beadlocks

partsch · Aug 21, 2008

Has anyone run the 32 bolt beadlocks from Eaton?

It is either that or a DIY kit from offroad overstock...

Just looking for options.

What are you running and why?

Hey Partsch, I have known a few people that have run them with good results. DIY kits work too.

Yes they do, and seem to be the best prices shipped. It's where I'll be getting mine.

However, if you're in the PNW, doesn't Longfield sell DIY kits? Support local vendors :awesomework:

yep, Bobby sells them, and i believe he gives a good price for locals. They are a good design and VERY light weight. I wish i had gotten his instead of the ones i have, but I didn't know he made them till it was too late.

Longfields are great as long as you're running 15's. I've been looking at GLO's for a set of 17" wheels and looks to be a good deal

$299 a wheel with free shipping on the 17" TG Creeper locks. I have been happy with mine and are a lot easier to work with than the DIY'ers I used to have.

I've seen them advertised in some of the 4wd magazine ads.

Are they the same as Allied beadlocks?

So does Eaton = Allied = High Impact?

Not to knock bobby's locks at all heck I used to have a set of stylized locks but they got stolen... But where do you come up with lightweight? They are 1/4" steel plate.. :haha:

Eaton beadlocks are good wheels, I've mounted a couple sets of them and never seen an issue with them at all.
