Hello Craig,

There are no chrom-specific wib files for this dataset.

One alternative is to use the public mySQL server instead. Follow the 
instructions here to get set up:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download29

If you do decide to create your own database, instructions are here:

Please let us know if we can help more,
