Funny thing is it still has illegal beadlocks on it. Hope some poor bastered didnt mount those tires for him because he is going to be paying out his a$$ in a few months.

This is for you Phil,


the screw that hold the carrier pin in had snapped and they drilled it out, then put a larger drill bit into it and snapped it off to hold the carrier pin in place

Aren't beadlocks illegal for road use?

Can he prove he never drove it on public roads?

I have been told if they are D.O.T approved they are all right but i do not know if that is true or not

I haven't looked into this is depth in over a few months, but for some reason beadlocks being downright illegal has been the most thrown around myth in the offroad scene that I have ever seen.

An automotive part isn't neccesarily considered illegal, just because it doesn't meet DOT approvals. I've done some research on the subject, and as far as I know there is no such law directly elluding to beadlocks being downright illegal for road use. With that being said, if an accident were to occur causing someone else injuries, I personally wouldn't be surprised if some hot shot lawyer could find some way to pilfer money out of someone claiming beadlocks were the cause.

If someone can proove me wrong, be my guest. "My dickhead neighborhood cop told me", is not a valid arguement, btw.

Doesnt the military use beadlocks on the H1s??

Wow.

I wouldn't think that 35psi could do that much damage. I'm not saying that I want my tire to explode in my face to find out though.

[hippie metal]

Wow.

Still, no excuse. Drill bits aren't designed to take lateral load.

I like how you always bitch about this (and they know you always bitch about this on the internet), and then you go there and ask them to do more work on your other jeep.

Always bitch about this? I have mentioned that twice on the internet, had it NOT of happened at all, it would not have been mentioned twice on the internet. As for asking them to work on my jeep, asking them for work, I simply messaged Adam online, and asked him for a rough estimate on what it probably would cost to have a clutch linkage fabbed up so I could get a base of what I expect to pay in general, then RJ's father took care of it and it works great now.

Hence why my second post was stating that I heard it was an all new staff and that their work had gotten better ten fold, if that instance happened to you, do not act like you wouldn't mention it when/if one of your friends starting talking about having the same establishment do work on their vehicle.
