i have a set of the black classic locks with the removable ring (before they discontinued them). Problem is a couple of the rings are a little rashed up and bent. I'd like to get a set to look pretty when shes all shined up and use the others for crawling. I cannot seem to find a set ANYWHERE. Any ideas? I'd put this in the WTB section but I think I am going to be looking towards custom or a vendor at this point. Thanks all!

 

I got lucky and found a set of those rims with the locks rings, I looked for some time before scoring them off CL. I have looked for replacement rings but failed as we'll have u tried calling M/T ?

 

If you keep changing the rings the bolts and where they thread into are eventually going to loosen up and then you'll have a rattle(that you will think is something else until you discover it's the loose rings) I know from experience... After banging the thin aluminum rings off a lot of rocks here in Ontario and in Moab and them bending outwards..... I was all set to have a fabricator do me up some thicker steel rings then re-tap the holes and bolt them back on with new bolts.... But I had a buyer for them as is and I bought some Trail ready beadlock wheels.... I'd get some steel rings made up...... Plus I like the look of the scars left on them after wheeling ... Good luck

 

bdavid - Funny as it sounds I havent called M/T. I was thinking if they are discontinued I would have no luck. No harm in trying though.


robsjeep9 - I was actually thinking of having a set made out of UHMW to make them a little more replaceable. The other part that drives me nuts is they were run for two x one hour drives in the winter and all the bolt heads look rusty. So my plan was to have a set made that only had holes for the actual mounting bolts.

 

On a side note I am heading up to your neck of the woods Rob this weekend. Doing some crawling/overlanding in Ardbeg.

 

Cool Ardbeg is fun .... The play areas off the paths are fun to play around in .... Rocks etc
We're probably headed up there in October again before the trails close down.... In a few weeks headed up to Greens mountain and to so some other trails in Bobcaygeon/Minden
