Beadlocks which ones???

[GREEN XJ]

There is a guy down here in AL. who makes them, I have them and a bunch of my buddies have them, no problem with them and some of them are running 49's on there cab trucks. My five are 15x10 w/ 2" backspacing and they ran me about $110 a wheel.

I know you're looking at DIY's and cheaper locks, but W.E.'s have come down in price over the past few years.

These are on my DD and they balanced just like normal tire/wheel combos.

Have you checked out the staun internal beadlocks? i think they are like 140 each rim and look like a pretty good idea.

So those are okay fo DD? I only drive 3 miles to work, but I drive alot on the weekends.

I drive 22 miles each way to work and they're fine (if we are talking about ride quality/balancing).

I don't have them yet, but the staun internal beadlocks look pretty sweet. i've read a couple articles on them, and the mags think they're pretty great too. They're about 170 a tire. One of my recent mags even goes into how to install them; it's an internal inner tube with a strap around it. Then you air it up seperately. Anyway, that's what I'm thinkin about doing.

My shop just because a MD with Staun for their internal beadlocks, you can check them out here http://www.performanceoffroadcenter.com/oscommerce/index.php?cPath=190_472

There are a lot of ideas I like about these. You don't have to have a speciality wheel, if you destroy a wheel a $50 replacement rockcrawler is a lot cheaper than a $200 beadlock, you can transfer it to another wheel of the same diameter if you ever swap bolt pattern, ect... The only think is they are a pita to mount, took my mechanic and I about 2 hours to mount a set of 4. The first one was hard, but after that they went pretty easy, and once we tested them I was hooked, thats why were carrying them now.
