: What beadlocks to get
welndmn 12-12-2001, 10:15 AM After the 38's my 5 inch BS wheels are not cutting it, i convinced the "boss" that i need new beadlcoks, and I can't decide between MRT's 18 bolt, Scott's (rockstomper), High impact (http://www.high-impact.net/beadlockbrochureinsidepage.htm) or Bigfeck's(Aggressive Off Road )
Price is always a concern but is not the main factor, Champions are way $$$$ (get it)
Plese post some of your Beadlock facts and thoughs about these to help aid my choice, they need to be 15, 5on on 5.5 with 3 inch BS
Rover Addiction 12-12-2001, 10:17 AM I love my custom Stockton Wheel beadlocks. Super strong, 3/8" centers, thick outers, self-centering ring..
I'm going to try to shoot some new pictures today and post them soon...
Go local!! They have awesome customer service too!!

i am very happy with my 18 bolt mrts
Bones 12-12-2001, 10:25 AM I've got Eatons, and the wheel is beefy, the ring seems a little chinsy, but I haven't ran them yet, so we'll see. I don't see to many out there using Eatons either. Maybe there's a reason. :eek:

Gabes, wheels are BAD ASS!!!, they are as beefy as any out there, and beefier rings than any I have seen. The inner ring which self centers the tire before mounting the outer ring, is a slick design. They also have a way cool, unique look.
RoCkSkuLLz 12-12-2001, 10:57 AM 36 bolt MRT's :D

So am I. Haven't had a problem yet, and 18 bolts are alot less time consuming to mount than 36.
The MRT's were the cheapest I found.
If cost was not a factor it'd be Champions.
ChadLloyd 12-12-2001, 11:59 AM Myself and BillaVista have some rockstompers on the way, I'm sure Bill will take and post many pictures of them when they arrive.

RockRover 12-12-2001, 12:51 PM I have to agree with ExtremeCJ...Trail-ready(s) are the most bitchen' I've seen...Gotta' love that alum. outer ring with counter-sunk bolts...And are available in 15, 16, 16.5, 17, and 20":eek:
Hey ExtremeCJ...How long did the anodizing last? One run? I'm thinking about using clear rings.

BillaVista 12-12-2001, 02:42 PM You asked for opinions.....so here's one!
If it's not Rockstomper it's either a weak and flimsy "better of on a little light weight racecar" or it's made of / with soft and cracks easily aluminum :flipoff2:
There....but, opinions are like .....
Seriously, a quick search should turn up a bunch of data.
For cheap, brutal, heavy duty kickass made for the rocks, I don't think Rockstomper can be beaten.
Jason M 12-12-2001, 02:55 PM Go with the TR's....
Gotta love em!!!
I have the 15x10's, six lug w/ 2" backspacing...
