Hot diggety dog those work well!!!  :twisted:

Like night vs day compared to the MT/R's. I only needed one tug today! And that was backwards cause I got high centered entering a hole. Darn grader skidplate.

Otherwise, I do need to get the body away from them tires. They sure do rub a lot when the suspension starts to flex. Even to the point I had to engage the lockers to overcome the rubbing tire basically locking up and the free wheel just spinning. My fenders seem to be my own worst traction enemy, and that's even compared to the skidplate!!

*sigh* more Just Emptying Every Pocket in my future...

I saw your ride go past downtown on Friday. The new wheels look fantastic. Looks like you got a great deal.

Based on your description of them rubbing in the fender wells mabe it should be a (grate) deal.

They still look good.

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.

Cheers
Chris



Hope I didn't mislead you...I'm pretty sure I posted them in my ad as Streetlocks...

BTW, I got the mud cleaned out of the two flat tires ($20 at walmart) and they both went flat again. :evil:

Gonna take them back and make them do it again...for free. :twisted:

Yep, no worries, I must have misread it. No biggie! :D

Darn those MT/R's; I know I didnt poke a hole in them. Get em done for free, maybe the ole squirt bottle with some soapy water in there will prove that they didnt do a good job.
