    i have a question about these TRD Bead Locks from the factory. I have a 2011 TX/Pro and it came with these rims. Tomorrow I am getting my Dura Tracs /85/75/16's put on, I believe these rings have to come off? I took them off today in prep for it cause I did t want Discount Tire staff doing it but I noticed that on the back of the torx screw there is a plastic washer. Some broke some didnt so my question is do I need to install new plastic washers? Also re loctite these screws on, there is an excessive amount of old loctite on the torx screws so do I clean the old off?

    Those arent real beadlocks. Is there a reason to take them apart? I don't have a set so honest question.

    You don't need to take the ring off to mount or unmount the tire. It's just a decorative ring.

    I had my tires mounted with the ring off and then balanced with the ring back on.

    Shit, didnt think about balancing them with the rings on. Will have to go back and redo that. I was to afraid of the damage that might occur to the rings during install. I know they are decorative rings. Just had them plasti dipped so O disnt want that to come off either.
