I confirmed that my July 30th order was built today! With the forged wheels! Now, the wait for all the transit hoopla......But at least she's alive!!

Awesome stuff going on here!

I got my build dat of 04/17 and my vin last week. I kept the beadlocks. It was a deal killer for me. Order date of 12/05

Do you beadlock fans just like the way it looks better than the 'regular' wheels? I know they are forged and lower unsprung weight is a good thing, but other than that, why the faithful following for beadlocks? They aren't even beadlocks from factory, you have to get the beadlock ring to convert them?

It is awesome stuff, yes :biggrin:! Nice that you got a build date, and it's not too far off either! How happy many of us will be shortly :) .

Yep, for me, it's solely for aesthetics. I think the forged wheels look much better than base--yes, I know, so vain :win:! But, might as well get it how you like it.

Forged wheel is what heavy trucks use. So if you got a chance for twice the strength and no negatives why not go for it. Forged wheels might balance better. Not sure if that is an internet rumour or not

Congrats on your new baby! Now for the long trip from Dearborn to Spokane. I think you've had the longest wait of all! Should be worth it in few more days! Congrats again!

Thanks Chukaraholic! Yes, it's still a ways off, but definitely passed a real milestone. Now, let's hope for no train break downs either!
