My H2 with 37s and bead locks

[SJ]

kdio:

Again, the tire and wheel combo looks great.

Not to be knit-picky, but the wheels are designed to look like bead locks. Bead locks are illegal for street use because they do not meet DOT specification.

If you want to see a wheel with functioning bead locks, every issue of Four Wheeler tends to have rock crawling Jeeps with a set of these off road wheels mounted.

Bead locks are intended for users that air down to dramatically low levels for compettion or serious rock maneuvers.

Any updates on rubbing while offroading? Great look but hard to beleive that they don't rub.

The offset on my after market wheels are different than the stock rims. I do not rub on my sway bars, but I ocassionally rub on the passenger side plastic liner in the fender well. This only happens if the wheel is turned sharply to the right and the suspension is at unusual angles. The rub is so slight that is has not even left a mark on the plastic.

Sign me up for the off road adventures too!!

How were you treated at Daugherty? I had a great experience when buying mine there.

We really ought to get a group of us Sacramento area people to go out for a bit 'o fun!

I think what it is is that real beadlocks aren't DOT approved.

I don't see why you couldn't put them on if you wanted to. I seriously doubt the guy doing your inspection sticker would notice.

You only really need them if you run insanely low tire pressure though. Those Jeep guys run tire pressure in the single digits with bead locks.

BTW, kdio, are those 17 or 18" rims?

Thanks,

Kelley,
I purchased the rims at 4wheel parts wholesalers (4wheelpart.com) they have shops all over the country. I checked their prices and they beat everybody in the Sacramento area. The rims I put on my truck are made by Weld and called Mountian Crushers. A friend put the Stone Crushers on his H2 and they also look great. I just want to get a different rim than his. The tires were purchased at The Tire Rack (tirerack.com), they were quite a bit cheaper than I could find anywhere else. Hope this helps.

Daughtery was awesome. I'd recommend them to anyone. You should come over for a couple of the bay area events, you guys. We're close, and their a BLAST! Think about Hollister in April.

Kelley, I also bought my H2 at Daugherty. They are one of the largest Hummer Dealer in the US. They have been great to work with. I liked working with Mike and Cindy so much, that I sent them four of my friends to buy their H2's from them. Their service department has also been the great, ask for Tifny if you need any service on your H2.
