converting to beadlock wheels
Has anyone converted their existing wheels to beadlock.
I have the 17" alum wheels from the dealer. I like how they look and was thinking of converting them .
What do you think.
I was also wondering if it would be posible to get inner tubes instead? Do they still make them?

A beadlock is a nice wheel allows me to run low tire pressure on the trail for better traction, But they are more labor intensive. Every month I go around and retorque the ring bolts as they like to loosen up. I run the ATX Slab, about $327-425 per wheel.
I would not convert a non-beadlock to a beadlock tho, IMO your better off buying them already made. Just feels safer. Now if your not going to use them on a daily driver or long periods of fast heavy driving I say go for it! But if your going to run them on the street invest in some already made.
