For all those here running DIY Beadlocks, post up pictures of them. Along with your opinion on using them. Pros and Cons, are they a pain in the **** and would you do it again..

I like them, have had two sets myself, and helped a bunch of friends do them...

I have a buddy with access to a water jet, we give him measurements and a design and he draws them up on auto cad and cuts them for us.

24 bolts per tire sucks when you have to change a tire... I just ditched my 38's for some 37" MTR's and had to dis- mount and mount them again.. grab a 9/16 wrench and a air gun and go to town...it definitely sucks. But once you're done it's worth it. I run 4-6 pounds on slick rock in Moab and never worry about dropping bead.

Here's some we have made...

First set...


Second set...


These are 16.5's...




Mine..


Just did these...


And we have done a couple other just plain sets...
