With the seats down and top off, 3...

Obviously, yours are much bigger than mine (39x13.5x17), but you could have stacked them much higher :

Looking awesome!! Amazing!

Two questions..

When you run bead lock rings like yours, how does water drain from the behind the ring? How does it not sit behind the ring and impact balance?

Are the JK stickers on your right rear corner.. the rugged, grungy one, available for sale?? Love that look!!

well, the water doesn't drain - it evaporates or, i use a rag to mop it up. there is no effect to the balance as the water disperses along the entire circumference of the wheel. if anything, it should help balance by filling in the areas that are off - dynabeads work much in this way.

that's what I figured.. I used to argue with folks about pooled water in the barrels of the wheels.. for some reason they didn't get the idea of centrifugal force
