TRD Beadlocks + 3RD Gen Tacoma

Please post your 3rd gen Tacoma’s with TRD Beadlock style wheels.

There’s a beadlock thread, but it’s comprised of second gens and some 3rd. But it’s also 200+ pages

 

Also If anyone has any images of them with the rings removed that would be great

 

I’ve thought about doing this or derping then, but I’ve been too lazy!

 

6112s/5160s/Dakars/Camburg Uniballs. Spidertrax spacers. 285/75/16s

 

Someone here has done it, it looks nice.



If you squint and focus you can make the rings disappear. You don’t need the pic.

Not to ask a dumb question, but these aren't real beadlocks are they?

 

Nope. The ring is strictly ornamental.

 

Gotcha. Aren't (if yes then why?) they illegal?

 

Not all are illegal, but it's because the bolts can get loose and the wheel can separate. It also depends on your jurisdiction/state.

 

Not exactly. Beadlocks aren't illegal anywhere, in any state, in any county. Utah is the only state that requires SAE J2530 compliant wheels at vehicle registration however they are not explicitly illegal.

 

Bump

 

Bump. I would love to see black beadlock with silver truck. Are these wheels only sold through VIN number or can i go and purchase them at the dealer?

 

You can get them at a dealership.

 

Do you know of any online dealers that offer good prices? I know when I owned a dodge i had a dealer on the east coast that i could get oem stuff for cheap compared to where im located.
