$49.95 DIY Double Beadlocks for those who wheel

[Cranky Steve]

Yep, $49.95!! And it's a killer set up! But you have to have an extra set of rims and some skills with power tools.

This setup has been fully tested for 2 years on all types of terrain from snow to rocks.

I picked up a set of Spun aluminum rims cheep to use with Inchworm's Beadlock Screws

The crew at Inchworm helped me mount up my tires, but before we did that, I did some mods to the rims:

1) Tapped the original Valve Stem hole with a ¼” NPT tap, and plugged it.

2) Drilled and tapped 2 new holes close the center to relocate the valve stem and add a thumb screw drain cock.

3) Used Dow Polyurethane Windshield adhesive on the bead seat area in prep for the beadlock screws

Total cost so far:
4 Rims - $100
2 tubes Dow Polyurethane Windshield adhesive - $15
4 Husky Compressor drain cocks (Home Depot) - $13
1 Set Inchworm Beadlock screws - $49
------------------------------------------------
$177 so far.
