SCBS Daria don't respond to wrong thread, thread.

lol. Its one of them. to go from that 3000sf building to that big ass one thats what i need

 

One of my best friends works at Gerald and said he can't do it because he'd get fired

 

just buy some tire spoons and do it your self. Be prepared when you do a tail fix. Ive dismounted my monster tires before, what fun. just cause the local tire shops wont mess with my big tires

 

Will they ticket me for driving on beadlocks? This is my DD...

 

I just read AEVs page on beadlocks. Pretty informative lol

 

Heads up. lowrangeoffroad.com

 

I've got one of these, makes breajing the bead easy

 

If your going to run beadlocks you might as well learn to mount them

 

Have you mounted your tires with this?

 

I'd like to be able to do it at home but it seems like more of a pia than it's worth

 

yeah, mounting isn't that bad unmounting is the bitch. also better to use spoons or a screw drivers to unmount. that red bar puts a red ring around the rim. It just makes the process easier because the rim is held stable. Its still a bitch.

I would pay the $40 just for the bead breaker though. I've had to break the beads twice to clean mud out, the beads were leaking bad because mud got in them.

 

My plan was to send in my trd off road wheel to omf and get them bead locked and powder coated but now I'm thinking I'll just save up for some hutchingsons

 

they wouldn't be true bead locks anyway. a true bead lock has an insert inside the tire that holds the bead, its like a clamp that hold the tire on the rim. They would have to cut the bead rim off the outside of the wheel to make it a true bead lock.

 

I just have an irrational fear of rolling a bead at low psi

 

Are we doing this labor day at gulches?

 

I'm already scheduled to work

 

Basically why I have the tire changer. I got mud in them at low Psi. You shouldn't have a problem rolling them off unless your going to 10psi or below. That's when bead locks are a must

 

For that price I might pick one up. That plus balancing beads means no more paying for mounting and balancing

 

X2 it'll pay for itself with the first mount and balance
