I have experience with 3 sets now, over tightening is not necessary they really don't need to be tight at all. I would say 10lb/ft is enough, but it's just a case of tightening evenly. Because of the number of bolts you need less clamping force on each one. The tyre seals on the inside not the beadlock ring side so no need for it silicone on the outer ring. Jez, i would use m10 x 50 with a washer front and back and a nylock nut, then tighten until the thread of the bolt protrudes from the nut a thread or 2. Well that works for my mates set, he had mudzillas.

Excuse the stupid question but I have to ask it.

is it possible to have beadlocks made on aluminium Dick Cepek DC2 ?

wildwood · « **Reply #377 on:** March 23, 2016, 09:16:55 AM »

Thanks for that Ian.

Widjeeper
Again in my anorak research the guys ar JP mag took some alloys and the company they used machined the outer rim off and welded a beadlock edge.....with threaded holes already in it.
Then alloy outer ring was supplied for the beadlock

it can be done with Hummer H2 alloys like I have..... But not in UK.....looks to be an expensive job probably as much as buying street beadlocks over there.

Also read that on H2 wheels edges crack and threads get pulled through so all in all a bit of a Curits egg!

So..... Beadlocks are happening, and I think I've got at least one relatively leak free for off raod use....
Wheels,are wider and with more offset that H2 wheels which are 5 3/4" Back space .
These are 4 1/2" with a bit more due to the replacement centre so just measured and

Truck is 5" wider....OH YES this puppy will be difficult to tip......

It's only when you point to where you think I should go Tim that it all goes 'shape of the pear'

Thanks Jez,

Sorry for the delay to reply.

Another project has cropped up since I asked that question so it went straight to the back burner but when I saw Ezz tyre saying good bye to his rear wheel during the Clyro weekend that subject came back to the surface !

If it's possible I will have to study the case seriously but might not be for these coming months unless I work overtime every days off I have for the rest of the year.

These are what you want Chris, both beads are locked

Widjeeper62 · « **Reply #384 on:** April 05, 2016, 08:29:34 PM »

Thanks Ezz.

Very nice wheels but 5 of these + shipping and import tax/duty would cost between 2.5 and 3 Grand so I will keep my wheels for now. I checked the Pdf Instructions. I never thought that was that technical !!

Ezz · « **Reply #385 on:** April 05, 2016, 10:22:48 PM »

Can't remember who but someone in the uk sells them, about £400 each,

I bet Dave at llama could get them for about that too..

Agree, but not sure they do a 5x5 tho..

wildwood · « **Reply #388 on:** April 14, 2016, 03:59:11 PM »

Ha ha ha bloody ha ha ha.......

All 4 beadlocks are on and looking good.......

As I said wide old girl now..... 86" bulge of the tyre to same the other side.....

And my garage doors?

??

87"

Edit.....land now it's stopped monsooning I thought I would measure my trailer......

Exactly 86" where the bed stops and goes up at 45 degrees at the side.......

Almost like I planned it.....

If you're using F250 snow fighter axles Ian you might be the same width........?

There will be no slipping through some of the trails bordered by trees at parts of Ribbo.

isle of man · « **Reply #389 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:44:09 PM »

Problem with the MOFOing trailer is the light pods !!!

wildwood · « **Reply #390 on:** April 14, 2016, 08:16:34 PM »

Think my light pods flip over enough so the spikes are out of range......

Or else I'll have to make a few mods so they come off.

I guess you are the same width or wider by a few inches with the 44s?

Indeed...too wide need to make good.

My axles are f250, 70" wms to wms so I'm going to be similar in width, little narrower I think but still bloody wide! I'll measure it this morning. Are you going to breakout?

wildwood · « **Reply #393 on:** April 15, 2016, 08:56:11 AM »

Hopefully.....all paid up, and ready......just got to bleed myself a clutch.....

bisleywrangler · « **Reply #394 on:** April 15, 2016, 08:54:12 PM »

Hopefully I'll see you there, got to get mine through an mot first though as I have no trailer etc.

Measured the width of my tyres tonight and like yours it's 86" front and just over 86 at the rear.

Brave man.....on the road with 40's and Beadlocks...... :icon_super:respect.....

I picked up one of my H2 alloys and a bead locked steel the other day......the difference is large....

I noticed on the paperwork I was burning today whilst tidying up that the inner and outer beadlock rings are about 40 kgs......

Still.....like I said .....might help to keep those wheels on the deck

bisleywrangler · « **Reply #397 on:** April 15, 2016, 09:49:27 PM »

Yeah it might be a bit hairy driving but i'll get used to it

I can't pick up one of my complete wheel/tyres, must be 50kg or so. With the weight of the axles there should be no rolling over problems!

But we'll see!
