Beadlocks are not illegal. That is because there aren't any regulations or statutes concerning them.

Drove all the way back to the cabin, and never broke the bead, or even hit the rim. The Staun's do act like a run flat, and saved my group hours of time. In retrospect, I would have probably continued to wheel that day had I known how great those beadlocks worked.
Well, there you are.

Did you figure out the problem with the timing and the EFI setting?

Glad you are wheelling the crap out of the old beast!
