Don't think it needs to be pretty to work for that truck tbh.
Should work out perfect for what you need and that's more important anyway.

Well it worked great. No more tire rub. One of the wheels did get scarred up on a rock on the last trail but it made it home. 70mph the whole way and got 14mpg. Had a great time. Not a lot of pictures. Other truck I was wheeling with was on a 7” lift with a 3” body lift and 40’s. I’ve never felt small until today. Lockers would have made the last obstacle a cake walk. I had to throttle it hard and bounce it up. Couple of the guys didn’t know how I didn’t break anything.

Prob didn't have enough power or torque multiplication to break anything 😂 you must drive a Toyota (is what those guys are thinking)
that wheel is mint! Didn't knock the weight or the valve stem off! ****** is brand new to crawler bois 🤘🏻 You can get weld in rash rings if you want to add some bead support. You can also do the DIY beadlocks. Get rash rings, ~1" wider width and can play at 5-6psi if you so desire 😉

Except I don’t want to make this a full time crawler haha.
It was funny, the guy I was wheeling with, his truck is sitting on dually axles front and rear which makes it 7-8” wider than mine but he did it so the front hub would be protected as it is sunk flush to the wheel. Told him I hadn’t had any worry about it yet. And then I go and do that on my wheel haha. Little sand paper and some paint and it’ll look brand new again.
