Thanks... glad you enjoyed 'em. The newest video updates are usually posted on my own site, at: http://www.serious4x4.com/videos/

I don't have much video of the Rockers, other than from about (0:45-1:30) in the Hummer Homecoming 2006 video clip (see link above) - I had switched back to the Boggers by the time we did the woods course the next day because 2 bolts broke on the ride home... nothing broke off-road, though.

The Rockers are great tires, and the beadlocks have been great too - the only problem I had was with the bolts that hold together the wheels themselves. I started popping the bolts that hold the wheel halves together while we were driving on the road. The new replacements I got from USA6x6 are a little fat, and require a press to install, so I haven't gotten around to replacing them yet -- as a result, I have been running mostly on the Boggers of late.

I believe the new bolts will resolve the problem - the old ones were as old as the original surplus military rims, and have likely been overtightened more than a few times in their lifetime.

I got a boxful of replacement bolts, and I will be swapping them in for the old bolts soon, so the Rockers should see some more action this winter.
