sleeper06 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 They sell a hot knife, looks like a big soldering iron with a blade on it. They work well Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 Yes but we careful not to jab your good threads with it Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Posted May 4, 2016 ^exactly what I have. Like I said just go slow and be careful not to knick the good treads Quote
B22 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Posted May 5, 2016 That actually looks handy, I've never saw one of those before...tires are mounted and prepared for cutting. I'm gonna use a sawzall like Tyler suggested. Should have updates tomorrow, good or bad. I'm kinda fuckin nervous, lmao. Would suck to ruin a brand new set of tires. I'll just be super careful.

B22 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) You all think it'll pull ok with a 15 tooth front and 43 rear? I'm sure I'll find out tomorrow but I think these may a little more to turn for a stock motor...the ambushes are definitely heavier than the 14 paddles. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. I just have a feeling if they actually hook up well it may bog taking off in 2nd...running a 1-N-2-5 override. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 5, 2016 by B22 Quote
RagunCajun Posted May 5, 2016 Report Posted May 5, 2016 I just have a feeling if they actually hook up well it may bog taking off in 2nd...running a 1-N-2-5 override. I had that issues with my old set up. I geared it to take off in 1st. But i did have a n-down 1-5 dunable.....which is for sale now wink wink. Quote
B22 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Posted May 7, 2016 Welp, I have one cut and just put a fucking hole in the other one. Got too deep. Fucking Christ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Take it to a shop and have them patch it from the inside. Quote
RagunCajun Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 At least you tried yourself. Depends on where the error is, they may be able to patch it. I wouldnt do a plug. I wouldnt trust a patch for long trips away from your truck though. Quote
O/CbansheeRider Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 I've heard these with the scrapper blade work well for knifing tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
B22 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Posted May 7, 2016 The cut is small and is definitely patchable, just getting aggravated. I was almost done too. It's a small cut maybe about an 1/8" or so Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
