aetna cut TSL = Almost as good as a bogger IMO in the mud.

Flint · 03-07-2014, 11:40 PM

The Aetna cut looks as if it would be a good compromise cut for TSL's. I'm not convinced it would be as good as a bogger but it might give better bite, better cleaning for a TSL. I think I'll research it for possible use on my TSL's on front/ boggers on back.

I've seen this many times, but I'd have a hard time paying $450 for a tire and cutting half the tread off.

Flint · 03-08-2014, 02:37 PM

The concept of cutting tread off a 450 dollar tire doesn't bother me IF it actually improves performance. I've been spending money on the jeep to improve it since I bought the jeep.

The change looks like it might improve thrust, help cleaning and not impact directional control for steering. Unfortunately I don't know that to be true and haven't read many reports as of now. I also worry that cutting the tire to that extent would accelerate wear or cause premature failure.

It's something to think about...

The 44 blem bogger rear and 43 Sx front

Themselves match the 43 with half inch.... I like the fat boggers myself

humpy · 03-08-2014, 04:11 PM

If u wanna better pics I can take some when it comes back from exhaust shop

93 Krawler · 03-08-2014, 08:43 PM

The 44 looks good that wide. Looks proportional. Are the rims 17 x 12?
Muffler shop... Does that mean it's almost ready to wheel?

The 39.5 x 15 TSL Bogger combo will run me $2050 shipped. A set of 43 x 17 SX will run me $2350 shipped. If I can get enough from my tires and rims to cover new rims, I would do it. Anyone have some 17x10 rims with beadlocks they want to sell or trade?

It's only $$ lol if I had 2 more blem boggers I these woukd already b cut but they wear out so much faster and with not bein able to buy em I kinda want em to last... Hoping they start makin 47 Ltb again

Yes but I don't wanna run a tire I can't replace... If I cut one o these boggers I'll put 43 Sx back ok rear

dropitlow88 · 03-10-2014, 07:21 PM

looking good humpy, thanks for the tank!

kkoepper · 03-10-2014, 07:41 PM

Took the buggy to Redbird State Riding area (southern IN) on Sunday. Pretty sloppy, but not as bad as I thought it might be. The trails are pretty tight there and the buggy is pretty wide, so I was frequently having to pivot off trees. The Pitbull Rockers did great. No damage to the sidewalls and they cleaned out very well. I had read that they don't do well in mud, but that wasn't the case for me. Spin em and they stayed clean and got excellent traction. Happy with em so far.

93 Krawler · 03-23-2014, 01:59 PM

I decided to stay with 39.5's, so I'm doing TSL's in the front, and Boggers in the back.

I'm also going to put on the Edelbrock multi-port injection setup I've had sitting around. It's a TBI to MPI kit. Also going to put in a new performer cam that matches the EFI setup. That should wake it up a little.

I know, I'm ready for some Harlan wheeling.

Also plated, gusseted, and welded my spring hangers on so I don't tear one off like I did in Lions den last year.

The hanger after Lions den and a trail fix so I could keep going.

After you drop off the ledge, that first pass by the outcropping on the left and the tree is getting real narrow. I wouldn't worry about putting any fresh paint on before this run. The earth appears to be moving...
