What was the beadlock issue? I have a few that are starting to show surface rust. I called to see if they have replacements or offer them in stainless and they said no. I googled and found some old threads on different forums saying they offered replacements. So I am a bit confused. Not a big deal, but would like to replace them if possible.

I had issues with my "real" Method 105 beadlocks, at one point they offered two hub bore/center cap designs. I ordered five, and two were lost in shipment when they came in they were different and I had already mounted 2 of them since I had them and when the new wheels showed up different. They replaced them! Only thing that sucked was unmounting and remounting the tires.

 

From what I know even on the faux beadlocks the ring bolts are removable...take them off and find replacements at a hardware store?

They are replaceable, but I don't want to cut down 100 of them ;)

hi all - want to upgrade tires/wheels. State of Maine has a strict tire past fender law.. dont want to add flares. she sits stock now with 18's. wanna stick with 18 and add more rubber. she sees a lot of bad roads, dirt, mud, snow and Prius eating potholes. Dont want a BRODOZER- just want to fit as much tire as i can - so i guess my question is this - how much can i stuff underneath and how, while not having to flare - level/lift , offset.. know what I mean? thank you in advance..

Wish I went 10". Bought same wheels, but 9" 0 offset. They haven't came yet so I'm really debating returning them for the 10" wide.

I have 9.5 wide and 0 offset running 12.5 wide rubber. They stick out about 1.5" in the rear and just over an inch in the front

285/65r18 and 275/70r18 will work without a level but the 275 may rub the carpet. Either will look overstuffed on a stock truck. Levels are cheap and easy to install. Stock 4x4s look like 2WD without a level.

20x10 Hostile Styker wheels with 275/60/20 falken wildpeak at3 tires and RC leveling kit.

 

Do the spokes on your wheels go in the same direction on both sides?

This truck looks perfect. All these Method Race setups are giving me second thoughts. I love Methods but I have a hard time justifying their price vs Pro Comps in a similar size. The Method 17x8.5 / 0 offset Mesh wheels weigh 27lbs and run about $800/set. The Pro Comp 17x9 / -6 offset 5045 series weigh 24lbs each and cost less than $500/set. Can anyone convince me that the Methods are worth that much extra money? Are they really of a noticeably better build quality than Pro Comp wheels?

 

4WP has a sale going on methods right now. 15% off and free shipping. I could have saved some money!!

Appreciate it. Just ordered their TORQx orbital. Try and remove some of the hairline scratches from the car wash.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
