    I DO! And I will tell you why. They are much lighter than full bead locks and many taco's are not running 10psi because they still want their clearance offroading.

    I think they're fine. Ironic when OR guys who poopoo the fake scoop, run fake bead-locks.

    Real beadlocks are illegal, at least in NJ

    I like the differing color or texture to the edge. Just that little riveted look but without actual bolts (or fake bolts). Dresses up the edge a bit and looks nice. Kind of always wanted the back to the future toyota truck with the polished lip and black wheels.

    Aside the huge limp cackle on your a-pillar, that’s a great looking truck, Joe!

    any more pics of that second truck?

    you know how I know that that pic is as fake as the beadlocks?

    I get that a lot...was a muddy day and tire spun ever so gently as I pulled out...when I saw it I had to snap this pic...so it's actually real, just wasn't jungle trip worthy.

    I think anyone that wants to get beadlocks will likely at some point think about putting on 37s. As far as I've seen, 37 x 16 tires are basically limited to a couple super swampers and 2 maxxis models, while almost every AT/hybrid/MT tire is available in 37 x 17. It's just something I would recommend for someone seriously thinking about beadlocks so they don't have to sell them later if they want to get 37s and have a full selection of tires to choose from.

    I think they look great.. would prefer true beadlocks.. but they are un-necessary for me right now.. no need for them until MUCH later on in this trucks life...
