I like the looks of the Rockers,BUT I think if you spent the money to bead lock the Krawlers that you would have a better tire.When I had the 42" Krawlers,I ran them @ 10 psi and it was just point and go.It would be interesting to see how they work @ 4 or 5 psi.The krawler are huge,they were 1.5"+ taller than a 42" Irok.
If your going for looks you should of kept the 42" TSLs!

Is there much difference in weight?, I too like the bling, congrats on a killer build. Good to see it finished. Silver, or gunmetal might be nice, get someone to photo shop it in different colors.

If your going for looks you should of kept the 42" TSLs! Rue They ( krawlers) are also at least an inch taller than the pit bulls. I think internal Beadlocks and a ring to stiffen the outer lip would be perfect. So you found they ran better than the other tires you had? I think I will bead lock the krawlers and try them as well as the rockers then decide.

The aluminum rims are much lighter. I was thinking keeping the lip chrome, painting the spokes and backside flat black. The links, axles, tube below the floor, floor top and bottom bedliner and flat black and the rest of the tube bright red.

More of a challenge in a small garage I haven't picked up the paint yet so the color is still in the air. I have decided to make a few changes to the buggy before paint. -Drop the seat down 1.5" -Put some protection under the propane tank (as suggested by Rico) -Try to make some more legroom by moving the seat back as well.
