Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've got 2 sets, one set runs 33 inch BFG ATs and the other set gets swapped between 37 inch Creepys and 37 inch Michelin XZL's.

The ones running 37's on my ute have been thrashed and the lockring holds up quite well to being run against rock, i've had these ones for about a year and a half.

Thanks Steel


Not a prob mate.

Hey i just noticed that you've got a high pinion rear,,, when i've got time i'll go over to your thread on Patrol4x4 and ask you a few questions.

No drama. Do a search in this Nissan section on high pinion rear, there are step by step instructions with pics ...

How often do the beadlock bolts need replacing?


You should really replace them each time you change tyres or take the lock ring off.


I run 33' BFG AT's on Allied beadlocks on my daily driver and theres no problems,,,, deflating below 10 psi on a regular basis may be detremental to a radial ...

I made this one out of Bisalloy.

It still uses the original mounting holes so i made some sliders for the bolts with high tensile bolts.

Still gained about 25mm clearance.

I made this when i lifted my driveline 50mm

I've got the same problem in my 03 TI and i'm only 6ft 1'.

I reckon it's the electric seats.

I've also got a 00 gu DX ute and i've got heaps of leg room in it.

Maybe it's worth trying a drivers seat from a ute?


Keep us posted as to what you come up with as i'll eventually wanna do something ...

Here ya go

Buy a spare what?

Theres no way i would have got out if i had fibre rope,, doesn't really matter, coz fibre rope wasn't available back then.


And, I don't run up hills.

I guess im just lost by the fact that the winch line is only X long, the winch is winding it onto the drum....the line is getting shorter...but the distance from the first snatch block is getting further, the distance from the 1st - 2nd snatch block stays the same....the distance from the 2nd-3rd ...

Nothing magic about that,, good luck finding enough anchor points to rig that up when you actually need it.

looked into the hutchinsons a little more and it seems they are made for toyotas specifically and the centre bore is too small for gq diffs .
cant cbf getting them machined out .



Like i said, give Proformance a call, they're bringing these wheels into Aus and they're also involved with the ...

i am thinking about getting some hutchinsons and moving my current beadlocks on too a new home .

For the Hutchinson wheels have a talk to Proformance over here in WA.

I'm going for the Allied.

Thanks for your input fellas

Yeah they're the wheels that i've been asking if anyone has used them in Australia yet.

Yeah i've seen the KMC Enduros, i can get them over here through RaceGear WA.

Did you put em on a Patrol?
The back spacing was no good for me though, 4.75" on a 8.5" rim.

Are they made by Raceline wheels?

I'm not sure if thats a very economical option (unless you already have the wheels , and are set up to TIG)?

Those Allied wheels can be had for $390 each

GUtripper wrote:Procomp also do an alloy beadlock to suit Patrol, i believe they are strong

Have you got any info on them mate?

I've had a good look but can't find anything.

All of Pro Comps wheels seem to have "simulated beadlocks" or "beadlock styling"

Is anyone using the Rock Monster beadlocks?

http://www.spyderlockwheel.com/home.html pretty cool wheel mate just bought a set they had a deal recently buy 4 get 1 free.


Yeah i researched them a bit.

Is someone selling them in Aus yet or did you bring em in?

Are they very heavy?

What did you put them on, a Patrol?

Can you get em with a ...

Hey folks, it's been a while.

I'm after peoples opinions on alloy beadlock wheels.

I'm strongly considering getting some Rock Monster double beadlocks but they're very pricey and back spacing isn't ideal.

Obviously the Walker Evans are a good option and i've also been looking at these new Allied ...

I tried for 2 months to get some SRC shocks.

Superior engineerings customer service was piss poor.

They've got some good products, but their name is turning to shit in the West

It is dissapointing you could not get the products when you wanted them.
Unfortunately we had way more interest in the ...

Looks alright to me.

The bumpstop striker plate is alot higher than the lower shock mount and that should accomodate it.

From looking just at the pics I would have thought that the biggest risk point for bending would be just behind the rear axle mount. There is extra bracing in the cup area and I wouldn't think there would be much force in that area compared to the longer part of the arm.


There are large forces ...

Are you saying the arm twists within itself?

Yeah sort of, it will flex torsionally along it's length (like a torsion bar), but just between the 2 axle end bushs, or the "cup" area as some call it.

I'm not sure that you'd want to resist bending.

Standard radius arms allow some torsional flex through that part of the arm, ie, between the 2 axle end bushs.
The material used in those arms will resist that flex which may cause issues.

Time to make things betterer?

I've got access to some GU front assemblies

Seriously mate, i was standing directly in front of ya when it bent, and although you hit a 6 ft drop off at 70 kmh, it suprised me how much it bent lol, must have been all the prior punishment i reckon

I've been through all this recently, with Chris at Loktup, and no, you can't adapt to pins and the heims mount with a 12mm bolt.

I tryed to buy the new SRC shocks, coz they look ideal, but superiors customer service was pathetic, so i've settled with EFS exteme's for the time being and i'm pretty ...

Terrain Tamer winch is worth considering.
