Finally got the rear chains on today. The fronts still awaiting spacers as first order center hole slightly too small 66mm. Since I can no longer read the micrometer its trial & error. Next size up in spacers are 68.5mm crossing the fingers. Anyways here's the rears, which went much better than the fronts. I did takeout 1 cross link which really tightened things us nicely.

Took "OJ" down the drive today as test. went great. Preformed some work along the main rd. Took my time more out of fear, lol. Got to say hearing those v-bars biting into the hardpack / gravel was rather nerve racking. I kept checking for looseness, binding, anything that could become an issue esp. during winter. I'll surely feel more comfy with front spacers, none the less. Anyways test went well. Homespun tensioners did their thing, everything's nice & tight.
