I have Grabbers on my DD, good on the road, decent offroad abilities. muddy inclines and roots give me some grief but that's expected from an AT tire.

Do they basically bolt into to the top hole and then tie in with the trailer hitch bolts?

How crusty is your jeep? You may want to order new nut strips as well.

No problem. I like the AT's but the red letter Grabbers are calling me. I smell a little more lift and red letter 33's in the near future...
