The rubber chocks aren't worth the time it takes to put them behind a wheel of anything larger that a medium size trailer.

Best course would to be the cast aluminum chocks as made/sold by Kochek for the fire service. If you what to go 1st class go with Zico folding chocks.

My eyes hurt now

These are the ones I use. They are metal with diamond plate on the bottom for grip. Handles are built in. Painted them yellow so they can be seen.

I tried using a couple of neighborhood "gangsta's" but they are weak, slimy, and worthless.

 

[badgmc56]

USAFSS, I like your way of thinking!

 

[cessnatwin]

I live in lousy as* florida and I still chock mine in the driveway, because it pays for paying for the neighbors crap just in case! Do it, what can it hurt!

I use a piece of 6x6 wood I cut down to an angle, I put it under the tire with the angled face down. I've tested it under my deuce on my sloped driveway with no parking brake, and then in reverse. I 'could' have ran over it, but that was more than it would ever suffer normally. I tied a nylon strap around it to make it easy to put out of the bed, and from under the tire. I personally wouldn't leave a deuce in gear. It will start in gear (I dont know about low range xfer case), and if you happened to forget, or if somebody else starts your truck for some reason, it will go forward despite that parking brake. Also if a deuce gets bumped somehow, say rear-ended?, a deuce can start and will go forward.

The Seabees used 4x4s or 6x6s depending on the truck. Almost always painted yellow and 2 of them tied together. A Seabee better never forget to chock his truck or he will finding himself (herself) wearing the chocks around the neck all day as a painful and humiliating reminder.
