Another great internet myth. I believe there is a guy on Pirate4x4 for years now that has offered cash to anybody who can provide documentation stating that beadlocks, specifically, are not street legal......to this day he hasn't had to pay out any money.

I do agree with the above post talking about DOT approval (we do DOT certification tests were I work at), but again a DIY beadlock kit only means that technically the wheel is no longer DOT certified (example: if a DIY beadlock failed and caused an accident, then you tried to sue the original wheel company, it would be very easy for them to not be held liable because the wheel had substantial structural modifications performed to it after the original DOT certification).
