Finally on all 4 wheels
#21
Fired up the Tire Groover today and cut one of the swampers up.One pic shows how much is removed with a basic groove job.The other picture is more of a question as do you think I should cut anymore across the tread where the silver lines are drawn.I dont want them to start chunkin tread and I think it will be too much but I have witnessed some seriously grooved swampers before that held up on a buggy.

I also finished the Tubular radius arms and made the trac bar adjustable to compensate for these small lift coils.Now to get some more coils and call it good in ft for now until I make the dom steering rods.

About 30 min with the break on the last outside pass as my arms were Popeyed.I unplugged the groover and let it rest before I did the last pass as it was hot as hell by then. I think I am going to just continue my pattern and not cut anymore extra out.
