Bought a Taco

[DRAGOONRANCH]

If the tires are the 37", then they are probably the Goodyear Wrangler MT's. The bias were only 36".

That is ~300/tire, not far off what it will run you if you include your time as labor to do them your self.

Rim ~40
New Center ~40-75 (depending on pressed, flat or type of design)
Rock Ring ~45
Paint ~40
PVC runflat~40
Decent 37" Wheeling Tire ~50-15

That's close to 250/wheel&tire without labor. Deals can be found, and prices can fluctuate. If the tires are brand new (or real close) then it's a pretty good deal if shipping doesn't kill it.

I think it has been mentioned before, but the 8bolt rims are more than enough for what we do. We are not trying to run a 10,000lb truck out on the trails, and we aren't running tires up near the 35psi most of the time.

Hmm, his work looks solid but for $200 each I would go with Trailreadies.

This is why I am asking ya'll I have never run any kind of bead-lock before. I will look into these Trailreadies.

[Sharpe]

After lookin, Trailreadies are ~$300 each, plus tires so your deal might not be a bad idea after all. I thought they were cheaper.

The trailreadys will be lighter, but I think you would be hard pressed to find 4 of them w/ tires for that price.

EDIT: I am typing too slow tonight.

Ok thanks guys for the input. I am in no rush to get this done, just probably going to buy wheels and tires by the end of the year.

Pressed over flat center unless you need to keep a deep backspacing.

[FJAggie07]

yeah the quote above included Pressed centers also.

I recently purchased new inserts, o-rings, and other assorted items to rebuild my H1 rims and I bought it from 406 YJ. No problems and the inserts are beefy PVC. I run 8 bolts and my only leaking issues are more than likley due to me not greasing up the o-rings when I first put them together. My other issue was the ****ty inserts from USA6x6. One of them broke at K Rocks, causing me to debead a tire on Sunday.

Mounted/dismounting H1 rims is not fun. I took me about an hour per tire my first time and that was with a 12.50 tire. I am sure the wider tires are a bitch.

You would also want some sort of rock ring/rebar. Check Copperhead Fab for rock rings.

Ordered some 12 bolt beadlocks with PVC Inserts, rock rings, and 37" Radial Humvee Tires from 406YJ. I will post up pics when I get them.

Should look like this:

Decided today that a Lock Right Locker and 37's was a bad idea so I found a guy on pirate selling a Detroit for a Tacoma rear, should have that in the next week.

Also decided in Clayton that I really REALLY liked hippie's doubler in the ugly truck so I ordered me one from Marlin for the Taco. Fun times ahead. Can't wait to get this thing finished.

[uglyota]

meant to ask you where the taco was this weekend...also should have let you drive uglytruck a little bit, I let brian drive it. I wouldn't worry about the lockrite; that was my second busted inner on mine, but if you got a good deal on the Detroit it's definitely a better option. Shock-loading will frag a detroit though, so you might wanna upgraydd those axles

[FJAggie07]

I blew up my lock right in my front running 33x10.5's and the weak point was supposed to be the CV Axle. I hope the Detroit will be ok in the back if stuff breaks I will upgrade when it do, but as long as I am regearing the rear i might as well get a better locker in there.

[FJAggie07]

It's so shiny...

4.7?
