Going slow on the road with cut boggers would be terrible, but once you get going it wouldn't be to bad(of coarse it wouldn't be smooth, but not as bad as you'd think).
Anyone ever rode a 4 wheeler on outlaws? Going slow, you feel every lug.... going a good speed it's not to bad.




Since I don't have a torch (just one of those small propain bottle torchs), what would be better.... sawzall or buy a couple bottles and use the chizel anyway?

When I get enough money, I'll do some mods to the engine then cut some 38.5x15 boggers and chromo shafts, and......(winch)
Dam expensive *&%^&*%$*&!

no, but the chisel is easier and faster.....

but if you dont feel confident with a chisel and a torch a metal blade with little to no teeth works good as well....

If you can figure out the right speed you could charge people to ride in your bronco, as it would be like a nice massage!!!!!! Could be nice!

Back to the original point. We all know that driving with cut boggers on the street is a big no no, now if you really want to do it, here's the deal:

Cut only the small lug out using a swazall to cut the main part of the tread down to the carcass. Get a tire groover (looks like a big hot knife) to finish the job. It will take quite a while to do all 4 tires, too!

Not picking on your 4.0, but Kris is right. Turning regular swampers with that 4.0 is not a big deal, heck you should be able to turn regular boggers with good results in the mud. However when you start cutting space between the lugs, you get into the AG tire terratory and the more open spacing in the tread means it grips a whole lot more, which needs more hp/tqe to make those tires perform in the mud. My 95 with a mild built 351w has ran several 7.6 second, 200' passes in the bogs on 38.5x11 boggers, but when I tried a set of cuts, the time slowed some as I had much more grip, and not enough power to spin them the same as the un-cuts. Just food for thought......

So would you say there is a BIG difference in bite when you cut them? I want to throw concrete block sized chunks of mud. I need the tires to clean out better. Now they dont start slingin until 12 to 15mph of tire speed. I want them to clean out at less than 10mph.

And to everyone else, I do not care about street legal. My tires are not balanced anyhow. It is not worth the effort to balance boggers. Only balance them with the heavy side of the rim, thats it. I dont even bother to balance TSLs either. Soap up the rim and put em on. They get out of balance in 100 miles anyhow with welded diffs. My wheelin spot is only about 10 miles from my house and I take it down the back roads. Any farther than 40 or 50 miles I pull it on a lawnmower trailer. (Dont ask)

The mud I am in is not like Florida mud or California mud. Think of 12 to 24 inch deep play dough. The scit sticks to the tires like epoxy reisen. Most mud will clean out at 5 to 10 mph. This is the worst stuff I have ever seen. When I start side hilling up the trails it is hard to get enough wheel speed to keep the tires clean and not run into trees/rocks. This is my predicament. I am willing to cut a $1000 set of tires if it will get the results I want.

And Boggers are not meant for the street anyhow. IMHO they are a competition tire meant for modification. Driving a truck with Boggers on the street is about the same as riding a ATV down the road with some Swamper Vampires.

Anyhow keep the opinions coming. Apprecitated very much, thank you.

Or I cut get a set of BFG shovellllls, they would prob. clean out at 1mph. And if I pro cut them they would clean out sitting still. Just another option I have yet to explore.

BWAHHHHAAAAHHHAAA.

hey, my shovels, are never gummed up, if i put a shovel full of mud on the top of them when not moving, it cleans it self, its amazing! Ive never had my tires pack up and when im idiling in granny low, them things are still clean, doesnt matter if its soupy mud, thick mud, clay mud. They just plain dont pack!!!!!!

bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! YEA RIGHT! These things pack in loose dirt, POS TIRES! Ride good on the pavement though, as long as its dry!

Sorry for thread hijacked, but as a PROUD owner of some bfg shovels, i thought i should enlighten yall to how awesome they truly ARNT!

Never been to florida. Just so. GA.

Bogs are different.

What I am talking about is like half dried out pizza dough, with Honda sized rocks buried underneath and to either side of you a 2000 ft drop to death down a mountain. Gets scary when the tires dont want to grip when I try to make an off camber uphill turn, the truck wants to go strait and no turning. It sux. Throw in a mix of oak trees and boulders, and you can start to get an idea of what I am talking about.

You must have control of ure vehicle.

Don't know if anyone is interested but there is a set of cut 38.5 boggers with wheels on racingjunk for $400. Look like they have lots of tread left too! They are the narrow ones and made for 16.5's

So are you running said boggers right now? (I couldn't tell) If not I'd say run them, and see how they do, if you are running out of power with them uncut, don't cut them, like someone said earlier, if you don't have the power they won't do you any good, I know from personal experience. I'd agree with cutting out the small lug, if these are for trails, then I'd cut the groove out of the big lug like you were saying, that'll give you better lateral traction
