A gold ring is gonna look real nice on blue, i have been playing with the idea of powder-coating the ring on my methods gold

I had plasty dipped the rings then painted a gold over the plasty and it looked pretty good so I figured I might as well powder coat them and make it a permanent deal. As for the idea of coating the methods rings gold, being that you have a black truck it will match perfectly!!

I like the stock Beadlocks with no beauty rings. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. Have you put your beauty rings back on since having them off for a while? Have any issues with dirt and gunk blocking the threads for the screws?


You might try some socket head cap screws or button head cap screws. You need M10-1.5x20, preferably in stainless steel. That way you can prevent the thread us from getting corroded or packed full of dirt, without sacrificing the look you like. A drop or two of Loctite 242 thread locker will keep them put, but allow removal later.



All the best,
Dave

For the first time, I just tagged somebody else's Raptor with the FRF invite card.

It's sitting in the parking lot where I work, and I have no idea who it belongs to....talk about frustrating. It's got a dust void where a number for a run would go, so I'm hoping they're already on here... and local.
