|  2.2 TSL's! Pics! I took my Imex G-Hawgs and made em look like TSL's. Just had to cut 2 slits in each lug. Didn't take long to do and I think they turned out great! The wheels are Pede rears narrowed and painted black. Here's some Pics.     |

| I did that to part of one tire here...dust kicked my ass (couldn't find mask) and I left it alone.  Completed tires look great! |

| I like it. Looks killer! I wonder if there is any way to remove the big IMEX G HAWG on the sides without it looking funny? |

| Thanks for the compliments guys!  The tires do pretty good. There's no foams inside and they work good on most rocks it seems. Smooth slick rock is a bit of a challenge but on jagged type rocks they grip good and wrap really well around obstacles.rckjeep: Brilliant minds think alike don't they! hpi_jeep: I used some Fiskars Multi Snips to cut em. I had another tool but I'm not sure what it's called. It's basically some short pliars with some sharp blades on it. AdamF: Thanks! If you come up with a way to do that let me know ;) sicj: Those tires look awesome! But the real tires don't have the center lugs like that so I added the slits to make em look like siped TSL's. Good job on em! A savage though??? Too bad they're not mounted on a real crawler!  ....... just kidding! ;) |

| Tires look sweet, perfect for scale rig. Don't let slbks5 get you down, he has recurring nightmares about "shafties". |

| Nice job on your tires!!! I just got done posting my cut Hawgs and I saw your post a few lines down. Not trying to steal your thunder. I wish I snipped mine with some scissors and pliers. Man, Dremmeling them took some work, especially with no mask......black boogers for two days. Poor lungs. |

| Kick ass cman, I was going to use Swamp Dawgs on my Bruiser axles because the GHawgs just didn't have the look I wanted but after seeing your's I am gonna run a set of those. I love em.  Way to read between the lines. Now, could you show us how to make them look like TSL SX's?? |

| Thanks guys! That's why I like posting stuff like this, so that others can use the ideas on their rigs. I won't take total credit for this idea as I'm sure others have thought of it also, like rckjeep and jasoninaugusta..........but I did post pics of em first! CWDU, I like yours too! I've had the black boogers also!  .... Grizzly, I think they'll look great on you Bruiser! As for SX's ...give me some time and I just might! ;) |
