Yea whats the deal with that? I've been hearing that you can spin a bead off real easy on 16.5's for some reason. Whats the diff?

Someone also told me I'll need to run a double beadlock in order to keep the bead on at low pressure

the reason they come off is the lack of the lip that rides against the inner edge of the bead if you look at a set of 15's and then look at your 16.5's you will see a little ridge on the bead that helps keep the bead seated on the 15's and on the 16.5's it will just taper down so the only thing holding the bead on is air pressure i personaly would not run the 16.5s

I will, they'll just be beadlocks.

Get the Hummer beadlocks, they clamp both sides.

Shamb, i like the rear taillight setup. Recently i was thinking of doing the EXACT same thing because i thought i had a new idea. But it looks like i will have to come up with something else.

Shamb · « **Reply #35 on:** Apr 21, 2006, 08:28:49 PM »

Yes its a full floater, It came off a utility truck I believe. Bought it off a buddy that went to OK. to retreive it.

Lol that was a majic marker, my buddy Rudy is a painter and was f'n off while I was sanding them smooth. We did the flames on my hood in about 2 hours. Gonna redo the flames once its all said and done, probably paint it gun metal grey.

Personally I don't like the taste of rubber but do what you must!

Ramrod · « **Reply #49 on:** Apr 26, 2006, 10:37:09 PM »

so what kind of links and joints are you gonna run on there? Are you using any kind of link calculator to set them up? I could ask so many questions to every person with links right now

http://shaffersoffroad.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=459

Something similar to that, just a bit bigger, links are like a 1 1/4" (can't remember exact size right now) by 1/2"

I'm not doing the links, I started major research... got pictures and started calculating X/Y axis points, anti sag.. blah blah.. and figured out it would take me twice as long.. besides I dont have the right resources to do it. I know a guy that own's a shop in YC that does bad ass work.

Rock-n-Roll offroad off Garden Hwy, Curt (the owner) is damn good with setting up links and tubing. You can see pictures of his buggy in the Peterson's 4x mag a few months back when they did the article on Fordyce.

I'll post new pic's on Monday.

Shamb · « **Reply #53 on:** May 01, 2006, 04:44:11 PM »

Nothing to exciting for this week, pulled the hood off, lights and shaved the corners. Hopefully have the links on by next weekend. I'll post up pics later.

Shamb · « **Reply #54 on:** May 05, 2006, 08:36:27 PM »
