1faastc10, im gonna look into that. is it usually expensive???

*1FaastC10* · 04-10-2005, 02:54 AM

cant be that expensive, all it is is an overgrown soldering iron with a blade on it.

back it out. lets get a good shot.

Mudder · 04-10-2005, 10:34 AM

I think I would try to find some tires before i cut em and ran them on the road. I'm not so sure you'd be able to balance them out after cutting. Lots of guys over at CTS sell larger tires. Or maybe even pavement sucks.

GMC71k20 · 04-10-2005, 04:43 PM

cant back it out just yet...in the middle of the blazer tank swap =(
