P1000m5 Beadlock rims.

[zin01]

Before all you guys go saying using the search function I did and it only came up with 3 posts and none of them answered my questions. First a little back ground. I was riding the other weekend in the mud at night and I don't know how I did it but I got stuck (well I know how I did that) but I piped the outer bead on both front tires. Once I recovered the pioneer I was not able to get the bead off the other side to wash out the rim and tire. I tried driving on the tire very close to the rim with my tractor and all it would do is flatten the tread of the tire. So I took the tires down to a shop had them pop the beads took them home cleaned out the tires and the rims and took them back to have them put back on. So I said to myself I know how to cure this problem if it ever happens again. Get beadlock rims. But my question is them only lock one side so will I still have the problem getting the inside off the rim? Should I get duel beadlock? Besides running lower pressure is there any other benefit? For people who have them are they worth the hassle? Thanks

I just had a set of sti hd9's mounted but haven't had a chance to get them off-road yet. I kept knocking tires off the bead as well. Really hoping these cure that. Haven't knocked the inside bead off yet though so hoping that's not a problem.

What psi were you running when you were knocking them off?

I got them. It's just a hassle. I run rocktane tires . Reason I bought beadlocks was that I had problems with the bighorn 2.0. I don't think I need bead locks anymore. I just decrease and increase tire psi on the trail as needed with a superflow compressor.

What psi were you running when you were knocking them off?

8-8.5 psi.

8-8.5 psi.

You were knocking the evos off?

You were knocking the evos off?

Only happened a couple times. Both was at wierd angles putting alot of stress on tire.

If I spend the money on headlocks it will be for dual headlocks. If I bought just outers then had issues with the inner I would be a mad sucker. Might as well get inner and outer. My $.02

Probably worth what you paid for it...

This is sound advice!!

If you have the base model with steel wheels you can email ebay sellers that offer 15" and up metal bead lock diy kits and they can cnc a set for around $139. You would need to be able to weld or have a good friend that can weld and likes free beer.. I've only blown the outside bead off on mine. Usually the inside bead is easy to seat n the outside is a PIA.

A true bead lock is on the inside and the outside. If it's just the out side it's very hard to change out. You shouldn't have much of a problem with tires popping off any beadlock if the bolts are torqued down all the same with a torque wrench.

With beadlocks comes more maintenance. You'll need to routinely check torque of the bolts to prevent leaks. You'll also deal with sheared bolts occasionally. In all the years I ran Jeeps never popped an inner bead off, not saying it won't happen, but never to me or anyone in my group. Beadlocks always seem to leak just a tad. I got tired of dealing with it and slimed em. No leaks anymore. I run 14x7 HD with 28x10x14 Roctane XD

I have never had an issue with my beadlocks on my 700 or my 1000. I would not own anything else as these machines are to heavy and can easily pop a bead off. I run single beadlocks. I have never had an issue with popping an inner bead even on a normal rim. If you have to change the tire on a beadlock, it's very easy. There is not any hassle with them. I run between 5-8 PSI pending terrain. I would not worry with a dual as it's not needed. You can watch all the pro hill climbers and they run a single.

Thanks for all the info guys. So with the single bead lock is it still a PITA to get the inner bead off or will it pop off pretty easy? Also I'm looking at running the same size tire all around so is that a 14x7 rim. I don't know crap about rims. I know I want to run a 14x10 tire either 27 or 28 inch tall

I've never had a problem un-mounting a tire.
