Its still sitting in the box. I planned on blasting the tires with my torpedo heater to warm them up for grooving, but as you know it was stolen and the new heater doesn't have a blower so I'm gonna wait till spring to pull the groover out.

I might be up for renting it out after I get to use it once, but I'm selfish and like to play with my toys first lol88 XJ - 5" lift - 35" BFG's - Bumpers - Rock Rails - Homebrewed OBA - Roof Rack - Tube Doors - Trimmed - Dented

I got the 300 watt one this week from http://www.speedwaymotors.com/300-Wa...-Iron,399.html.... I have done my 2 front tires so far and it seemed to work great... I don't have anything to compare it to, but it took me about 30 minutes per tire and didn't take much effort to cut through the rubber... The grooves are about a 1/4" deep....
The only thing bad about for me is that i have arthritis in my hands so it made my hands hurt a little, but wasn't too bad... i took a break between tires...
Here's a pic of 1 of the tires and the leftovers...sigpicchris hodges
