But how many cars have you ruined. Or accidents you been in

 

None

 

Hydro lock ranger
Reverse into a tree
What else am I missing

 

I never bought rims either lol always felt like a waste of money

 

Did y'all just stay stock?

 

I dunno I just don't have any interest in it...I like the wheels the PO put on my truck and I don't even know what they are. But why change them or have others just laying around? Not like it's that easy to just swap new wheels on, unless you have a different set of tires mounted to them I guess.

 

The tree moved into my bumper. And the ranger wanted to retire

 

Yup

 

With the wheeling you do i would of thought you wanted beadlocks

 

The PO put some wheels on my truck that I've always been happy with, I painted them black though

before (she was so little back then)



after (like 3 years later)

 

How much wind noise does your rack and lights cause

 

aren't those not street legal (true beadlocks)?

I've never had a problem with the tire coming off the bead and I've run my tires as low as 8psi. Usually around 15 though. I do worry about it a little more now with the skinny tires since they don't sit as well on the wheels as the wider tires did.

 

A lot, lol. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with my MPGs being so shitty, too. But I work like 5 miles from home so I don't worry about it that much anymore.

I actually need to remove the rack and re-install it...the well nuts that hold it in place inside the roof are rattling around on one side and it's driving me fucking crazy.

 

WTH, lol.

I'm on my 3rd set of wheels on this truck.

 

Yaah I think most arnt dot appoved. But idk why.

Pretty sure most companies say that to reduce their liability, because if the bolts come lose while driving and then cause a leak (which im sure is super rare) then they dont wanna be sued.

 

Yeah most aren't. I believe there is one company that makes street legal ones now but I forget the name of them, saw them here. Then there's those Method wheels they call street legal beadlocks but they're aren't true beadlocks.

 

#3

 

I mean you arnt gunna get pulled over for it. Im sure tons of Jeep guys run beadlocks on their mall crawlers with no issues

 

I've never seen any evidence that there is any law saying it's illegal, everyone is always quick to say it is, but nobody ever has proof. I believe there was even a reward for a while on pirate4x4 for anybody that came up with a concrete answer either way. But I'm pretty sure the general rule is there isn't actually a law against it
