Grooving TSLs

Is there anyone in the Fl. Panhandle that does this?

Here's a set of shot boggers im workin on, good example of what you can do with a set of worn out swampers and a little time

cool. thanks. mind if i copy the pattern?

I got the pattern idea from Tim Camerons Hell Raiser buggy, im pretty sure he pioneered that pattern cuz its the only other set ive seen like em...so go ahead and cut em up!

getting ready to aetna cut a set of 42" tsl's.......usually i use a torch to heat up a chisel and do it that way but wondering what you guys were using besides a groover to remove the large lugs? groover seem to work best on the smaller stuff. tires are basically brand new so there is alot of rubber to remove.

I use a number 10 blade on my groover, they are 3/4 inch wide or so, makes short work of big lugs

chainsaw

Way back when we sharpened a sawzall blade like a knife blade and used it, on the sawzall. Usually had to resharpen per tire.

Any suggestions on a good cheap groover?

On TSL's what pattern seems to give the best traction? aetna cut or tn cut? i am in the mountains, so conditions are mud, rock, hill climbs..ect

I think aetna cut gives more traction but since they are essentially a paddle tire they dont have much latteral traction, i think thats why ya see alot of people run tenn. Cut on front and aetna on rear

started grooving the rears...doing aetna cut rear and tn cut front used a sawzaw and works great then go back with a groover and clean them up..
