Re: Important

So with aluminum beadlocks, they offer steel or aluminum outer rings. I'm not sure which to get. Do the aluminum rings get pretty beat up by the rocks and that's why they give you a steel option? I'm looking at Racelines from Dave's Off Road Supply.

Yeah, they can get beat up over time. I would get steel outer rings.

The raceline guy asked me if it was trail or race, then suggested the steel rings. The aluminum ones get rashed and then they get sharp and they cut your bead on the outside. The steel rings are more forgiving when you drag them on rocks.

But I just go to the mall, take kids to soccer, and go grocery shopping with mine.
Sometimes I think I'm cool and park on the curb though so maybe I will get the steel rings just in case.

Re: Important

I am working, but I came into work 45 minutes late. I will end up taking a 15 minute lunch break and eating food at work. Yesterday and today is 2.5x pay ($31.10 an hour for me) for 16 hours.

For the next month I am going to refer to my wife's vagina as the Christmas spirit, that way every other day or so I can get into the Christmas spirit.

Re: Important

I forgot what it is like to drive a close to stock Cherokee. just needs a trailer hitch and front recovery points (possibly a lunch box locker) and it will be good to go.

Cheap jeep is on the road as a daily driver
