Dirty Life DT-1, changed the gold bolts to stainless. Also bought extra rings to paint GCM but probably do that in the spring.

What grade bolts were the ones you took out ?
I would imagine they were grade 8. Stainless steel bolts are only grade 5. There is a 25,000 psi difference between grade 5 and grade 8 bolts which is a lot.

I can’t imagine those are true bead locks, so it shouldn’t really be a concern.

These are the Dual Tech wheels so you can use a simulated bead lock or a real bead lock. The gold bolts are grade 8, I am using the simulated bead lock so it doesn’t matter.

DV8 886 in Bronze. I originally wanted black but the were backordered. I thought the bronze was going to be too overpowering but the pretty subdued. Very nice wheel and looks great IMHO. I also went with 35x12.50R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Wasn't sure about them but I REALLY like them so far. They track great and are VERY quiet. Really surprised me. I'm still waiting to see how they'll handle in the snow. BTW, the wheels and tires balanced out extremely well. I had one that only needed a half ounce weight. The most was 2 oz.

Those wheels are sweet! Looks great.

Let us know how the Ridge Grapplers do in the snow and ice; I’m trying to decide between those, the KO2s or Cooper Discovery SST Pros in 35” for my wife’s JKR. I’m thinking KO2s will be best in the snow, but I love a more aggressive tread and they run small.

What tire size? Lift? More pics?
I like these wheels a lot. They are Mopar wheels with the Jeep on the rims. I'm running Nitto 35x12.50/17 with the Teraflex leveling kit but only using the 1 inch spacer in the front. I also added Falcon shocks at the same time.

18" Black Rhino Armory in Gunblack. I think it matches perfectly with the Stingay finish. Car is still at the shop, cant wait till it's ready.

Sweet. Is that post or pre installing the box in the back?
