On your fenders, did you replace the oem plastic clips? I'm needing to do something, the big white oem clips after doing the fender chop is gross. I have extra hardware from doing the inner fenders but wasn't sure if that would work.
I had ordered the American Adventure Lab fender retention HW in black. It's much stronger than those clips as they have rivnuts.

Got to take the group out to a trail on the AZ side of the border. You can get a better view of the wheels. Not a YT'er so don't expect some fancy video....

Unfortunately not at this time and BB rarely lets us put them on sale.

We do have a couple specials going on other beadlocks:
WP:https://www.northridge4x4.com/wheel-pros-sale
KMC: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/...c-wheels-km299-machete-beadlock-wheel-package
Those tank beadlocks are nice..... on my wheel bucket list in bronze. But very happy with the BB wheels I got already. It's like my 4th set of beadlocks through you guys haha.

Just remembered on a previous rig, I did use these at some point as well from Amazon, I'd get you a link but they aren't available now, but I'm sure there are other sellers with it:

Edit - Went into Amazon for a quick search:

Are KMC Machete back in production? I thought they were discontinued.
We got them in stock, so either they are still in production or those are the last of them, BUT either way you need to click the link and order some! 😄

Ok, so I'm not sure how I didn't notice until yesterday changing out lug nuts. Thought I saw something out of shape on the wheel around the lug hole. Turns out that the holes drilled into the wheel are not symmetrical with the wheel design itself.

Different wheel and application but I had some BBS LM wheels in the past on a different vehicle and everything is "equal", from the lug holes, to the bolts attaching the spokes/disc to the wheel itself and the split spokes.

,

On the BB wheels, there are 8 split spokes which doesn't match with 5 lug holes. You can see the holes are sometimes on the spoke design itself, while other times it is offset. They could have made the renegade wheel with a set of 10 split spokes and then the bolt holes would have been more equal with the design. This design goes much better for an 8 lug rig.

Kind of like realizing your GF has severely lop sided ( . Y.) and unable to "unsee" it. And yes.... if I would have noticed this earlier, I would have made a different purchase. Still like the wheels but we will see how long this lasts.

Sounds like you just need some 8 lug axles and a new set of these wheels with the proper pattern.


The one tons are calling to you...😉

Unfortunately you're absolutely correct, but my bank disagrees.

Understandable, but does it look like that bank man has any fun?

I actually noticed that yesterday when looking at those and the other ones they sell. Idk if it would be a deal breaker to me or not. I’d probably be like you and it bother me.
