So after giving it some serious thought, I finally bit the bullet and picked up some KMC XD229 Machete Crawl Beadlocks for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. There are a lot of benfits to running a beadlock out on the trail and in this video I share with you thought behind picking these wheels and some of the pros and cons.

Love watching your videos on how your jeep build is transitioning. The new wheels look great. I'm a big fan of the chromed/polished wheel also. Can't wait to see the new bumpers and fenders, that will make it all come together for you. Should give it a very aggressive stance. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos, I really appreciate it. Because of your videos, I am going to get a couple of Auxbeam light bars for my truck, thank you for all of your product reviews. I'm a big fan of your live car/off road shows and videos and rig walk around S that you do.👍

Polished aluminum bead locks look awesome, it’s nice to see that look come back, I grew up with Crager wheels on our hot rods and those classic American wheels, I’m considering getting bead locks at the time of writing this, the hard part is going to find a shop that can balance them out for me, and you are correct Northridge 4 X 4 is awesome I’ve been dealing with them for many years.

Love the Machined color on your JEEP - Great choice. Im getting the Machetes's next month for my White 16 JKUR in 8x6.5. BUT still havent decided if I want Black or Machined for the white Jeep - I lean towards black then I see your Jeep and I lean the other way. Decisions , decisions ...... Love your Chanel - Keep us posted on the wheel updates - like ease of cleaning and how the finish holds up !

Hello Brother! Congrats on your retirement. I'm a Master Chief as well and got my JKU based on a promise that if I made it, I would buy a Jeep. Well I got the Jeep, now I'm jealous at all the mods that are out there. I just bought a set of paracord grab handles based on your instagram pictures, thanks for the inadvertent referral to supporting a fellow veteran! Sincerely, Ryan

Yeah, those wheels are very nice Brad. I was just thinking about going to a beadlock wheel myself. The only thing is, I don't get to air down past 20 lbs psi at all and the tires hold the bead great at that pressure.

@mariodesmo
@mariodesmo 7 лет назад
Those look fantastic with the Silver color of your rig. I think you made the right choice. I swapped out my stock factory aluminum rims on my TJ for MT Classic III's in black and it really darkened the look, even though my TJ is yellow. It made a huge difference that I'm not all that happy with, but there they are! Anyway, I think the aluminum finish with the beadlocks look great. Good luck with them and lets see them run some trails. Beadlocks will be a real advantage for snow, at 5psi!
@mariodesmo
@mariodesmo 7 лет назад
Also, the aluminum doesn't show scratches as much as black rims. Black rims require paint touch-up every time you get off the trial...
@ForensicPI
@ForensicPI 7 лет назад
Those looks GREAT. I have black pro-comps, and today they look terrible with all those gouges, so one day I will do this. And the bonus is you can replace the rim if they get real bad. One thing I noticed was the tire guy in the video. Since these wheels are aluminum I’d be concerned that someone would be too quick with the mounting, and strip-out the threading with the air gun. Aluminum is much more sensitive to cross threading, especially with an air gun. In other words, I would surely want them to get each bolt started by hand first.
@TrailRecon
@TrailRecon 7 лет назад
You are so correct, starting each both my hand is essential. These beadlock threads have steel liners and with 3/8th inch bolt they are pretty solid. Something we were discussing while he was installing the last wheel. He said he has has some of the smaller 5/16th bolts break on him in the past. Thanks!

Great looking wheel on a great looking Jeep. I ran beadlocks on my TJ rock crawler and they performed exactly as they were designed. My only problem with beadlocks is that they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to clean. Getting the mud out from behind the bead ring is an exercise in futility, to say the least.
