Those Grabbers look sick!! If I can get them for even $30 more than comparable tires, I'm going to grab them. Four Wheeler magazine just did a review on them, gave them very high praise.
As far as removing the T-bars, I did mine in a gravel parking lot in about 2 hours, one took about 20 minutes once I had the truck up in the air and supported on jack stands, the other took over an hour. Used almost a can of PB blaster, and had my MAPP gas torch heating everything up (heat IS your friend!).
I wanted to swap my bars from side to side, wasn't able to get them out that easily, so I said "screw it". My driver's side bolt is turned in about 4 full turns more than the passenger's side, but I still have a LOT of thread left.
