Curious if anyone has heard anything about how long it will be until beadlocks will be available again?
I got the infamous dealer delay message about beadlocks. Funny thing was, they didn't ask if I wanted to drop them, they said I had to drop them because they were no longer available, they were going to change my order, and my job would get scheduled for a February build. I quickly vetoed that. I said they will be available again, its just a matter of time, you (dealer) go find out how long. In their defense, my dealer read me the email they received and that was pretty much how it was communicated to them by Zone (not sure who that it, some order management middle-man?).
I ordered 10/12 and still waiting to be scheduled. I would consider dropping the beadlocks, but I really hate the stock wheels. I can't buy forged beadlocks for $1200 anywhere. With mounting, alignment, balancing I figure I'm out 2500-3000 if go aftermarket. Haven't seen anything aftermarket I love yet either. I like that the Ford beadlocks can be mounted as either standard or beadlocks, as I don't want to maintain beadlocks year round. I would be curious if there are aftermarket that do the same? I seem to see either true beadlocks, street wheels, or the kinda fake beadlock look on street wheels. I hate the latter... Its like making scissors that don't cut anything, but look look really sharp from a distance.
