I just put 2 new tires on my JD mower, and they looked exactly like your wheel and tire here. Same caved-in tread on the ew tire from shipping, same diameter wheel. I used a 4-quart round Pyrex bowl, and put about a 2' strip of half-inch OD silicone tubing around the lip. Then, I put masking tape over the backside of the axle hole to seal it from air escaping. Placing the tire on the tubing-lined bowl, carefully centered, I pressed down on the hub with one hand, and filled air into the stem with the other hand. I didn't remove the valve stem, and the air compressor is a tame little guy that looks about the size of a small carry-on bag with a telescoping handle and wheels. I wetted both tire beads with soapy water, just wetting my fingers and wiping that on until they were wet but not all drippy. Pressing down on the open end of the hub while adding air pushes the wheel against the outer (upper) tire bead. Pressing the wheel down onto the bowl also seals the back sidewall against the bowl, which should begin to puff up the tire as you add air in the valve stem.. The tire should start expanding lime a cake rising, lifting the wheel until it touches the inside (underside) bead of the tire. Once it does that, you can stop pressing and filling, and check to see if the tire and rim are together on both sides. If not, repeat steps as needed, and do it again. Once it is seated enough to hold air on its own, just set the tire on the floor, and fill to the correct PSI. (Around 12-18 pounds - check a manual or something) AND IT WAS EASY PEAZY! NO SWEATING AND CUSSING (Like when you wish you had 3 arms when removing the old tire and mounting the new one). I watched a video where a guy used a 5-gallon bucket against the inside sidewall, but my tire's raised letters are at the bucket diameter, so it was unable to keep air in the bucket and puff up the tire to hit both rim sides. And I didn't have to push down very hard when the wheel and tire were sitting on the bowl. Just enough to bring the underside bead and rim together. It worked great, and the Pyrex bowl worked because it touched the sidewall where there were no raised letters, only some of those small rubber nibs on new tires. If you don't have any soft tubing you ca slit to put arou d the tol edge of the bowl, try it without any. It might work. I just had some in a junk drawer, left over from some other project, like a solar birdbath fountain, I think. The goal is to trap air pressure in thw bowl. That's why masking or painter's tape (blue or green) is put over the axle hole in the back of the wheel.

I have the AVS2 for 5 months and I have the screw that lowers the Idle all the way out not touching and when I drive my nova I have to put it in neutral and rev real fast to get the carb to idle back down at a stop light it’s like something on the passenger side of the carb is hanging or something how can I fix this please?

Why did the beat not seat with the 12V inflator while using the leaf blower? Is the bead going to seat only with a compressor?

With springs be sure they are holding rods down at cruise that's why I said rods instead

Instead of springs I would change metering rods but without an afr gauge itvwont be better than a good guess.

I never comment, but.... Ive been watching you for years as I was building my 73'. Well done Matt! Im pumped for you and your family.

I never comment....but Ive been watching you for years while building my 73' Bronc and I'm pumped for you. Nice work Matt! Well done.

By any chance if you start messing around with different shackle heights could the rear axle become off center in the wheel wells?

you didnt remove it ffs, dont put a title "Install and Removal" when you only installed! ass!

[cat reading news paper] I need a lightup sufing santa now [/cat reading newspaper]

Funny you should say you don't need another project. I have 8 Cougars and another 10 full size Mercs---plus other equipment. Cool Cougars, not sure on the asking price if it was worth it. But, that was like 7 months ago......sounds like I need to keep watching to see how the story evolves.

It's a ball joint press.

Congrats my friend on finishing the Bronco build and the burnout at the end was a great finale! Time to start looking for another project 😂🤣

Well done!!

Great work. Thanks for sharing all the work you’ve done. It’s incredibly helpful to a novice like me! What’s next?!

I Am Doing This To My K Swapped 69 C10. This Is Now Saved In My "K-Swap" Album.

I'm just going to gently drive off,lol.Great job matt!

Congraulations, Matt! It came out great. I love the lift mechanism for the top. I am going to have to copy that. Any hints about what project you'll be starting for season 11?

Congrats!

N-I-I-I-CE

Real nice!!

Wow man, way to knock this one out of the park. I love it!

The burnout is perfect!

Very much respect your work ethic and dedication to getting it done. Thanks for sharing the journey with us!

Congratulations, that Bronco looks so fantastic. Enjoy it this summer.

Great Job, don’t put yourself down on the paint, it really looks great, is that ole truck next on the rebuild, hope so, would miss not catching your videos

Nice work on the bronco,you definitely beat me in finishing your bronco

Right on Matt. Nice to see it complete

Dude Matt this thing is a stunner. And i call BS when you say you didn't do it the right way, and I call BS that i did it the right way. In fact I did my paint wrong twice and gave up and paid the pros. haha. I claim right of first refusal if you want to sell this thing, but I probably can't afford it. :) Also, in your last video you said you were unsure if you'd enjoy driving it.... sooo...... do you enjoy driving it? a guy who claimed the right of first refusal would like to know!

Congrats Matt!

Nice Work Matt! You're an inspiration to all of us wrenching on our Broncos. I'm 8 years in and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet.

Wow - great looking bronco and with some get up and go. I feel like a Sniper 2 is in her future.. Congrats!

Awesome, Matt! Where is your maiden voyage going to be!?!? Keep us posted!

This is my concession speech....Nice Job Matt!

Congrats! Really nice job. Happy for ya.

Beautiful! In process with my ‘74!!!! What size tires are those? Mine has uncut rear quarters as well. Great job, Matt!

Wooo hooo! and you're accurate. You won the race to completed bronco!

Great job, proud of you. Enjoy it. 🥰

Congratulations looks great

Time for a third Bronco build?

*promo sm*

I know this video is five years old but it really was helpful in with getting my TJs clutch operating properly. Thank you very much Matt!

Since you gotta a IH, I subscribed.

As long as the information is correct then this is a great video. Gave me a expanded understanding and reinforcement for my spring suspicions. There are still a lot of questions I have about how various leaf pack mods and setup alterations will achieve different application goals. I think the main scenario that comes to mind is how a longer shackle will affect perceived on-road ride comfort when installed on the same leaf pack and using the same mounting points. This would be ideal for a DIY mechanic with basic tools and a limited budget that wants a more comfortable on-road experience with zero to little (driver+personal items/tools in cab=200-300lbs) additional payload. The problem I've been having is trying to get a smoother on-road ride quality out of a 2003 PreRunner TRD Double Cab. It has thick 3/1 two stage over-spring leaf packs. I'm unsure of the spring rates. Every aftermarket suspension component available for this truck is for lift, load, and/or off-roading/overlanding which all seem to equal a harsh on-road experience unless you're willing to drop $3k+ on 2- or 3-way adjustable reservoir coil overs and shocks and another $1k+ on progressive leaf packs, but even then you'll end up with a 3"+ lift with a 500-1klb payload increase which will then require new control arms, brake lines, diff drop kit, panhard correction kit, new ball joints, an alignment...the list goes on and on. You can do all that to this truck, but so far I haven't found one stitch of information about how to improve the ride quality for a daily driver aside from the snarky comment of "leave it factory". I refuse to accept this.

ok ,I'm curios how you get starting point for shackle mount ? to get 35deg ? sprin eye to spring eye length or what , I've done this on toyota, now changing superduty to get better flex , going to move shackle mount ,

Your info is really great. I find it interesting learning all the nuance of different suspension set ups.

Amazing! You drove it!!!!!

Nice build! Did you do a one inch body lift to fit the AX15?

Great video Great info

Thank you very much sir.
