I might be in some trouble then.

Chains can get you out of trouble. But, they can definitely get you into trouble also. mtmuley

another posibility could be tire socks ,,believe it or not,they work pretty good in snow,,just dont let them freeze to the ground,,if they are snug they may work on the fronts,,ball upper ball joint clearance is tight though.id only run real chains on the rear axle.

Never put chains on the front of my 98 and carry them daily for the back.
I did have to dig out of a drift last winter. But I also had a shovel.

Always have a little E tool type shovel in the truck but Will make sure to bring a big boy shovel this time. I don't even own a snow shovel.

Back when I had a bone stock Taco, I used some good V-Bars on the rear with plenty of clearance but the front didn't have room as many pointed out. You may be able to find some low clearance cables but knowing when to quit while you're ahead is probably better than tearing up steering components. There are situations where you don't have a choice but actively avoiding those situations is worth saving the headache.

Plus, no Taco is complete without at least 1 set of traction boards mounted to the side

Having spent more of my life than I care to admit chasing drilling rigs with all four tires chained up with v-bars I will echo what others have said; unless there is a D9 waiting to drag you the rest of the way out, chains are for self rescue.

With that said, some of the modern low profile designs are pretty awesome. https://www.konigchain.com/shop/au-en/konig-xg-12-pro-1.html

Fire shovel.

If you run 235/85-r16 tires you can run standard chains on the front of your Tacoma without damaging anything.

Anyone tried taking a v-bar link or two out of the middle so the chains don't hang as far down on the sidewall. Wouldn't that keep them farther from the danger zone?
