 Topic: DIY BeadlocksPosted: 03 July 2013 at 5:05am |

I am mounting my tires on a set of DIY (weld on) beadlocks and I noticed the the bolts & nuts that hold on the outer ring didn't have lock washers.
Should I be using lock washers??  Thanks |

we just used regular washers on ours and all of our bolts stayed tight.

if you want a little more assurance use some loctite 242. Its a medium grade lock compound which will still allow you to remove the bolts without a lot of trouble.

I completed mounting the tires and installed them Saturday. Ryan thanks for the tip on the Locktite 242, it worked great.

Thanks, I'm not sure about the beadlock kit because Nick & I bought the set of wheels and tires from a guy on the forum. Nick wanted the tires and I wanted the wheels.
