Basically, to install the Titan Snow Tire Chains, # TC1138, you will lie the chains out on the ground and drive up your 1994 Ford Explorer on top of them. Next, you will essentially hug the tire to connect the two ends of the inner most side of the chains behind the tire. Then, you will link the two outer most ends together. One of the outer ends has a what is essentially a lever and after the two ends are hooked together you push the lever to tighten the chains. It is also recommended to use rubber adjusters, # PW100, to make tightening the chains easier.

We do not have a video showing the installation of this type of chains but we do have a tire chain FAQ article that may help. I have included a link to the article below along with a link to the available chains for your vehicle. There are 2 options for your tire size. Just click the correct tire size to see the available chain options for that size. You will also want to check your owners manual to determine if chains can be used and if there are any restrictions for use.
