Beadlocks

[High2by]

i can touch up any scratches to the paint easily.

If you have beadlocks it's required to have to "touch up" from scratches.:cheers:

thats what im thinking as well... so rattle can spot jobs a good thing :thumbsup: :cheers:

so here is a taste of what is to come!!!!

thanks to team willys they are now welded up and all i got to do is pick them up and paint them. im thinking repaint wheels black and paint the rings OD

 

[uncc civilengineer]

Did you relocate the valve stem? I know when I did a set even w/ the thin rings it sucked getting to the valve stems... just wondering...

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

tyler welded up the hole for the valve stem and when i get them back in, i will redrill a hole for them on a flat area wherever i desire so yes i will be relocating them to answer your question.

here is another taste... all i got left to do is mount them, and the bolts come in on monday so im going to try and get the tires on the rims tomorrow and bolt them down this week.

what do you all think?

should i paint the hubs and bolt to match the black? or leave them like this?

 

[Team Willys]

DUDE! That is sick! Of course I am a little biased though... lol. I think that the OD centers and nuts look good, but black would be fine too. Its really up to you I suppose.

 

[PacificEd]

Those beadlocks look great!

You have a good color combo there. I'd leave the colors as is.

 

[High2by]

Agreed. The colors look great like they are.

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

bolts should be in today... ill get them bolted up and put on the jeep as soon as i can and get some pics up for you guys to see... and since its literally freezing out i will have to put the top back on it sometime soon... can you say more OD green !!

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

another taste of what is to come... got my bolts in today as you can see. mocked it up to see what it will look like... will actually bolt them down tonight hopefully.

 

[Team Willys]

Its up to you dude, but looking at that, I'd loose the washers. Just my honest opinion though...

 

[PacificEd]

Its up to you dude, but looking at that, I'd loose the washers. Just my honest opinion though...

Why would you lose the washers...safety or looks? I like the looks of them.

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

the washers are for looks and for tighting the bolts so i dont scratch the beadlocks but with them the bolts are now sticking out further... to catch...

they arent needed because the holes in the beads are small enough not to warrant them...

not sure yet... although im thinking about taking them out because of the sticking out thing.

 

[High2by]

By sticking the bolts out farther, you get better traction on those rocks that jump up beside you.

I think I would loose them though, that kind of traction is over rated...

 

[Team Willys]

It just takes away from the locks themselves, looks like the holes were too big and the washers were needed to spread out the load. That's just my opinion though. I personally like the clean look of no washers....

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

here is the next one... didnt do the washers on the rest of them... see what it looks like... just need to tighten them all up, air them up, and check for leaks *crosses fingers*

 

[bigalpha]

I like it w/o washers. Looks more 'done' and professional.

 

[MELKORsXJ]

without washers for sure...

looks awesome blake!!!

can't wait to see them in action at the flog. arty:

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

ENOUGH OF THIS TEASING!!! no more taste of what is to come. ITS HERE!!!
