We had to make it flat with 16ft of fill that had to be compacted. The state guy said hes never seen anything compacted as much as what mine was. Its not going anywhere. But yes. Its one hell of a driveway.
So I deserve a locker?

No. You need a parking spot at the top of the hill, and a rope ladder

These actually work. Our driveway isnt as bad as yours but these paid for themselves that time I needed them. Keep them stored in the trunk. Install them if you need them.

Thanks greg. And Matt dont tempt me, once I get an avalanche I wouldnt mind a good road trip. Lol.
I just want to prep my drivetrain as much as possible. I want it to be my smaller, but just as capable Humvee.

Ok, worse case scenario they appear to work, but I would not strap those on every day several times just to drive out of my yard. Nope, nope.

Why would you? Theyre for emergencies only. Not like it snows so much anymore to warrant needing them beyond a temporary solution.
