Beadlocks are basically illegal because of the risk they pose on-road. The bolts on beadlocks have to be checked regularly because they can loosen and could allow a tyre to suddenly deflate and, at high speed, this is not a good thing. The problem is complacency. How many people would you find regularly checking all the bolts on five beadlock rims? I saw a US video on one brand of beadlock rims that were supposedly of a new design, where the manufacturer boasted about how they could not fail, and during a test by an independent reviewer, they failed first time out. Avoid Mansfield if you are running this setup.
I bought a set of steel chinaloks off market place. After 4 months of running them at pressures under 15 to 10. Turns out they were set up like a standard rim, the tyre was behind the lock rim on the rim, after finding this I set them up my self and now have confidence knowing they are done correctly 😂😂 Always check shit off market place I guess
ive got those rims on my truck lmao, there can be an issue from mud stuck in the rims but its not that bad, im in a desert so its less of an issue. i want better newer rims ive had them for years but it does the look n gets me the bigger tires i need so its whatever for now. good vid tho
It would be possible to get a beadlock engineered, but the way the ADR's work, it would only be for a specific rim with a specific tyre and it has to be done by a manufacturer. Basically the way the ADR's work is that if something is not specifically allowed, it is automatically illegal...UNLESS it has already been tested by an accredited testing facility overseas. like CE rated equipment you can buy...wonder if there is any CE rated (IE tested to euro standards which are deemed to comply with ADR's) beadlocks...bet no one has actually looked, but I bet it also wouldn't be to jam a set of 37's under the guards of your cruiser or patrol Edit: I can also see a day very soon where the cops start pulling over 4x4's and defecting cars with beadlocks
Find me one manufacturer with adr compliance beadlocks, none out there. The online one are DOT compliance which are american. And they've been pulling people over for a very long time for beadlocks just depends on your cops knowledge
Already happening. Beadlocks for the road in Victoria are illegal and void vehicle insurance. Likewise, insurance is void with 35's and 37's. Don't have a collision with anything or anyone else!
It’s a shame beadlock are illegal as it should in the lines of it will be legal if you get fitted correctly and buy a licensed Company that can prove there safety but I guess it fall in the hard basket and begins to be a finger pointing game if it goes Wrong and probably the same for tyres increases sadly my rig got a defect for beadlocks and tyre size and the rest of the car is engineered but it would be Awesome if there was a way to make it save to do to get it past engineering it be worth it
For the amount of times you NEED beadlocks to get somewhere is a poofteenth. Why go through the expense for that? Even if engineering was OK'd and it will never be), insurance will still not cover you.
@@ausguy4385 Without looking at every company's policy, I can't say for sure that there is zero cover, third party or otherwise. Perhaps you are an assessor to be able to categorically say that 3rd party is fine, but I very much doubt it. "Oh, you're driving an illegal unroadworthy vehicle and you most illegal bit has blown out causing you to plough through a school pickup zone and wipe out 10 children. No worries, we'll happily pay out your claim" said no insurance company ever.
@@einfelder8262 3rd party is not car insurance is rego. That always covers 3rd party. The driver is different story. Is a lawyers dream otherwise it's open and shut in the wrong
As they say, better late then never I guess 😂
Just good timing 😂 unfortunate to see what happened to ya, seems like it happens a lot

Outstanding video....well done lads.
Should have done a "yeah" counter... Drinking game?

Im all for fake beadlocks lmao, the more fake ones there are the more you can get away with real ones
Love the last part 😂
Going to need to get some beadlocks now that sams got them
Nathan should open a tyre shop in the Port Macquarie area !
What work shop is this? This bloke sounds like a good guy to talk to with my 4wd. I have heap of questions
My local Goodyear tyre shop has been using torque wrench for decades.

was it Hutchinson’s dual internal beadlock ?
@@psy06 No, I don't think it was, but I can't for the life of me remember the brand name.
You know how many bolts would have to back off to have this happen???
Bit of a risk with insurance too isn’t it
Not insured with 35s anyway.
Yep, because they are not legal, you insurance is void and you're paying for nothing
Tighting wheels with a torque wrench is a legal requirement should be done at every tyre shop

But still illegal and void of insurance.
@@trickster8635 I bet you’re fun at party’s.
I think putting new wheels on would be the least of sams worrys if he got a canery 😂
Good info, onya boys.
Btw if anyones selling gq patrol st guard flares hit me up lol x
Every shop I have been to have torqued them up
ive got those rims on my truck lmao, there can be an issue from mud stuck in the rims but its not that bad, im in a desert so its less of an issue. i want better newer rims ive had them for years but it does the look n gets me the bigger tires i need so its whatever for now. good vid tho
another downside of fake bead locks is you cant get a tire deflator in that gap had to use a stick on a mates jet ski ranger haha
Yea. Yea. Yea.yea yea Yea.
Most tyre shops in nz that I go to use a torque setting
I see you have them for sale already, so what was it you didn’t like about them and what else should we look out for
Cheers
Do genuine steel beadlocks have the same "void" where dirt can get in too?

Often hit you tighten them up to make sure there's tight
Yeah
It’s only illegal if you get caught 😂😂😂
Hey dude check out griplock by method racing
50mm more than factory tyre was illegal I thought, unless engineered.
Over all is fine not each side
Yeah, yep, yeah, yep yeah yep. Yeah.
Dynamic actually do a beadlock
Yeah…yep…. Yeah, yeah yeah yep
1st.
2nd
Don't whinge if you get done for having beadlocks then.
Don't forget you have no insurance either. Make sure your bank account is fat enough to pay the other party(s).
Exactly right, particularly public liability and third party property. Crash into a power pole or traffic light post it'll cost tens of thousands.
3rd party is fine still, he would have to pay own costs, car and health etc
