I'm thinkin about them, double beadlocks that don't affect balancing.

But weld-on outers are still only 300 so i'm still not 100% sure.

SuperGildo@RRP 11-08-2005 11:48 PM

**** dude, just buy some trail ready steel bead locks.

SuperGildo@RRP 11-09-2005 12:03 AM

sorry dude. :sigh:

034x4 11-09-2005 12:24 AM

I send you money, you buy them "for yourself" and ship them to me. C'mon. Ho.

SuperGildo@RRP 11-09-2005 12:26 AM

haha then when i get ready to buy some, they say, where are yours?

then what?

Id like to keep my discounts, spank you very much!!

EDIT: also they all know the axle that im using, so me ordering them in a 6 lug pattern is a bit fishy...

034x4 11-09-2005 12:31 AM

Just tell them you gotta hook me up cuz my **** is badass and it's almost done. Show 'em a pic, they'll understand.

Thanks to gil. Next week I will be ordering 4 15x8 trail-ready beadlocks w/ centering rings.

034x4 11-09-2005 02:17 PM

Start my new job tomorrow. So work on the truck will slow down. It's getting really close to being finished and yet again i'm just waiting on parts to get here. If i have parts here for me i will be working on it the whole time during the weekend if i don't get home early enough to work on it at night.

HighRollerII 11-09-2005 02:57 PM

what are center rings on the wheels for?


what new job you get..didnt you used to work at a car mechainc shop the last time talked to you?

SuperGildo@RRP 11-09-2005 06:56 PM

bead locks are usually flat in the clampin area. the centering rings have a ridge that make sure that the bead of the tire is centered in the rim. this gives a good rollout and makes it driveable...

034x4 11-09-2005 07:01 PM

Used to be a tech at a local dodge dealer.

Now i'll be on a field crew for a surveying company and slowly move my way up as i go through school.

HighRollerII 11-09-2005 07:03 PM

sounds cool...what you takin in school...

034x4 11-09-2005 07:35 PM

does your truck have a flair side bed?? i've got a 95 ranger and with a bod lift and roughly 6" suspension life the tires clear the fenders fine (37's) although the bastid stays broke and i haven't taken it out yet....

i think you'd be fine with your bed!

More goodies!

19 pages is a lot to mull over. How much are those Alcan springs? I'm still attached to the Rancho 44044s. $300 for the pair isn't bad, and they offer awesome performance.
