Skootter14's S/C’d Locked Long Bed Sport

so I was looking at 17x9, -38mm offset, and that should have no problem fitting (same thing you got).

what I cant find on the trail ready site is if the wheel itself is alum, not JUST the ring???? If all im paying a bunch extra for is an alum ring, then its def not worth it to me (others may disagree). the methods are lookin like 339$ for one, the TF are like 529$ for one....I have a little while to continue my homework but for a mostly street truck im not sure if I can logically accept that price difference for what I'm doing with them.

dave, whats your thoughts on things?

I was looking at the Methods due to price/looks. The DIY is cheaper of course

 

yea....but then you have to. . .D. . .I. . .Y

 

That was the deciding factor

 

You know as much as I do. Size should work fine though. I'd check to see if the Methods are prone to bending before I went that route though.

 

Also, weigh in on my road trip thread. Link in sig.

 

That's a nice looking build man, I'd love to find a stock 2nd gen like yours soon

 

Trail Ready wheels is what id buy if I'm spending big money on beadlocks. They even offer a lifetime warranty.

To me, you can't justify the price of high end beadlocks for wheeling purposes only. Id personally buy them because they are baller, not because I think I can destroy them. Most people buying wheels like this are people who run buggies in KOH and trophy trucks who see 100+ mph speeds through the desert. Where they plan on breaking a wheel.

I like how simulated or functional bead lock doesn't change the price.

 

prone to bending? are we talking the actual rim itself, causing the wheel to not properly seal? that would defeat the point of a beadlock haha and would suck to buy if that were to happen

Thanks man! its been a long work in progress and still going; as for most of our builds

Gid, the only problem I have is I am looking more for function (in conjunction with "cool" factor haha) and more so, if those TR wheels are meant for 100+ Baja then it makes it even less reasonable to pay that IF (and only if) the methods wouldn't hold up to the monthly wheeling trips I would attend. (on the flip side, since I still want to cage the truck and run it O/R eventually, the TR beadlocks may just be more of a long term investment haha)

 

I need you in Alaska to fly this bitch. Hurry up

 

DONE! haha

did you get a ride?

 

Yea we had to fly up to a job site

 

@allmotorrex where did you get your a-pillar dual pod gauge mount from?

Looking for a similar set up for boost and afr but thought one of the companies made the grey WAY off. Saw a pic of yours through google images and didnt think it was bad (color-wise)

 

Very bottom of the page. And it's pretty close. Def darker but I don't even notice it when it's mounted.

boost gauge... but... you has no boost... unless.....

 

Thank ya kindly sah!

As soon as Magnuson does their second group buy that they are currently working on with @TIM.TRDSparks

 

I guess you weren't joking when you told me to add it to my To Do list... hmmmmm

 

so, after taggin Tim, he got back to me that magnuson decided to not do the group buy a second time. not sure why but its their loss, that's for sure.
