XJ has new shoes ( made my own beadlocks )

BRUISER · Apr 26, 2005

Well after many times going wheeling and Popping Beads I decided that I should get some.

So I made my own...

I took some measurements and put them into Autocad
then I used 1/4 Plate and Laser cut them out...

I was very surprised at how nice they turned out..

Best part is I get to test them out next Saturday.

Well done!! I was trying to figure out how i could accurately cut bead locks on a manual lathe, but according to, laser is the way to go!! What kind of material did you use?

I used 1/4" Steel.. set a 4'x8' sheet onto machine and let computer cut them out
