Kage- how are you liking the double bead locks and gy tires? Have you by chance tried the tires in snow yet?
Sorry I missed this post earlier (I've been under the weather big time), and I need to get an update up about the wheels tires It appears. I'll try to do that this week.
This year has been utterly dissapointing for snow down in the St. Louis area. I did get to run them in light snow (less than 1") both ways (siped and unsiped). They really weren't any worse in the snow than the swampers I used to run on my cherokee so I'm not sure why there's so many complaints about how they work in the snow
The double bead lock part is nice, but I've only run into one situation where it was needed. In that situation, I'm fairly certain I would have rolled the truck if I didn't have the double bead locks as I was sitting in such a way that the weight of the truck was trying dang hard to rip the tire off the bead.
I can't really find fault with the wheels/beadlocks other than they're damn heavy, and 16.5".
The tires work well enough for cheap 37's. They're quite on the road with 'decent' road manners. They aren't the most awesome thing offroad, but siped and aired down to 8-10psi they work well enough. No issues with sidewall strength, but they did start to chunk a little bit after I siped them. Balancing has been a pain in the ass, but I think that has been mostly caused by my soft leaves out back which I need to fine tune a bit more (each tire/wheel/bead lock combo weighs in at 150 lbs).
The biggest complaints I have with the tires is how much they squat as they air down, and side bite (Being able to climb with the sidewall). I know they're not a bias ply, but I was dissapointed at how much ground clearance I lost when aired down (my heavy truck didn't help with things I'm sure). As for the side bite, the Nittos probably just spoiled me with those huge lugs hanging off the side, they made getting out of 'ruts' easy.
Would I run this setup again? All I can say is 'it depends'.
-If you're looking for a way to get a cheap 37" tire for 'mild' wheeling that will wear well on the street, then this setup makes sense.
-If you're looking to get cheap bead locks and don't mind the 16.5" rim size then the H1's make sense.
-If you're looking for a 'turn key', cheap double bead lock setup that'll make you billy badass on the trail, look elsewhere.
Looking back I wish I would have gone ahead and bought a new set of Nittos and called it good, as I don't really need the double bead lock feature for the wheeling I tend to do. In fact, when I wear these tires out (or I get the cash together for something different), I'll ditch these and get something else. So take that for what its wroth.
Hope that helps, and if someone would like to take these things off my hands for a reasonable price, let me know.
Edit: One quick note about TWF. They did make things right by me in the end, but it was a bit of a hassel. YMMV.

$500-$900 for a tranny is just retarded though since I can buy a whole truck for about $1k. If I can't find a good tranny down in TN, that will be the way I'll have to go even though I don't want to tear down another vehicle in my garage if I can help it.
I'll put some miles on it this week running around for work.
