The Bullaculla 3 link SAS build (pic heavy)

but where are 22x14 (pick one: Hostage, Maverick, American Forces)? where are stretched mud terrains? how will you crawl the speed bumps in koko marina tho?

</sarcasm>

 

I'm married, so not trying to pick up high school girls anymore

 

I wish I could see the facial expressions when you pull up next to these guys in your truck. SAS on 37's vs drop bracket/spacers/blocks/body lift on 22x12's and 33's. I bet they going be a little jelly. cause I know I would be

 

Fair enough. I'm cheap and live in the high desert so I think I'm going to roll with them.

 

More than likely they'll think it's stupid since their approach to what makes a 'good' truck is completely fucked compared to most of us.

 

When I still worked at Pearl Harbor, I'd get harassed for NOT running that kind of style too

 

Because your truck isn't "lifted" as high as their's? You better start stacking lifts on lifts then.

 

That and I had small wheels and too much rubber

 

They'd either throw up a Shaka or cower back when I would drive the 4runner.

 

They probably think their truck is still better cause they'll be looking down at you (piff).

 

There are some great videos on putting these together, so I'm not gonna go into too much detail on the hutchinsons.

I made this stand so when I step on the wheel, my weight is pushing the wheel against the ground and not just compressing the tire. With the tires spaced off the ground, my weight will just be putting direct pressure on the two sides of the wheel forcing it into the tire and getting the bead closer to being seated.




First thing to do is get the doughnut into the tire.

Then shove the inner part of the wheel in, trying to get it in there as far as possible. Blue tape is to line up the groove in the doughnut with the studs so I get the valve stem in the right place.

Lubing up the O-ring with Vaseline. @1uzrnr said to start with one finger first, then try two

Back of the wheel is on my stand. Gotta stomp on the face to get the 3 starter studs to protrude enough to get some of those weird locknuts on. If you gonna run dynabeads, get them in before putting on the outer wheel. Hutchinson does not reccomend it tho...

Once you close up the gap a little, check to make sure the O-ring is still seated in place.

 

Here is the locknut. Weird 2 piece thing. I've been a machinist for awhile and have never seen this before.

Threads go all the way down tho.

Put them all on and torque to 100ft lbs in a star pattern. Wife tried, but couldn't get the torque wrench to click 100lbs

Then put these plastic caps over the nuts and studs to make your real beadlocks look like fake beadlocks

In case you were wondering, 37s are bigger than 285s

Not much wider tho thankfully!

Daughter was making rain noise with the dynabeads

Looks right at home on there

Would it be okay to run 37s up front on 4.88 gears and 285s in the back with stock gears?

 

So people keep asking what these things weigh. I weighed all the individual parts.
The face plate. Unsurprisingly since it has the spokes and hub, it weighs the most at 22lbs and 3oz.

The inner wheel, 17lbs 3oz.

Rubber doughnut, 13lbs 8oz.

Hardware, 1lb 5oz.
Total, 54lbs and 3oz

Plus 10oz or so of dynabeads.
and then wrap it with a 75lb tire!

 

Guess you'll need a hi lift to mount them

 

I got them on the hubs just fine

 

Just thinking of your back bro. I know my heavy ass wheels kick my butt

 

BEAUTIFUL

 

Thanks Chad. When you coming over?

That's cause you take so long to get a wheel on! it only took me a few seconds to get that monster on.

 

Man I wish they made those in 15s

 

Man I wish there were more options for 37's on 15's
