: Are beadlocks ok for street use? kickinasphalt383 05-22-2002, 05:41 PM I was planning on running Humvee beadlocks on my Chevy K30. What kind of problems/maintaince will I have to deal with using it as my off-road vehicle and daily driver? Anyone else use them on a daily driver? thanks Kensoffroad 05-22-2002, 07:53 PM :rolleyes:If your worried about it get some of those nifty :rainbow:streetlocks to kickasphalt:flipoff2: Newbies:rolleyes: Dead Sled 05-22-2002, 07:55 PM Whats the matter are your 31's not making it up the curb in the mall? no one told you about the search button yet, have they?

My only comment to you is- If you don't know what kind of maintenance beadlocks need, then you don't need them!

Colorado, they're legal, and I run 'em all the time. Like Bigdude said, though... if you think you can just put beadlocks on and forget about 'em, please don't run 'em. At all. kickinasphalt383 05-23-2002, 02:07 PM Originally posted by Scott@Rockstomper Like Bigdude said, though... if you think you can just put beadlocks on and forget about 'em, please don't run 'em. At all. i am not too worried about legality, i am more worried about the maintenance that you guys talk about. like do all i have to worry about is the beadlock bolts breaking or loosening? or is there more to the upkeep of the wheels than just that? thank you Scott@Rockstomper 05-23-2002, 02:42 PM Originally posted by kickinasphalt383 i am not too worried about legality, i am more worried about the maintenance that you guys talk about. like do all i have to worry about is the beadlock bolts breaking or loosening? or is there more to the upkeep of the wheels than just that? Mostly bolt condition--loose/tight/broken/whatever. reddwarf 05-23-2002, 03:57 PM Scott, thanks for answering the guy's question. If you guys hate this type of newbie question, just don't post at all and it will go down the board. When you post "you're suck a fucking idiot" repeatedly, this topic stays at the top of the forum.... I'm stupid and I figured that one out...just wanted to point that out. Sorry for prolonging your excrutiating agony:rolleyes: | |
