Hey guys...I have recently made some decisions to put this jeep up for sale. Only reason for posting is due to family situations changing. I'll be linking my for sale ad to here once I get a chance to create it. In the meantime if you want to reach out feel free to send me a PM.
Decided to have the wheels sandblasted this weekend. I've been trying to get these things finished up for a while and doing it by hand just wasn't working. The surface of the wheels is very porous now so the paint should cure great. Next photos will be of them painted :-D
BIG shout-out to Coating USA in Front Royal, VA for essentially salvaging these wheels. The sandblasting apparently was done with the incorrect media and damn near ruined these wheels, but Coating USA fixed it for me (they didn't do the blasting). These things took 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint to look this smooth. Not to mention they did it in basically 2.5 days! Highly recommend this family owned shop!
That color combo on the wheels looks incredible! Can't wait to see them mounted.
I'm very happy with how they turned out. I will be mounting them this weekend so I will post some finished photos on Sunday. Also taking this to the mid-Atlantic overland festival in PA if anyone happens to be going!
Subbed! Love the build man, I'm hoping to get mine setup for easier camping and excellent adventures. Keep doing what your doing, like to see more wheeling and mountain biking on this thread in the future.

Oh I have plenty of mtn biking photos, but I don't post them up here too often. If you have any questions about overlanding setups for the cherokee shoot me some questions. I've damn near had to fix everything on the jeep and did so with an overlanding approach.
Teaser pic of the beadlocks installed. Inside the garage with poor lighting on my cell phone, doesn't do the wheels justice. I'll get some outside pix this evening!

Great choice on the colors. Can't wait to see some better pics, but that looks awesome man.
Remove old wheels from tires. We thought we needed the tire machine to start the first bead, but it turns out just a small bit of lube and the tires slipped right on with no problems.
Luckily had a friend with a tire machine to pop the bead from the old steelies
Bucket with a towel on top works perfect
Tire in place, next step is the ring
In progress...5lbs, 10lbs, 15lbs, then 18lbs around 3 times.
Only had 1 beadlock ring hole that had to be re-threaded. Not too shabby
