Inflatable Bead Locks

[OREGON85]

My dad was telling me about a friend of his that is running inflatable bead locks. They fit right in the rim like a tube but don't fill the whole tire, just enough to hold the bead to the rim. Has anyone heard of these? Do they work?

Its like an inflatable bag inside the tire that forces against the sides of the tires/rims and works like a beadlock

I think that is what Greg in using on his TJ build... It sounds sweet I'd love to hear how they compare to the bolt style beadlocks...

JC (midnight 4x4) has a set in his Willy's pick up, They are about 15 years old, So I dont know who made them, But its a great idea, The tire shops hated the install IIRC

Yep, I mounted each of my tires with Staun beadlocks inside. If you'd like more info, read this post.-

What's the cost on something like that?

To me they aren't so bad, comparitevly... Price is based on size, and all sizes have a different price. But for a 16" wheel that is 9.5-12" wide I sell for $160.

I got mine from Craig Stumph, best prices I found. PM him & tell him I sent ya.

Let me do some thinking, I'm still trying to figure out what size tires and rims I want to run on my new axles. But this may be an option to my bead lock problem.

I think Craig even runs them?

four wheeler did a test with them awhile back and that they were a good product they put them through all sorts of test and didn't have a problem.

I run them as well.
Currently I have a 3" crack on one bead and it still holds air.
Super cool way to lock your tires to any wheels.

He was running them last time I was out with him. Which was spring time.

We have them in one of our rigs and they are awsome besides being internal and dual beadlocks they are run flats also more than once we have run with 0 psi with no problems. We got our s from Craig also.
