I had been in San Antonio for a couple weeks and David was my ride to-from airport for my flights. On the ride home he tells me he has a project for me... Hmmmm, ok, this could go one of a few ways...

In the back of my mind I've seen these before and "Hutchinson" was synonymous with them... Googling: Here they are in a CK5 post. & Here is a set for sale on Pirate. Augh, heck, there are a lot of pictures of them in Google Image results searching: "hutchinson aluminum beadlock 16"" <--note...
I get all of my OHCs from wrecking yards...

SUVs (no clue if Tahoe or Suburban, I saved the P/N & "SUV", not the full application, my bad...): 12344177 (available online from variety of places)
