Thanks to our friendly neighbourhood Cablesmurf, I have some slick looking 33" MickeyT Baja Claws on streetlocks.

Thanks Dan! I can't wait to try them out on the trail, I've been looking at the construction happening across the street from the shop, there is lots of mud there now due to the rains, and I drool from my seat in the lunchroom gazing at the mud!  :P

Cheers

Yeah, on the bolts that hold the fenders to the front clip, down in the wheel well. But only at full steer.

I havent tried flexing it out yet either, but I can ga-run-tee that the rears will.

Oh well.

Heh, I find my rig actually drives better with 33's on it! It's like she was destined to run them.

Yeah, yeah, let the razzing begin.  :roll:

Yep, its confirmed, they are streetlock rims. They look purty, purty enough to fool me (and others).

Yes, I'm missing a winch, I'm working on that.
Swap tires for a run? I think not.
Cost? Free, a while back Cablesmurf posted that he was looking for a straight up trade for stock Rubi rims and tires for those. So I did.

33" MickeyT Baja Claws on Streetlock rims, $0.
Cost to change over wheels from one Jeep to another, $0.
Being confused as to Streetlocks or Beadlocks, priceless.

It's OK to come out of the closet here, but don't tell the guys at work they are fake... :wink:

Ex-computer Nerd with fake beadlocks...guys in the shop will 'shun' you.
