any pix of beadlocks or rockcrawler wheels?
I like the rugged functional look of beadlocks and steel wheels, will these work on the H3?
Is anyone running something like these with pix? thanks, Bill

Hell yeah they will work, well with the right lug pattern of course. Cheap, solid rim too. You just need to get at least a 16" rim, or make sure to measure clearence of brakes first. 15" will not work. I dont think a lot of guys or gals are running beadies on their H3s because they aren't street legal and most of us daily drive ours. They look and work great though! I am always looking online for a set of used beadies to run on the trails only.

Re: any pix of beadlocks or rockcrawler wheels?
got sand, awesome "no-bling" H3 you have there! I like my white H3, but it excludes a lot of blacking out or you end up with a cop car!  I don't want to "bling" mine out as it is a daily driver to off road rig sites. The wheel pic in my post is not a true bead lock and is available in 16". I was concerned about too much offset causing damage to the bearings.

Too little backspacing will eventualy wear out bearings.. Im running a 4.25" BS right now and have about 30K miles using these wheels..So far everything is good. Kinda hard to say how long the bearing will last.. Just do it!!!

In keeping with the no-bling theme I added this $10 eBay brushguard and leftover mudflaps to my rig this week:
(I'm going to sell off the chrome nerf bars and get black Rocky Road rails.)
