@wayalife

LOL - there's a reason why I've been running KMC and ATX beadlock wheels before it and for almost 20 years now. They use BIGGER bolts than most other beadlock wheels, have much thicker rings and they DO NOT thread them directly into aluminum wheels like cheaper wheels do. 32 ft lbs is what is specifically stated to use BY KMC's directions and to this day, I have never had a single issue or a broken bolt the way I have seen countless times with lesser beadlock wheels.

If you don't garage your Jeep, the rings will lose it's luster a bit. Clearcoat would help keep them nice but rocks will jack them up anyway. The off road use thing is just for liability purposes. Technically, it isn't legal to run beadlocks on the highway even though they are totally safe.

@@wayalife Thanks for the response! My local Discount Tire will not work on the non-DOT wheels unless they are off the passenger vehicle. I'll need to remove those beads, which is obviously now a pain, and dismount the wheel/tires from the Jeep, but I think the work is going to be worth it. The Jeep is a daily driver in addition to trail duty, and the rear tires get violent around 75 mph.

@@gtjeeper3376 When's the last time you've tried to have your Discount Tire work on beadlocks. I've talked directly to corporate about a year ago and they told me that they've changed their rules across the board and it should no longer be a problem. I tested this out recently and my shop didn't even blink an eye.

@@wayalife Great news! It has been since mid last year that I asked...so maybe a year ago. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Either way I am well advised to remove the glass beads before I do anything....I have been dragging my feet because of the chore it is, but I have to get off my butt so I can comfortably get to the trails!

Great videos. What tie rod do you recommend for the price. I’ve seen a few stock ones fail at the ball joint. Think the stock is ok, or get something else? Thanks!
@wayalife
Жыл бұрын
Just to be clear, rotation on a tie rod end is totally normal and NOT an indication that it has failed. A shifting side to side or up and down within the tie rod end IS. Typically, people replace their tie rods with something beefier because the stock ones do tend to bend from getting hit on the trail. For this, I would recommend Synergy if price is a factor.

IF balancing is needed, I take my Jeep into my local Discount Tire and have them balance my tires for me. However, with a high quality tire like Nitto makes, I don't typically find the need to balance them.

100% agree. Folks take the work it takes to produce a video for granted. They just process the finished product but the magic is everything it took to get there. Taking raw footage, editing, jump cuts, transitions & articulating it in a manner where everyone from newbies to the advanced connoisseur can relate to the material into 1 cohesive & polished package.

Inside of the rim will tend to have a bigger lip helping thr bead stay on. The outside tends to have a smaller lip hence why we use a bead lock to lock the outside bead in. Some rims will have a bigger lip in tbe outside rather then inside but uncommon.

My Wrangler Willys has the Xtreme packs with 35" KO2's and beadlock capable wheels. While I can easily air down, what scenario would I want these tires mounted taking advantage of the beadlock capable wheel? Then, is there a maximum speed when on pavement?
@wayalife

Beadlocks are helpful to have when airing down to 10 psi or less. This is a pressure that can be extremely helpful on big rocks and it will help prevent the rolling of your bead.

Did you have to regear? How did you balance them ?
@wayalife
9 ай бұрын
I have not regeared and the power loss isn't too bad being that these are mounted on our 392 but a lot of the fun factor of it is gone now and so we will regear it soon. Most likely to 4.88. As far as balancing goes, high quality tires like the kind that Nitto makes don't typically need it. In fact, only 2 of the 3 tires had yellow dots to line up and so far, everything feels nice and round. However, IF I feel a need to balance my tires, I take my Jeeps to my local Discount Tire shop and have them do it for me with tape on weights.
