Bead lock
 
I have a TJ 2002 with 33" bfg muds and am running it with the stock
rims (15 x8)
I keep having the problem that I break the bead everytime I go
offroading. There is a lot of mud and rocks and I air down to about
12psi. Does anyone run bead locks on there daily driver? I know it
is not DOT approved, what about the fake bead locks? Some of them
look good, are they just for show or do they really hold the tire in
place.

I have the same issues. Too much traction for our dirt. That is why I
don't air down normally or if I do I don't drop below 20 psi.

Fake beadlocks are just that.. fake. they will not do anything more to
hold your tire on. Try a little more air in your tires to hold them on
tighter. Or step up to 2 sets of wheels, some that are DOT approved for
daily driving and some that are beadlocked and then you can drop them to
much lower pressure for getting serious.
