My slabs have a batch of bad bolts for the beadlock rings. They rusted quickly. I have the new bolts. My question is would it be ok to change one bolt at a time without letting the air out or can I just go bolt by bolt on my jeep?

 

I dont know if it would hurt anything but I would probably let the air out just to make sure. Not like it would take much longer.

 

You can do one bolt at a time.

I did that on my Walkers because I forgot anti seize during the install.

 

Let the air out. Go one bolt at a time then retorque the whole ring.

 

You can do 1 bolt at a time while it's still aired up and mounted. I've done it both to my 32 bolt Monster Beadlocks and to my 24 bolt TrailReady's.

If you're on the trail and happen to shear a bolt and need to put a new one it, it would absolutely suck to have to unmount the wheel/tire and air down then install the replacement bolt.

I've had 4 bolts shear before at one time on the Monster's and it still held air. Then again that's where having more bolts to hold the ring on has it's advantage.

I know the Slabs have less bolts than the Monsters. I think it might be the same count for the TrailReady's

 

im looking real hard at upgrading to the slabs, any other rim I should be looking at in comparison?

That depends... do you ever post on wayalife?

 

I love over the site but I am more of a lurker

so if the slabs weigh 67 pounds and my 37's weigh 86 pounds

I've got to see how much my pro comp steel rims weigh, pro comp 98's

Probably about 30 lbs per wheel for the procomps. I highly doubt that a slab weighs 67lbs, where did you hear they are that heavy?

 

I believe it was a thread on here
