Hey guys just thought i would post some picks of the beadlocks i picked up a couple weeks ago. i got a set of five, Trail Ready locks for 450.00 from a guy here in town. they are used but i am in the process of getting them cleaned up and looking good before they go on the ol' pumkin!
I work at a large welding shop, we do sandblasting and have a huge powdercoat oven that we use every day. we also have tons of colors of powdercoat in stock and i can get just about any part for my truck done for a very low price! i am planning on doing the wheels in matte black and the rings will be copper metallic. so heres a few pics for the marlin mob!

nice thats a great price

pumkin toy · January 13, 2009, 08:55:19 PM

thanks guys! yeah it was a great deal, i couldnt pass it up. they were a little abused, but should look just about brand new when im done with them!

pumkin toy · January 16, 2009, 10:54:23 PM

well i'm starting to get really antsy!! i was hoping to have my wheels all powdercoated by this weekend, but that didnt happen. they were to busy at work to get to them. it is supposed to be nice out all next week so they will be doing lots of sandblasting. hopefully they will be done next week sometime! i will post pics as soon as the are done.

pumkin toy · January 19, 2009, 10:32:37 PM

small update on the locks. they got sandblasted and are ready for prime and color!

i got a couple pics of what they look like after blasting. hopefully color will be on them by the end of the week.

pumkin toy · January 21, 2009, 04:56:36 PM

thanks guys!! Well the guys in the paint shop at work said that they can probably get to them friday. we are getting some cold crappy weather on friday so they will be inside powdercoating stuff all day. hopefully i can post some good pics with the powder on them friday night! Yeah i will deffinately keep you posted on how i like them. I will also be posting some pics of the tires getting mounted up. if they are done i will probably work on that friday too.

pumkin toy · January 24, 2009, 12:03:03 PM

they got my locks done yesterday! $Beer Chug\'n$ heres a few pics. they are cell phone so they arent the best. the weather is also really crappy here today. i woul have preffered to take pics outside in the sun so you guys could see how good the rings look, but that isnt possible today.

83yota · January 24, 2009, 01:55:10 PM

they look good even inside $Beer Chug\'n$

thanks, cant wait to see how they look on the rig!

snowshoebrue · January 24, 2009, 11:30:03 PM

they look good

mounting beadlocks is easy, just get some soapy water and they will slide right on. then hang them on a bucket in the rim when you fill them up so the tire weight helps seat the bead

pumkin toy · January 24, 2009, 11:34:23 PM

thanks for the tips snowshoebrue! my lock rings are about the same color as your roll cage
