“GREAT SUCCESS WITH COYOTE BEADLOCKS!”

I drive my 1984 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler on and off-road. When I was building it, I was looking for a legal and easy beadlock solution in support of my Scrambler 4 link build with 39” Pitbull Tires on 17” simulated outer beadlocks rims. In October 2009, I landed on Staun internal beadlocks and ordered four. Several years later, I was looking for replacement tubes, but learned that Staun was out of business; however, Coyote Enterprises had taken over.

The original installation was easy and not nearly as hard and time consuming as the common 24/32 bolt and washer ring setups. Also, the traditional metal bead locks I used before were heavier. I think the Staun’s only added 5#/wheel versus 21#/wheel for the conventional bead locks. And they balanced easily! They rolled down the road for years with no problems, but in 2017, it was time for new tires.

I upgraded to 40” Maxxis Trepadors competition tire (Sticky) and discovered two of my old Staun tubes had seen better days. I’d put my Staun-equipped Pitbulls through a real thrashing! To my surprise, I discovered Staun had closed its doors in 2012, but I was fortunate to learn Harry (previous Staun importer) had started Coyote Enterprises LLC. He sent me two new heavier duty tubes and his new, superior air channels, plus a free T-Shirt! I was also happy to learn that the Coyotes are made in the USA!

Over the next year or so I was having trouble with one slow leaking tire. I was forced to deal with it after losing a bead on a local drive. After removing the tire we were able to remove the inner tube and discovered the tube was nicked (caused during the last tire swap, install). Once again I called up my friends Harry and Jenna. I had a great experience talking with them about my issue and they were able to send me a new tube and shipped it just in time for my next offroad run.

I have had great success with this internal bead lock, Maxxis setup and continue to rip through the trails with confidence. BTW, this is my Scrambler with a complete custom frame, 1 ton axles, 4 link suspension (rear), 3 link suspension (front), full cage, 3/16” body panels, and 40×17 tires weighs 5040lbs.
