Default Pulled the Trigger on Tires

I just ordered the Firestone Destination MT in 315/70/17. They will be going on tomorrow morning around 9:30. I kept going back and forth between the KM2 and the Destination's and decided to be the canary for these things. It's going to be a great day off of work!!!!

It's simple as long as the holes in the links are large enough for the pin to fit through. You could always quick disco like me and use a wrench and channel locks. takes about 4 minutes. That pretty quick isn't it??

Clevis Pin X2 (1/2" X 2.5")
Rubber grommets X4
1/2" washers X4 (use old ones if you want)
cotter pin X2

Consider it done. I got this idea from Dwayne and it seems to be just fine, I had to drill out the holes in my links though. I still haven't put them back on yet.

I say go for the Mud Grapplers. They are absolutely the most badass tires out there. I had reservations about their street drivability though. I'm sure they would kick ass off road though.
