Baby got new shoes

[rusty_tlc]

New Choose....
Who knew you could stuff so much tire into an FJ60?

Rock Rings to protect the bead lock bolts

Half way there

The other side

The O-ring seal

The PVC insert that makes it a true double bead lock wheel

Krylon goodness to protect the wheels from rust

Four of the five wheels ready for paint

Can't wait to see these babies in action. You won't know how to wheel with tires that actually grab the rocks. Double bead locks?? what can you run your pressure at 2lbs now?? Awesome.

You can actually run 0PSI.

I'm thinking I need to groove thos big tread block to get any flex out of these babies.

He's almost legal after having security called on him at the DMV the second time around!!

Of course Chris would be welcome. DMV has security? People goin postal-they force you into it.

Very Nice, what's the weight difference?

 

[Krusty Krab]

Looking good. See you get new tires and rims and attractive women magically appear . Like in the picture. Hi Joann

Really glad to hear the death wobble is gone. That makes travel much nicer.

They look great. Your ride is higher also. looks like a different rig!
Not sure about the beads tho- It is under a lb-Does that really make a difference???

I was following charts I found on line for other dynamic balancing media, they pretty much called for 6 - 8 oz so I bumped that up to 10 oz.
You can actually feel it when the wheel speed get high enough for the beads to even out and do their thing, so I'd say yeah they work.

Thats cool on the beads. I know they work cause they use them in competion rigs. For the life of me I can't understand the physics behind it with just that small amount of weight.

Most tire/wheels don't take more than a few ounces to balance with regular weights.

The nice thing is I don't have to worry about scrubbing these weights off on rocks, or the wheel going out of balance when it gets full of mud.
