I just bought a Bronco Sasquatch and didn't understand what is "beadlock-capable". This video made it perfectly clear. Thank you so much.

I watched this video with no sound and understood everything he said, great job explaining everything with physical gestures as well as verbally explaining 😂

I love that ford offers these wheels on their serious off road vehicles.

Except the bronco raptor on a serious trail that it's capable of doing they break at the knuckle for the steering. Ford knows its an issue on the bronco and they've chosen not to fix it. Which makes them not a serious off road vehicle without a ton of aftermarket parts thrown at them and for the price it shouldn't be needed.

This was a great video that answered all my questions. I never quite understood the definition of a "beadlock-capable" wheel, but now I do.

Always wondered why no bead lock on the inside, good explanation.

Thank you for explaining how to do the beadlock on the Braptor rims. Now this rookie Braptor owner can do it when the time comes!!

Great video! I am a little disappointed that you didn't give us a nice side shot of the finished product on the Braptor. I have a 37 Package Raptor with the same wheel package. and am considering the rings. Can't seem to find any good shots of the finished install.

Great vid i knew what beadlocks were but couldn't understand how something could be beadlock capable. Know , being how beadlock wheels are not legal for street use in most states i think its kind of a stupid option that ford put on. Seems like alot of work for a afternoon of fourwheeling. Thanks great vid

This is pretty awesome considering most aftermarket beadlock wheels are pretty damn heavy. These being stock wheels are pretty light weight all things considered

@4x4ranch Жыл бұрын

Agreed, especially if you opt for the forged bead lock capable wheels (which the ones on the our Raptor are).

If you remove the beauty ring to be painted or powder coated, then reinstall it, does the wheel need to be balanced again or would it be fine? Same question if you add the beadlock ring do you balance the wheel again?

I like the Ford beadlocks but……$1,000 for 5 metal rings and a bag of bolts?!?!?!?!? OUCH! That’s a pretty big “Bronco Tax”. Those things should cost like $100 each.

@popo_patty Жыл бұрын

Did the beadlock pull your whole tire out away from the vehicle a bit? I’ve heard that it does

@4x4ranch Жыл бұрын

It definitely does, buy moving the outer bead out approximately an inch, it moves the tread of the tires about 1/2” farther out.

I wish I saw this video a few days earlier I made a fool out of myself when I took my bronco to tire shop for a flat tire I told the guy I had bead lock wheels if he had experience with that type of wheel then it tuned out they are just a beauty ring on them smh

Are the Ford beadlocks DOT compliant?

@4x4ranch Жыл бұрын

No, they still rely on bolts to hold the bead on.

What is the advantage of having bead locks?

@4x4ranch Жыл бұрын

Bead locks allow you to drastically reduce the air pressure in your tires without the bead coming off and letting the remaining air out of your tires. Low tire pressure increases the contact area your tire with the ground which really helps with traction in off road situations.
