I use to own a 1987 Toyota 4-Runner and always chained up all four tires. I now own a 2002 Tacoma. I was ticked when I discovered that chains would not fit on the front. They would hit the tie rod or whatever it is. I ended up solving the problem by putting spacers between the wheel and the drum. I have done some pretty heavy duty four wheeling in mud and snow with chains on this way and it has worked fine. However I keep being told that this will cause major damage. Does anyone know: is the damage they are refering to caused by what would have happened if the chains didn't clear, or is there potential other damage that will/can occur if chains are used? And why I'm at it, Why in the hell are they designing 4-wheel drive trucks that can't accomodate chains? Thank you
