Hahaha. Totally is! Really the only one on the North Shore. Don't know where that was taken, my kid must have taken it out for a spin.
How long did it take to ship it to you? I'm two weeks away from my production week. Getting pretty excited!

Produced 10/18/21 - One week for extended QC items and Released 10/25/21 - Shipped on Railcar 10/27/21 - Arrived at railyard in Benecia, CA 11/14 - Loaded on transport truck to Reno, NV 11/16 - Arrived at Corwin Ford in Reno 11/17 - Picked up at Dealer 11/18.

So exactly one month from assembly line to my driveway. Corwin had it prepped and detailed in less than a day which was nice. Keep in mind others have had to wait a little longer to get it loaded on the railcar and longer to get a transport truck available to ship to the dealer. Mine was very fast, hopefully yours will be as well.

Thanks, that does seem pretty fast. I'm picking mine up in Elk Grove. I'll be happy if I get it by April 1st.

No bo
Is that yours? How are the beadlock rings? Any issues with the bolts backing out?
No bolts backing out yet. But airing up again from the trail at least one of the rings has a leak and need to be reset. Most air I’ve lost overnight is about 10-15 lbs.

Can the bead lock rings be used just as decorative on the wheels just like the oem rings?
No. The way they’re forged you have to break the bead to be able to use them.

That’s a bummer. I really love the way they look, but I wouldn’t ever do serious enough wheeling to actually need them.

The REAL "Ford Performance Beadlock Rings" can actually be used as Beauty Rings while leaving the tire in the normal mounting position with the bead seated inside the rim.

There will be an unsightly gap between the FPBR and the rim where the tire bead would be in a Beadlocked Mounting application.

In a true Beadlock Mounting, the bead is seated outside the wheel / rim and the FPBR captures it in place.
