I'm not seeing anybody post anything about these. Has anybody who's gotten an optioned Badlands or any of the Sasquatch converted their Factory beadlock "capable" Wheels to true beadlocks? I haven't seen on the accessory list the beadlock Rings. I'm curious whether or not it actually comes with the hardware, how much they cost, any of it.

You mean has anyone unbolted the beauty rings and bolted on the beadlock rings? Are the beadlock rings even available from Ford yet?

chances are against it. why would someone dismount their wheels to only need to rebalance them? bead locks are best for when you do not have the facilities to remount a tire.

Conventional wisdom would tell you they would be the same as the Raptor beadlock rings, so that means they probably aren't. Finding the Raptor ones though at around $189/ea.

I am getting things lined up to make my own (CNC and metal) but alas no Bronco to move forward. I am in the you have a VIN, we'll update you in Oct group.

I am expecting to source my own hardware for them, as I am assuming Ford isn't going to toss a few extra handfuls of bolts to every Sasquatch/Badlands customer.

The Bronco beadlock-capable wheels use the same beadlock ring as the 2017 & 2018 Raptor. The '19 & '20 one is different.

I've never had beadlock wheels before and I don't understand why everything says for off-road only. It seems to me that they would be less prone to the bead being broken away from the rim. I need an education.

In some states it's illegal to run beadlock wheels on the road. Why, I don't know. Don't know if it's a safety issue, or the fact that cops can't use spikes to blow your tires :)

I believe they are concerned about possible loosening of the fasteners and having a sudden deflation.

It is not necessarily beadlock wheels that are illegal in many states, it is usually multi-piece construction wheel that are illegal. Beadlock wheels just happen to fall into that category.

Somebody, somewhere along the way must have decided that multi-piece must also mean multi-points of failure. Not sure I agree but also not sure I trust the general public to properly check and maintain torque spec on all those bolts either.
