That is very clean looking. How are those beadlocks in general, and especially how well do they balance?
I'm now in the market for beadlocks and have so far liked the idea of the Raceline RT233-AL Monster 17x9.5 for 42x14.5 or 40x13.5 MTR Kevlars or 41.5x13.5 Pitbull Rocker radials.
I pick up the rear 14b Saturday and the front HP60 KP Sunday. Then the $$ really starts to fly out the door.

Not sure, just got them on today and I don't know anyone running them personally. The machining is clean and they come stock with polished rims.

I didn't get them balanced and they rode smooth as silk with bias ply 40's.

I went with these wheels for a few reasons, it seems every one is running either Racelines or Walker Evans now a days so I wanted to be different (plus I personally think these look better, but that's my opinion). The second reason is I wanted a bigger rock ring and these come with them for no extra cost. Last they come polished so there is no "upcharge" for that either.

You should, in no way, take any of this personally. It's just business. So to recap, I come in peace, I mean you no harm, and you all will die. Gallaxhar out.

I washed mine today, sanded the surface rust on the buttom and painted it so no more forms. Painted the surface rust spots on the hood, and fixed my exhaust leak at the exhaust flange

Give me a location and I'll bring a trailer....
Do you have lights and a horn? Have you tried to start it while in neutral?
Make sure you have a solid ground at the battery...... Jeeps demand a near perfect ground or they get all bent out of shape.

Read up on that stuff. It's better to spend $30 on a useful extinguisher than $15 on one that won't work anyways.
