2024 BEADLOCK COMPATABILTY

[Subaruski]

Can you take/swap these faux bead lock rings without removing the wheel/tire from the truck?

I'm interested in getting my 2024 37PP rings powder coated.

I bought Gen1 beadlock rings from a forum member here to see if they will work on my
24 37PP rims. Below is a pic of the result. They will function but aesthetically the cutouts are for the 9 hole Gen1 rims.

What I ended up doing is scrapping the idea and keeping the beadlocks for my Gen1 rims. For the 24 37PP rims I ended up powder coating the original beauty rings to match more of the Gen1 ring color and using that since these are on my 2013.

Yes you can. Throw a little anti seize on the threads and don’t gorilla torque the screws when you remount them. Here’s the pattern I use.

@Chewie Whe you coated these did you have to strip them? I am curious what they would look like stripped. I know my 2018 trim rings i stripped had a etched like texture to them. Wonder if these are the same.

@Antho I don’t know, as I dropped the beauty rings at the powder coat shop I go to and got them back done, but I’m sure they blasted them to get them coated.

Stripped a ring down and may just go this route for now.
