Off Road Jeep Maintainence and Prep - Casualties Of War
|
Of all the rollovers we've been witness to, a fair number were caused by tires at low pressure becoming unseated from regular non-beadlock wheels. When a tire loses its bead on a sidehill or difficult climb, the whole Jeep can be violently thrown to the downhill side, sometimes resulting in a violent tumble. And believe it or not, we've even seen one or two caused by beadlock ring bolts that weren't tightened to spec. If you run at very low pressures, it's a good idea to invest in some beadlock wheels for safety. And if you're running beadlocks, make sure your ring bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specs to prevent the tire bead from squirming out. View Related Article
