LOL! That is awesome!

Your little girl seems to like it.
 
Cool part was the holes were already in the sidewall!!!!! CONGRATS again Greg on the family growing.
 
haha ouch!!
 
I have a pile of TSL's that i continue to cut the sidewalls on. I get mine vulcanized though. I do like that swing.
 
That tire was run for about 100yards in a race before the side wall had a hole big enough to put your foot through. No way to fix it, so had to make a swing.
 
thats some bling chain ya got there!

Wrong... Any good tire shop that vulcanizes can fix it. I had a 6" cut fixed several years ago and still does great.

Wrong... the tire had a cut about 14'' long. It could not be fixed. If it onley had a 6'' cut, it would have been fixed.
 
:lol: Pure awesome Greg! Glad you found a use for one of those! Will it hold 200#?:popcorn: Elizabeth is looking cute as ever.
 
Wow... she's adorable.

Swing's not bad, either.

wrong....I fixed a crawler with a 25" cut using bailing wire, aquavelva, and silly putty
 
I used a 35" bogger for a swing a year or so back. I had to switch it to a car tire because once it got moving it would straight up take out a kid under 10...lol

I had the same experience. I swapped to 24" low profile tires. Not much fun when it's not your kid that gets taken down...
 
I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night...OK not really... So, maybe the tire coulda been stitched together with bailing wire & rubber boots, duct tape, fish hooks & who knows what else...

point is...he decided to make a very cool tire swing for his daugther...his idea...let him roll with it.

He coulda hung a Spanking Brand New Corbeau next to it or Built a Barbie Jeep on some ORI Struts

I like his style, most people would'a used some 'ol wore out car tire !!!
 
Who gives a flying f*ck if the tire could have been fixed or not. That is a sweet tire swing ya got there. Cute little kid too...
