Looks good, but:

A) You sure you used enough hardware?

B) Whats the white spec on one of the bolts?

Centering rings? Dishing ring?

TreeClimber · Jul 16, 2007

Little overkill on the bolts & nuts. Probably twice as many as you'ld ever EVER need.

Just basic weld on beadlocks. No anticoning ring. I decided against it because of the amount of bolts on there.

It's a daily driver so overkill = okay in my book.

I had some from Great Lake Offroad, great pieces, but I had one that I couldn't get centered, 32 bolts and I had to sinch them down pretty good to keep from leakin too, made them cone pretty bad.

Got the leaks fixed but couldn't one to center and ended up selling cos I'm goin dual sport like yourself. Didn't want the wobbler on the street.

It'll still cone. A fan belt works fairly well for this............

Looks good though.:awesomework:

I bought the Ruff Stuff DIY beadlock kit as well.... 39 bolts x 4... Way overkill, but oh well...

Mine only gets to about 60mph before the TSL's start to let you know that they are not happy...

Of course one has only about 2oz's of bb's...

One has none...

One has about 3 oz's of bb's...

and the other has none...

ha ha ha...

Considering what others have said about his wheels loosing their bead on the trail, it's about time he got those.

But now I know why the local shop has no bolts.... :fawkdancesmiley:
