Yeah getting good reviews too so far.... Have you tried balancing them yet? If so easy balance? My MTR's were a pain so much that last year when I went to Trail Ready beadlocks I never even balanced them lol

I will let you know how it goes when I get it back on the road. I was going to use balance beads, bit chickened out. Probably be next weekend before I get it on four wheels again

90% done. Ordered new Krawler joints from northridge 4x4 but only got 2 of the 4 UCA joints. Darn it! I called, they're going to handle it Monday.

Did Rubi's come with plastic side steps at one time? Tire/wheel combo looks great
