Jeep looks awesome! Just read through this whole build thread. Really coming along nice!! When your axles go boom and you get 8 lug wheels, I want to dibs your current slabs.:)
 
I guess this isn't really part of my build but after being told by shop after shop that they won't balance beadlocks I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I really believe I have a serious sickness :cheesy:

Nice! :thumbup:

As a side note, every America's Tire that I have been to down here in the Bay area have had no issues balancing my beadlocks. That said, looks like all I have to do is come up to your house now!

Do you even know how to use this device? You do know that you are now the designated NorCal WAL balancing house right?!

Do they know they are beadlocks? When I took it to our local Americas Tire they said they could do it and then they asked if they were real beadlocks. When I said yes they said they couldn't do them. They even called to one of the managers from another store and he said no also.

Yea I used to work at a tire shop in high school for awhile. I've also raced motorcycles for a long time and purchased my own tire machine to changes tires so I've been doing this stuff a long time. And yes, anytime you need, our NorCal WAL balancing house is always open.

Hey! Whoa! Bakersfield is the new dividing line. By process of elimination, that makes me NorCal too.

Really, Bakersfield is NorCal? Print out a map of Ca and then fold it in half, I'd say that everything below the crease is SoCal and everything above it is NorCal. That's just my opinion though :D

Didn't say Bakersfield was, I said it was the dividing line and I'm plenty north of that.
 
Yup. I was told by the two stores that I deal with that they were happy to balance them, however, they would not touch mounting them.

Oh ok, yea I would have guessed that Fresno would be more of a dividing line than Bakersfield. Well what about the people who say there's a NorCal, CentralCal and SoCal?
