yeah i want to do my own beadlocks but never really seen one ever put on a rim. i heard you have to cut the rim and weld a ring around it. is this right and where could i get some good steel beadlock kits.

Buy Rockstomper's kit. No machining nessecary if your wheel's outer lips are relatively straight. :)

AFAIK Scott had the first kit... shoulda patented it. :(

Lotsa good info here:

A 110volt 135amp Mig should be able to handle welding the rings on right?
