Awesome thanks for the advice! I’ll take anything I can get as this will be my first set of beadlocks I’ve installed. I know Blaine posted a bunch in JMTs thread with some advice as well that I need to go check out.

It’s the wal mart brand blaine build

Staying true to my inspiration Jeep!

Well, since you asked I’ll take you down the rabbit hole lol. I’ve been going back and forth for a while now on wheels. First I knew I needed beadlocks. Non negotiable at this point. The hub kit makes things tough as you know since it adds 7/8” width on either side and I don’t want a shit...

About $85 more per tire than the ones I got. A lot of guys like the trep bias ply tires out here purely for the sidewall strength. I don’t think bias ply’s balance as well as radials

Interesting so they are half radial and half bias ply…

Wel dang. I haven’t heard of those before and seem harder to find than the typical Baja boss but they are out there… probably would have given those a try…

Tire balancing has been the bane of my Jeep for many years. It’s been such a struggle. I doubt I remember what truly balanced tires even feel like lol

That would bring me a tremendous amount of joy

Yeah I have the 16” big brakes and my current 15s just barely fit on there. It’s always a pain in the ass getting the tire monkeys to fit weights in there so I’ll make their job a little easier on them.

The big test will be if the sidewalls hold to AZ

Can’t find any MTRs anywhere. They are done.

Yep. I’d love to find a video of what happens if you cut through it.

I don’t believe that to be true. There was a shortage of them but Mickey is distributing more out in a few weeks. Northridge had them in stock so I went through them.

Something’s still missing
