Do It Yourself Beadlocks

Postby OldGreen » Thu Apr 19, 2007 8:11 am

For all you steel wheel guys that have beadlock envy. . .I think we know of a couple of pretty good welders and there is even a guy in Yakima that makes rings like this for $200. Here's the install:

I bought a set of rings from Brian D in Yakima and built some wheels for my XJ a couple of years ago. Pretty good set up especially since I put them on a second set of wheels and a set of trail only tires. No need to spend a ton of money on something that wasn't going to get used all that often.
