JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Beadlocks Let's see them!

Wouldn't mind seeing every ones setup. I just purchased a set of Rugged Ridge wheels and they are just not doing it for me.

Reservations:

Balancing issues.
Daily Driving.

I plan on going 37's within the next few months after the supporting upgrades, just wasn't positive if this is an avenue I wanted to go down.


Any regrets? Tips and Tricks?

ATX Slabs and Nitto trail grapplers. No balancing issues but I do retorque beadlock rings once a month. Very heavy wheel/tire combination....

Same here. Solid combo but heavy. I retorqued every couple hundred miles until they settled in and then every 3000miles or if we do a particularly nasty trail I will check them. The rings hold up incredibly well against the granite we have around here.

ATX Chamber II's with 40" Mud Grapplers. Very little weight to balance. Surprisingly smooth and VERY LOUD

Slabs and 37" trail grapplers here as well. Just check the bolts after trips or every few hundred miles and you are golden. The rings on these are solid and hold up well on rocks.

Went on a small road trip to Canton this weekend, and I tell you my wheel setup was perfect at 75mph. However the usefulness of beadlocks and the appearance alone makes me want them. The maintenance doesn't bother me, it's if they will balance.

Diy beadlocks on 41.5. Probably about 175lbs between rim and tire
