Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

There used , or able to be used in a lot more than u think. Check the site out.
The beads work. The only issue you may run into revolves around the TPMS sensors. The company that makes the Dyna Beads claims it isn't an issue, but there have been problems traced to these types of balancing systems before. I've personally seen an issue on a late-model Tahoe (very close to Jeep's sensor) about a year after the bead use, involving 3 of the 5 tires they were installed in. That's why I didn't put them in my tires when I first got them. I had planned to move the sensors over to my new rims (which I didn't wind up doing due to a lack of maintenance kits at the time...DOH!) Need to do that before the feds find out.

Through the grapevine I've heard of a half dozen or so cases that were similar--involving Jeep, Chevy, Ford, Toyota, GMC and Nissan. That said, I know at least three people personally (not 100% sure if one of them has sensors still) that have had zero issues with the beads (on Silverado 2500HD, Ram 2500, Toyota FJ.) I'm sure you can find plenty of people out there with similar stories as well.

I don't have sensors anymore. I removed them and used SC to turn off tire light.

Used my Bestop Hoss hardtop and door cradle.
Works great to store my unlimited hardtop and all 4 doors.
Everything fits in a nice neat small space.
