| beadlock/bead issue?
not major, but has anyone dealt with this? and found a decent non-permanent solution? it looks as though the wheel has spun inside the tire, its nothing to major as this is the first time i've even seen it happen. I was almost afraid to keep crawlin, as the sidewall was bound up tight on the rim, I was feelin for those poor soft sidewalls |

I've seen some tires do that if the bead lock bolts aren't tight enough on one side. They will spin on one side, not the other. It's hard with the small hardware and plastic on the stock wheels but you might try to snug them down a bit more, may help.
