Beadlocks are designed for offroad use. When die-hard offroaders want more traction, over loose dirt or sand, they air down the tires. Spreads the tread out more, and the tires "grab" more of the surface. Problem is, the more you air down the tires, the more the tires don't wanna stay seated...
Didn't you know, wreckerman? There's a secret program by Iran to drop these from crop-dusters and take out an entire mall with a rusty trailer bed. Gotta make sure these hunks of tetanus-shot causing iron doesn't come back to inflict damage to our own troops!
I will be going back to Coleman's Surplus on Friday December 7th (tentatively) in order to scrounge more stuff. Anyone need anything in particular?
So far, I have to pick up/look for the following items:

CME Armature does it for $220 shipped back to you, like brand new. However, my buddy's brother-in-law will do it for cost. I think that's a "family" discount, he wouldn't extend the offer to others.

He's talking about authentic - real firing semi-auto .30 BMGs and .50 BMGs.

RE: Great find
You're a good man, Dennis, to save that iron before it gets cut up. Wish we all had spare space like you do, in order to do more of that!
If you have a parts list, with prices, post them here. I'm sure a lot of folks need this and that, and can help get the parts a good home.
I know this isn't really MV related, but perhaps someone can save these before the torchman gets them. One is a CJ-5, can give parts toward a M38A1. The other two are flat fender Jeep pickups. $350 for all. Not mine, just want to save them...
