A buddy I wheel with pops a bead once every time out (42” Treps). It resets easily, but kinda a ritual now. :LOL:

Was wheeling the JL a little too hard, bought the YJ to really have fun.

I know how to fix the bead issue permanently should your buddy be interested. 😎

Now that you're wheelin the YJ how do you feel about your JL? My JL was a step backwards for me in terms of capabilities but there are still so many things I enjoy about it. Like Air Conditioning. :LOL:

My last TJ.

Each rig has it's place now. The JL does the camping and exploring duties (because of the glorious AC) and the YJ does the hardcore stuff. But, with how well the JL is built, it could be the recovery vehicle if needed.

Definitely gonna send my buddy to your website with a nice hint that double beadlocks are the way to go. :rock:

Our JL has found a nice place for us. We can fit the dogs now where we had no space in the TJ. Thanks for the mention to your buddy. I really appreciate the help. 😎

These are beautiful! :involve:
Thank you. I was rocking two tone wheels for awhile and swapped over to the all black and it has a soft spot in my heart. But that's one of the nice thing about this wheel. You get what you want! 😁

Can you make some that are half price and no insert? 😬

They look great hope you sell a lot!
Yes. It would be a normal non-beadlock wheel that works just like everything else. Which brings up a good point. YOU HAVE TO RUN THE INSERT WITH THIS WHEEL. I'll yell it louder for the people in the back.

Period. No way around it.

There is no bead retention built into my wheel without the insert. Which leads to much easier tire swaps when you get there.

Check this out. The barrel is tapered on purpose to make assembly and disassembly easier. But no safety bead since the insert does that job.

Working on an install tutorial to show people how simple it can be to mount up your own wheels and tires. 😁

So many beadlock options. Do I really need them? Probably not, do I care? Not at all! Great wheel man!

These look great. Bookmarking for the future.
Can you do two valve stems?
Yes. 2 valve stems are possible. If you have any other monster valves or quick air down valves you're interested in I'd be happy to help you get there. If you're ever in Thornton and want to put hands on let me know.

In a world full of black wheels, so stands a gleaming variant.
Well done.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feed back and positive words. I feel like the largest hurdle to overcome in my mind was making a design people like and so far everyone has helped me ease that concern. So I really mean it when I say thank you. :sun: :sun:
