Exactly, did some searching to find some heavy duty links that would hold up to the stress and abuse and learned to lay the chains out in front (or in back) of each tire, stretched out and placed exactly right which allowed to just drive over them, attach the quick disconnects and the stretch cords and bam! I was back on my way in just a couple of minutes at most.

I will never forget when I was first learning how, it would take me about 10 minutes per tire while I was getting wet and cold from the falling snow the entire process. So after about 3 days of that I started working on improving the process.
