Well, worked a swing shift so I can hang out with my pops this weekend. I am up at his house now, and tomorrow, we are installing a 3" suspension lift on his truck, as well as a cold air intake. We were going to do the exhaust, but it didn't get delivered in time. That will be the next project, Another plus... I HAVE MY BEADLOCKS!!! I had to pick em up tonight... just couldn't wait, lol. They need some attention, as they are used. Some rock rash. I may get the paint off em, and go get em powder coated, but we'll see. I may end up doing the krylon paint job I will take pics tomorrow of dad's truck before and after the lift. Also, I will snap some pics of the wheels. I am also going to pull off a front, and rear tire, and make sure that the rims will fit. I was a little concerned because they are a little wider, they are an 8.5" instead of 8", and they have 4" of backspacing instead of 3.75"

Looking forward to the pics! Hanging with pops and working on a rig. Thank goodness for the simple things in life. BEADLOCKS ... Good ;D Personally I would clean them up and have them powder coated. It looks great and lasts a little longer.

Alright!
Got the suspension lift installed on Dad's Frontier, and his cold air intake. We didn't get the exhaust delivered in time, so that is another project. Picked up my beadlocks, and they look like they will work alright. Turned out to be a decent lift... almost 3" up front, and close to 2" in the back. He didn't want anything wild... just wanted a little more clearance, and the ability to run a 32" tire if he wanted.
I took a bunch of pics, but haven't uploaded them... my brother, dad, and I are going out to dinner somewhere, then I will work on em later tonight.

The bead locks and your dads truck look really nice. He will have to come down to Tucson and do some runs with us.

That is a good question. What meats do you want for the beadlock rims?
