    Getting tired of waiting for the wheels I won at last year's T2S. Need to mount the 40s onto something to get ready for the wheeling season. Thinking of biting the bullet and get some beadlocks. These RRWs are quite affordable. Question now is aluminum or black finished ring? Leaning towards aluminum.

    @Cruzer aluminum won’t stand out as much with all the rock rash.

    My street tires will still be rolling on the Methods with all that rock rash. Now that you brought it up I'm not sure if I'm actually a fan of that look. Gonna try and keep this set clean :rolleyes:

    I remember when Cruz said he wanted to get a 2nd Gen RCSB to turn into his off-road truck and make his current rig a daily driver :D

    Hell yeah! :woot:

    Did you decide how to layout the sticks? Are you going with your magical trickery of buttons, actuators and shenanigans?

    After all that debating about the sticks......I think I'm going with manual but hidden sticks because I've just been having a shitty time, as of late, with the transmission and TC electronics. Transmission still cannot change gears when in 4Lo so my Moab trip in March will be quite interesting. Doubt I'll have the Atlas installed by then.
