Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Only is looing kind cheap is air fill port made of plastic and rubber, when OEM Nissan is metal. But since they tuck away it should be fine in trail.
That was my last upgrade after many years are using OEM wheels with not truth 34's. I did lots camping upgrades to dial in for my preference and comfort, but always wanted 35's as little wider and helps on trail to stay on wheels.

Only look into beadlocks if you are willing to put in the maintenance time. I have been looking at getting them for a few years but haven't really needed them.
I run my TJ ( a lighter vehicle than yours I know lol) at 6 psi on the trail. If your going slow and crawling, most of the time it's not needed, if you are hitting the rev limiter than ya sure. And if you are running through the desert at high speeds they would likely help keep the beads in place.
But need need to keep an eye on the bokts on the lock rings because they love to come loose.

I wanted this as I do a alone (w family) exploration so more traction at low pressure is important to me, it's a heavy truck so to be stuck is big deal.

They're what I'd have if they hadn't been indefinitely back-ordered when I needed them.

I run a true dual beadlock wheel from Hutchinson.
They are a bit heavy, but they lock both the inner and the outer bead, and the DOT approved.

Even though I said I don't think I need a beadlock earlier in this thread, if those had been available in a 8x170 pattern I'd probably have gone that route (since they're DOT legal).
