Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a set of creepy crawlers on alloy trail ready beadlocked rims. I want something a bit more road friendly due to the amount of hwy driving I have to do now to get anywhere. So should I sell the lot as package or keep the rims and use them again on a radial tyre.
My 4x4 isn't a daily driver it only gets driven when I go for a 4x4.

i run my BFG Krawlas on Robby Gordon beadlocks with no dramas. They get driven semi regulary on the freeway getting to wheelin spots

Beadlocks are illegal on any road in Aust, so it wont matter if the tyres are bias ply or radial !

The krawlers are a tuff radial, I am only thinking of running the TTC Claws

I ran my regular claws on Roctoy locks from tassie to the cape with no probs.. am now running round with the same locks and Intercos m16 radials and they are all good.

I thought you werent allowed to modify rims, only making weld on beadlocks illegal?


That being said, I run my MTZ's as a daily with locks. Always good to know you can run extra low pressures safely if you get into trouble.

How often do the beadlock bolts need replacing?

I run 37"wranglers on 17" walker evans there a great tyre so far. Haven't balanced them yet dont think ill bother the dont wobble at all.

AFAIK the rock monsters are the only road legal beadlock for australian roads.

Get your tire fitter to use balancing sand if you balance them, did that to my creepys and now they are unreal on road even when you get a torn lug or mud stuck in your rim the sand shifts to accommodate the necessary balance for a 37" tire you want to packets oh and it dosent cost any extra coin well they didnt charge me any extra for it.

I tried balancing sand in my centipedes didn't have much luck with ill give it another go one day.

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 tyre though

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

Yeah i'm really just interested in hearing from someone who's run the high pinion for a while and done some decent road kms with it.
