05 Flame Red TJ Build

Man, that's $500 bones a piece! I built some up last night for fun. Geez, a lot of money for a wheel. YOu're cracking me up though, "He's going that direction anyway, might as well..."
Am I wrong?
I would also add that you wheel your Jeep alot and often with your family. So you would take full advantage of the beadlock wheels. Being able to air down will, in theory, provide more capability and a bit better ride offroad. Seems like it would benefit everyone in the Jeep one way or another.
The ONLY other beadlock I would recommend is actually cheaper, Walker Evans Racing beadlock. And they look really good too.
I've been waiting. I was hoping Easter weekend they might have a 10% off. I'm wondering now if we will see any sales given the economic hardship this is causing most businesses.
That is the price-saver vote. I saw the Cherokee last night, and those wheels are pretty cool. I might refinish them in gloss black and put the bigger tires on them. They would look really good. Hot Wheels would continue!
I re-did the whole front, new paint, it is looking very nice.
I run Core Tier 2 rear uppers and the rest MC Double Adjustables. No issues but I do plan to replace the Cores with MC (for ease of adjustment). I bought the Cores when I did the tummy tuck on a budget before I got the rest of the arms.
extrapolate that to the wheels discussion...Buy the Trail Readys
FYI @JMT, MC is having a 10% off and free shipping today. Use online code "JeepRelief".
Whoa, nice heads up. Thanks, this may have made my decision for me. Anyone have thoughts on big bolt vs normal bolt? I was thinking just the normal bolt aluminum, double adjustables
Normal bolt has served me well, and I didn't have to try and fit a drill in there for the rear uppers to drill them bigger.
Got double adjustable uppers and lowers, so it shall be easy peasy.
What about skids like the Currie mini skids? Or some other bolt on mini skids? What are y'all running?

I picked up the JKS mini skids and burned them in.
They certainly came in handy after running The Con.

Look good, wish I could weld, probably wouldn't cost much though.
I know it is too late, but I did the big bolts on mine, and really I only had to drill either the lowers or the uppers, but not both and it was so minimal that I was embarrased I bought a drill bit for it.
Ha I had some custom made in Moab last year after I crushed them on the On top of the world run!
