DIY Beadlocks

[Bones]

Got a set from Bobby Long (Longfields) last week. They are pretty typical in the DIY lock department. Thing I liked about them over others is the inner ring sit inside the wheel lip and not on the outside edge, and it has a 1/4-3/8" ring around it to prevent the outer ring from coning in much. Also it's $75 SHIPPED per wheel He only offers std. hex bolts (which I prefer anyway) and nutcerts. Welded up all 5 wheels in 3-4 hours and painted and siliconed the weld Sat. night.

Mounted them up last night. Very simple and straight forward. No leaks as off this morning anyway.

They were royal blue, but my wife told me how gay that looked, so out came the hammerite grey.

Nope, that guy was my bro-in-law. He tends to burn bridges and guess what? He did it again Oh well, $375 for 5 sets of locks to my door IMO is a great deal.
