| after shopping craigslist, ebayt, rf.net, local leads, and west coast goose chase - I ORDERED ME ITP T7 BEADLOCKS actaully - after all that - my local dealer provided me with the fairest price. Got black T7 wheels with black rings. 12" 5+2 fronts and 12" 2+5 rear. hopefulyl should be albe to get rid of the spacers...(we'll see)   Should be here and on this weekend. I will try to post some pics as soon as i get em. all in all - cant wait to get em, put my big horns on them and ride. I will be putting my all trails on my current itp steelies.... shameless plug: will probably have a set of stock rims and fact tires (50% left), 2" spacers (mayeb 1" pair too), and a roof for sale soon. also ordered some milled roll cage bar ends to lower the frame and add some bolt on rear support that will allow the bed to still tilt.... AFTER ALL THAT - its time for the Orange Rattle Can Paint job and the 01 lettering on the side the transformation is continuing!! | |

| Beadlocks -- I'd love to have a set. I'm running my Mudlite XTR's at 10psi so I don't blow a bead. Tried 6psi but rolled a rear off the rim.
How low of pressure can you go with Beadlocks? I'd love more grip.... | |

| Approx 2 weeks ago I was up in WV near the stairsteps and it was approx 20F/snowing at night. Several of my buddies and myself started cutting up and doing donuts for about 20 minutes (was a blast!) then I proceeded back to camp hitting a couple of long deep mudholes on a side trail. I have no idea when it happened but back at camp I noticed my drivers rear tire was off the rim.
May have been the donuts or it may have been a rock /ledge in the mudhole -- I do not know but just do not want to hassle with a tire off again. Six-ply tires are a beast to set a bead on in the cold. I basically had to let the tire warm up in the camper overnight to set the bead. It's 10psi for now.
Let me know how the beadlocks do -- | |

| dotn know how low you can go yet - but I ran 9 psi all 4 corners in SC Low Country sandy roads - felt fine! As for ordering - just shop around - but be sure to add up shipping - and dont forget center caps and lugs.... long story short - my local shop gave me the best "out the door" price with centers and lugs because they were able to deal w/ shipping - where as all the other online places wanted me to pay for it. Long story short - $640 total - ITP T7 w/ polished ring (comes with it - colors are extra) plus center, lugs, valve stems and installed. GREAT DEAL, imo. THough - this fella is in Greenville SC and may be able to work a better deal on shipping than places out west. www.atvoutfitters.netIF - you know exactly what you want - save the shopping - and email this guy. matthewbell@atvoutfitters.net I shot him one email telling him exactly the wheels I wanted - he replied with the same price my shop gave me - but shipping was $50. Still not bad though, but I went with my shop - plus they threw in installation. | |

| I run 9PSI in the front and 10PSI in the rear of my Duro's on all sorts of terrain and have had no problems. The Duro's have great flex and bite at 10PSI. ( Wheelin even thought I was going flat at Windrock) I said no, those are those Duro Wrinkle wall mudders  | |
