Show Me Your Chocks!
After Pete's unfortunate encounter with an unfriendly underside of his truck, I vowed to throw away my old, unused wheel chocks and get some real chocks that will do the job!
I sincerely hope that you all, too, are now using chocks every time you jack up or get under your trucks.
So, SHOW ME YOUR CHOCKS!
Here are mine:
Notice what they're made of?
Rubbber!
They smell like creosote!

I have 6 of these. 4 that stay in the camper and 2 stay in the garage. I used to use a pc of firewood or 2x4..
They work good. But wish i had the ones like you alls.. Folks said mine might slide on concrete or blacktop because they are plastic. But they haven't. but i understand how they could, i guess.
Got them off of ebay.. Walmart carries them also.
Another thing i practice is when using the jack i also use my jack stands.. I will jack up then install my jack stands as protection. I never go under with just the jack.. Plus I use a good floor jack. Not those Cheapos.

They must work! I remember them sticking to the ground very well. On concrete or pavement they wouldn't move an inch...
