    because the drag racers arent using them as bead locks. i cant believe im saying this but read the pirate thread, my head hurts.

    If you use the screws the way the drag guys do, all the screw is doing is keeping the tire from spinning on the rim. You hit the tire hard agains a rock or something and push that bead out past the screw, that screw is going to rip the bead a new one. If you run the screws like the inchworm site then all they're doing is acting as barrier behind the bead but not keeping it from spinning. Screws just seem like a short term bandaid for rockcrawling that just happens to jack your wheel up at the same time.
