Larry from Trailready told me they always use antisieze when installing the ring bolts...

I would have thought that it would be necessary being that you're dealing with dissimilar metals, but on Eddies install write-up he mentioned NOT using anti-sieze and there was an ensuing discussion. His wheels must not have come with those instruction sheets specifically saying you need to.

Correct. We always use antisieze. There’s this concern that lubricant of any kind fucks with the torque but the same can be said for not using it, especially when there’s galling.

What lugnuts do you use on these axles Bubba? Other than the Gorilla brand, I don't see any other options out there in the 9/16-18 x 3" size.

If the threaded inserts are stainless steel then I’d think anti seize would be warranted. Not because of corrosion but because of galling, as Bubba notes.

Trailready's don't have inserts like the ATX/KMC wheels do. The bolts thread directly into the wheel.

Copy that. In that case, corrosion could be a concern.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why they do require it. Even though these will never see any salt, just the humidity and dampness we have here would probably cause corrosion.

No salt in PA?
I used to live in New England. Lots of salt there. [emoji17]

Well, no more driving Gruff in the salt I should say. We have plenty of that damn salt & brine. Now that I have the JL I get my Jeep fix everyday & can be choosy on how I I drive Gruff
Hey stranger - thanks! Yep, been bending flanges ever since that trip to Rausch where I wagon wheeled that first one. :grayno:

Wheels are done being powder coated. Picked them up today. Not ashamed to admit I had the shop pop the tires onto the wheels. The combo isn't as heavy as I thought it would be. Doesn't feel much more than the 37 combo I have on the Jeep now. They are a helluva lot bigger though :crazyeyes:
I was hesitant to put a clear powdercoat on but they came out great. I brought one in to trial fit a ring just because.
I put a ring on with the optional spacers and tightened the bolts hand tight. I may not need these but will wait to see once I start torquing
the bolts down. Honestly not missing the Chamber Pros as much as I thought I would. Curiously the picture of the irritated wife wouldn't load :idontknow:
