I know as well as much as anyone else that sometimes the starbs drivethrough has brutal curbs, and as a result the beadlock bolts start resembling circles more than a hex pattern. The patches have come a long way and while many have success utilizing them by slapping a patch on the outside of a tire, one advantage of conventional beadlocks is being able to easily (?) pop the tire off to gain access to the inside if needed. Assuming you can get the bolts of, that is. So while of course we’re probably going to rub a couple while pulling up to the delivery window, it’s much less aggravating to shave a couple down while in the midst of trying for your frappacino goodness compared to several.

And of course, you’ll be able to torque them again. Which we all do while using them for offroad use only.

I just weld a junk bolt onto the fucked up bolt, remove, and replace. I'm lazy.
If you don’t show this to @87-Z28 then it’s your fault if he can’t get his bolts off or start his lawnmower

mostly due to coffee, but sure. Though I think if we’re going to be more accurate we could say it’s due to counterfeit loctite.

Do you feel as if I have been misleading on any of my posts about portals?

Hahahaha They must have some crazy high curbs. Blame it on the rocks that you were out crawling on. 🤣🤣
Let’s be civil and leave the rocks out of this. They don’t deserve to be dragged into any starbucks throwdowns.

Thank you sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Any suggestions on a polish? Suckers are kinda pricey. Want to keep them looking nice.
