So let me get this straight. The wheel has a high lip/ridge inside and the bead lock ring I see clamps to it and sandwiches the tire edge/bead effectively locking it in place to prevent it from slipping off the wheel?

 

this should give you a idea

 

When i refer to weekly and monthly maintenance I am assuming that these are going onto a daily driver.

Checking bolt torque and catching them at a quarter turn from tight is very important when you put ~40 miles a day on your Jeep and you have 128 little grade 8 bolts trying to turn free. Checking tire pressure becomes more important when its your daily driver.

 

Thank you all for your knowledge. While this is not something I need now or probably ever, having knowledge is good.

 

I run trail ready beadlocks and 35's and have found that I can get over stuff like larger rocks because of the expanded foot print when I am at 8psi.

I was at 10psi during this run...



I have minimal maintenance and I am able to mount the tires myself and only have to have them balanced which I do myself at my buddy's shop.

 

I run 8 psi without beadlocks. I'll probably try to run around 4 when I get beadlocks in the spring

 

Hutchinson Rock Monsters - approx $400 and change each.
They are very stout, do not need a ton of maintenance, and can be done at home.

 

There is also the Staun Internal Beadlock system. Haven't seen many reviews on them, but might be an option.

 

My buddy runs those and has been very happy with them!!!
I myself just picked up some Trail Ready ones and can hardly wait to get them on my jeep and sell my Mickey Thompson wheels with simulated beadlocks.

 

I am currently running spyderlocks and like them. I have friends that run trail readys and swear by them. Honestly if you get any reputable brand you will be fine.
