Help! im on the fence about cutting my boogers never have run them cut before and would like some input for some of you guys that have.
Im just worried that once cut and if I dont like them theres no going back.
they are 35/16 boggers on a 67 cj5

Since your not running a one ton front I would deff not cut the front, unless you like breaking axle shafts,  but cut boggers are awsome, If it was my jeep I would run them uncut, see how you like it, then cut the rear first, then if still want more bite cut the fronts and carry spare parts !!

We felt a huge difference when we cut the rears on the truck did not cut the fronts yet.
Life is not a dress rehearsal

cjbogger

sure did  :) maybe boogers are just uncut boggers, I know its hard to bit the bullet and cut a $400+ tire up

Yeah cut 2 for the rear. They work way better. I cut mine brand new and am gonna use the cut rubber to make a floor mat for the garage :)

i,ve been running a set of cut 38.5s on the front of my s10 with a d44 and a mini spool with a trans brake for a couple years now and havent broke anything yet  but thats just in mud, amazon has tire groovers for $65 comes with a 3/8s head and 12 pack of blades a 3/4" head is $13 and 3/4" blades are $11.

Good chisel and a propane or map gas torch is what I used on first set worked great

I used one of them dirt bike tire groovers. It worked good better than a chisel. But if I did it again I would get one of them oscillating saws they cut like butter.
