What guy and what cat? I barely paid over 50 shipped for this one but I'm always up for looking at other options

Had a chance over the weekend to mount the wheels with the tires. Here's a pretty good idea of what we did.
Here's the 15x10 TrailReady beadlocks with 3.75 backspacing.
And here are the 36.8"x13.5" x15 Bias ply Super Swamper Iroks that are getting mounted on the TR's.
Seating the tire onto the wheel.
And finally getting that tire to settle.
Shot of the old valve stem.
Taking a blade to the valve and cutting it out.
Out with the old.
In with the new.
Shiny new valve.
Line it up and screw it in. I believe it was valve, rubber, insert, rubber, concave washer towards the rubber, nut, nut both 12mm.
And time to mount the ring.
And what I learned from doing the 1st tire is that I have terrible short term memory. So what I did was cut out 18 small pieces of paper and taped them next to each bead in a star pattern so that way I could reduce the time it took to torque down all the bolts.
Fuzzy's turn at the beads.
Maxx and Smithers going at it.
And vwalla, mounted beadlocks.
And then I rinsed, lathered, and repeated on the others.
I'll be putting the dyanbeads and airing the tires up here in the very near future. Helpful tips that I learned with the install. Cut the valve stem prior to mounting the tire on the wheel. Use soapy water or a lubricant to help seat the tire over the wheel. And of course above all be patient, they take A WHILE

Can't wait to see those mounted up on the Jeep! It's gonna be bad ass!

Thanks, I think we'll have to do some cutting to make them fit, so the question his how much
12-11-2008, 01:19 PM

Did you do the star pattern as well? I tried going in a circle the first time, big mistake lol
12-11-2008, 05:59 PM
star first then twice more in a circle

If it was that quick for you I am jealous. What torque setting do you use or just tight

I love this Jeep, great build and awesome 5.9L. I can't wait to see what the new meats are gunna look like on there. Do you think you'll have to trim?
12-15-2008, 11:51 AM
Thanks, appreicate the compliment. I rub at 3/4 turn on the 35's so I'm pretty sure I'll need to trim for the Iroks
12-15-2008, 05:06 PM
well, if they rub...i'll trade you my bumpers for yours already trimmed up and everything. straight up trade,i'll even come get them
12-15-2008, 05:34 PM
Hah your bumpers or lack of bumpers?
12-15-2008, 05:43 PM
i've got both bumpers
12-17-2008, 12:46 PM
I'm thinking it's going to fit either way. How much trimming have you done Roni on your body? I'm still debating the 1st lip or 2nd
12-17-2008, 01:03 PM
What do you mean by first or second lip? ha I don't remember what mine used to look like.....
12-17-2008, 01:55 PM
That would be you cutting up to the 1st lip that I was referring too. The 2nd lip would be no bulge left
12-17-2008, 02:08 PM
Gotcha...yeah I'd say the 1st lip then IMO
12-17-2008, 02:39 PM
It's a tough choice, plus with the tube fenders I'd be putting on there.
12-17-2008, 02:45 PM
Oh I didn't know you were doing tube fenders. Changed my mind, the 2nd line then
12-17-2008, 02:54 PM
Cut to the top line.
12-17-2008, 03:02 PM
Well if both of you say so then it must be done! You got a really clean cut Tyler, what tool did you use? Yourself ATL?
12-17-2008, 03:13 PM
4" cut-off wheel. Then I used some door-edge trim so I wouldn't cut myself
