Beadlock tech

[jeeper89]

after riding with Dnmeister on bronco and seeing all 4 of his tires go flat from 8psi(i think) on his WE alum beadlocks, it got me thinking.

1)what is everyone running for beadlocks?(size ,width, material)
2)pros and cons you see for your beadlocks.
3)what PSI do you normally run?(specify the type of terrain, rocks, sand, snow)
4)what size tires are on them currently?(diameter, width)
5)are you happy with them?(why?)
6) what would you like to change about them?

1)Rock Crusher Bead Locks 16x10
2)CONS:heavier then alum, not much bling to them PROS:seem to hold inner bead easier then alum, cheaper then alum
3)i was running 3 PSI in the rear and 5 PSI in the front and wishing i was running lower in the front on the rocks. no loss of inner bead.(just to see, i pulled the valve stems out of the rear and drove around my yard for 10 min with 0PSI and no loss of inner bead:eek: )
4)38.5 x 15 boggers
5) yes, no loss of inner bead to speak of and i dont worry about scratching them:rolleyes:
6)i would make the outter ring wider then they are.

2 seat buggy...

1)WALKER EVANS 17 x8
2)PROS they look cool,and since they are walkers everyone knows you spent $$$,cons inner beads like to burp air at times with the krawlers on them..
3)Usually never below 10 psi
4)39 inch red labels
5)Pretty happy even when you hear them grinding against rocks!!!
6)Bigger inner bead ring to keep them planted....or just double beadlocks!!!
truggy...

1)custom center h1 hummer double beeadlocks 16.5 x 8
2)PROs they never have given me any problems....CONs-changing tires....or so I have heard!!
3)in the snow I have run them as low as 3-4 psi
4)44/18.5/16.5 tsls,on an 8 inch wide rim!!!
5)Happy with them,except who ever originally installed them didnt get the o-ring on the left front quite right so is is really hard to air down.
6)I would like them to be 10 inches or 12 inches wide.....

H2 wheels with weld on beadlocks from champion wheel. Gonna run 17"x42" Iroks. Havent run them yet. But they are supper light under 17 lbs I think.

1. !5X10 Steel Trailreadys
2. Pros: Nice wide ring, never lost an inner bead. Cons: The bolt heads are thrashed, and it's tough to re-torque.
3. I have run them at 4psi in the rocks w/o problems.
4. 37X14 Iroks
5. Yes. They haven't let me down, and do 80 on the freeway without shaking me to death.
6. Somehow protect the bolt heads from destruction.
