Finally, a way to get the water out of our beadlock wheels

We just did a photo shoot of another of Kevin Hawkin's Jeeps.  On this one, he had invented an innovative, simple way to get the water out of beadlock wheels.


If you're a beadlock owner, you know the drill.  Wash your vehicle, then drive it around to get as much water out of the wheel as you can, then get a towel and sop up the rest of the water that's still pooling.  Kevin came up with this simple beadlock blade that flings the water out as you drive your vehicle. He siliconed the aluminum blade into each rim and we can report that they work great!

Try this yourself. We're sure you'll agree that this comes under the, "Why didn't I think of that?" category.
