Your rig looks alot smaller in person..............

It is....:looney:

That looks great Tony. Tell an ignorant guy why go DIY vs. buying them done? Is there a big difference in cost? I know nothing about the process of building them but I imagine it would require some pretty impressive skills.

I'm not gonna touch that one...........

Chris, if you buy beadlocks, they come all ready to go on a wheel. If you opt for a DYI kit. You recieve the parts to turn your existing wheels into beadlocks. So as you can imagine, its quite a bit cheaper. And yes, you have to be able to weld well to put these together.

Just as a comparison, a Trail ready Beadlock wheel is $200+, and Rock Stomper Lock Kit is $80 a piece (per wheel). So if you know someone that welds, or if you give Matt enough Guinness, this route is much more cost effective................:cheers:

Price was deifinitely the factor for me. DJ pretty much covered the difference. It is more labor, probably 10-12 hours total, glad I had help! Welding isn't something I can do too good so....some beer and off to Matt's I went.
