    Don't buy MOPAR Beadlocks

    No, that definitely doesn't describe me. I don't like it when people ruin trails or aren't courteous to others as well. I didn't join to crap on the product. I couldn't remember my old login information so I was actually rejoining. I first joined back in 2018, but admittedly I don't post much...

    Don't buy MOPAR Beadlocks

    Why all the hostility? I feel like this thread is getting a little out of hand. Should I know more. Sure. I don't think I'm debating that. Am I learning. Yes, just like any beginner. But the statements like calling me childish (Jeeep) or to suggest that I'm ruining the trails (Snboarder113)...

    Don't buy MOPAR Beadlocks

    I was/am aware that I lacked the knowledge which is why I outsourced it. This was my first Jeep. First offroad vehicle in general. I think the JL was a first for a lot of people, and while an experienced Jeeper (I am assuming you are) would know all of this there are those such as myself who...

    Don't buy MOPAR Beadlocks

    Not many. About 70% break rate. Pretty awful. I may try when I'm back in Wisconsin (Currently I'm RVing around the country) to work harder at them in the garage, but I just don't have a good space to work right now. Certainly not worth the $ to have someone else wrench on them. Cost more than...

    Don't buy MOPAR Beadlocks

    Hi all, I'm going to share my experience. I hope others have had better luck, but for me the MOPAR beadlocks have ended in disaster. There are 25 bolts per wheel holding the ring on, and about 70% of them have seized. When trying to remove them, the heads just break off (See photos). The amount...

    KMC Machete vs Grenade beadlock weight

    Can anyone break down the difference between these? Besides the weight and look, they are almost identical on paper. Hard to tell what you're really getting for that extra 10lbs.

    Hi there!

    New old member here. I had a login years back, but I don't know if I lost it or if it's because the forum was updated and I never logged in since. Looks nice by the way :) I've got a few years experience off-roading, but among this crowd I'm still on the green side. Bought my first Jeep in...
