And bolted onto this...

Should look real nice. It's getting our Warrior 3" lift kit, and I'm going to develop some bolt on tube fenders.

was refering to the "NEED" on that rig. As in "how many times they have lost a bead to have the need for beadlocks" :confused1 some things are over-rated.

Those parking curbs can be a real bitch when you're showing off at the mall for the high school girls. Especially when you drop all the way down to 25 psi for the hardcore stuff.

Seriously though, it will be blingtastic.

Well, that's really an irrelevant point, but I guess that'll depend on whoever ends up owning the Jeep. They aren't on the vehicle because they're needed. They're on the vehicle because vendors use trade shows, and want their product displayed at trade shows.

In the end the vehicle will be sold and at that point maybe someone will put them to use.

Yeah we'll use it for SEMA and a few other things. Then around early summer hand it back over to the dealer, and let them sell it so the Jeep can start a real life.

Yeah there's no secret that we build alot of Jeeps with parts that we'll never use, but that's just part of the business.

I have fun doing the installs and design work on the product, so that's really all that matters.

Was relevant since they are a $1500 wasteless/needless mod (until breaking beads is a problem) and "are" illegal when ran on public roads (according to WSDOT and ODOT). I see "now" its another SEMA rig, thought it was a customers rig, bought new to bling through the Target parking lot. :confused1:confused1

1) Beadlocks are NOT ILLEGAL.

2) They are not a needless mod. They will do EXACTLY what they were intended for. On this vehicle that is to attract attention and to showcase a vendors product at a tradeshow.

1) State law requires all vehicles on its roads to have DOT approved wheels and tires. Will a cop take the time to look for these rims and take the time to find the codes, prolly not. But again still they are NOT DOT approved rims.

2) Yea they do what they are inteded to do, but a pointless mod when the rig has never lost a bead. I sit at 8-10 PSI just fine, romp the crap out of it and still have yet to loose a bead. May be my tire/rim size and combo but wont "waste" the money till loosing beads is a problem. But like i stated didnt know it was a SEMA rig

I mean AC is cool and all but not really that much of an item in Antartica :dunno:
