What? I seriously don’t understand. Can you please explain? Does it cause
damage to the torque wrench? Does it “over-torque” the bolts? Does it
double the torque applied to the bolts?
WTF .. Double clicking torque wrench is a BIG no no!!
why?
Great video! I am looking forward to more videos in this series!
SICK VID LOVE INFO LIKE THIS I HOPE THERES MORE TO COME
@wayalife is this a new series? or are their more of these
excellent! what type of weights would they use? Thanks for the great vids
and info
This is really great, really looking foward to starting my jeep project
with my buddies
You can take your wheels to most any tire shop like Discount Tire and they
will balance them for you.
Toyo’s are the same on both sides
Very informative video.
Either side is fine, it’s all personal preference.
Very helpful. I’ve always wondered how bead lock wheels work exactly.
Great video! Helpful info. Does Mel ever take his sunglasses off his head?
Question: I am 17 and I want to have a career in this and just need some
help. What would be the best route to take in school to get to a job in the
Jeep industry.
like discount tire….smooth 🙂 you a a sponsors dream, you really are :p
cool… what is done for balancing?
Ah. Journey in the background! Good call! m/
This might be a dumb question, but do you balance them and add weights at
all?
Great video! I always wondered how a bead lock tire gets mounted, now I
know!
LOL!! For you, only if it’s blue 😉
One of the better bead lock how-to’s I have seen. I have seen a lot of
people that say to put anti-seize on the bolts for the ring so that you
don’t pull out the threads in the event that the bolts have some
electrolysis go on. Not an issue if the wheels have stainless inserts, but
could be an issue for the ones that do not.
You can drive your Jeep to most any tire shop like Discount Tire and have
them balance your wheels after the fact.
Excellent stuff guys! Love these type of videos. This video confirms that I
did it right. Although, I couldn’t find any info on Toyo’s site if the
Opencountry M/T’s have an inside and outside design for the wheel. Both
sides look the same to me. 🙂
But I don’t think it’d be wise to use beadlocks on roads/highway.
Google “liftlaws beadlocks” the top link should give you a pretty good
answer on that, the answer is much more complicated than yes or no.
are these street legal?
Can I use any bucket or does it need to be blue?
Great video, cant wait for more
A good bead lock wheel like the ATX slab will balance without any problems
Do the Nitto Trail Grappler MT’s hum at highway speeds? I like the looks of
the tire but I think I might go with Toyo Open Country MT’s in 35×12.5×20.
This is a new series
We’ve run both and both sound pretty much the same.
Having run both, I would say that the Nitto’s do wear faster than Toyo’s
but, they also seem to hook up better on the rocks.
How do the nitto’s wear compared to the toyo’s? I am running nitto mud
grappler and they seem to be wearing very fast on road.
Great there goes more money now that I can trust my self to do this now.
Great video, I’ve always wondered how they mount tires on beadlocks.
Question: When working with bead-lock rims, is it difficult to get them
balanced correctly for on road use? I have a set of wheels that is unable
to be balanced correctly and therefore unusable on road. They are not
bead-locked though.
Love the video. Now I know how to do this so hopefully we will get that one
random customer at work that brings in bead locks 😀 Learned to drive stick
on YouTube and now bead locks. Awesome.
i use balancing powder, but the glas type on my wheels!
*there 😉
Isn’t bolting them down in a star criss cross pattern much more accurate in
getting the beadlocks down equally?
I would think so. Unless the product is labelled as “Offroad use only. Not
for Highway use.” Because then, it won’t meet DOT or SAE standards. But
other than that, you should be fine!
Thanks for the video!
