Dave bought a second set of tires to put the new wheels on.
So Im pretty sure the slot mags are still an option...

I heard he sold the slots.
Hahaha.
I heard he sold the MAIDEN..... Soooo, hard to tell what's true around here anymore lol
He sold the maiden, kept the slots for resale, and the H1s are for the tow rig.
Clear as mud?

I heard he sold the maiden and the vett to buy a smart car.
True Jesse, we'll see how the Maiden likes em.
I think that we'll be doing something similar @Kerts shop. He has the same setup on his truck and said it was a breeze the way he did it!
I'm not getting rid of them Glenn, I've had these beadlocks for a few years now and will probably use them more for rocks than sand or street....although my street tires are looking OLD.
Someone remembers!
I just laid the tire on an angle against a block, pushed them in perpendicular to the tire, and spun them in. I thought it was crazy easy after hearing every one talk about the difficulty of doing it.

Same here, I didn't even use soap.
HECK YES...those wheels are ORANGE
It depends a lot on the tire. On 38" TSLs it was pretty easy. 37" OZ radials were very hard. Thinking about it, 39.5" Bias plys will probably be easy.
That's what I installed them on. My brother's 39.5 TSL bias plys.
I did it on 37" BFG military tires. It was simple.

we did them at Kerts shop...put the tire on the forklift, put the insert on top of the tire, and held in place by a chain underneath the forks, then lifted the tires up with an overhead hoist and the inserts popped right in place. We did have to drill a hole in the insert so it would clear the valve stem base on the rim though. The insert didn't want to go into position without a place for the valve stem to recess into the insert. we also dumped 12oz of balancing beads in each tire while assembling them.
My 2.5 year old son saw the cover photo of Maiden and kept saying "cool cool cool truck". So your truck is kid approved
