How to Fix a Flat Using a Tire Plug to Repair a Puncture on a Jeep Truck or Car with Ease

[@victorlewis3409]

I'm glad you could use that tires a spare not throw it away. Precious little dog, I hope he brings you happiness just like your previous pet.

[@wayalife]

Thank you.

[@kenkot6195]

Thank you. I’m 61 years old and never done this. Very informative.

[@wayalife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@harisbuza8862]

Seriously the best Jeep videos on KZbin

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we really do appreciate you saying as much.

[@dawnpennington6556]

Your videos make a person look like a professional, thanks for sharing.

[@wayalife]

LOL - Glad to hear you find our videos to be helpful :)

[@1111Overland]

Honestly, I always understood the principles but I never actually saw it done. Thanks for the quick and informative video now I can do this with confidence!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! So glad we could share this with you :)

[@jdofmemi]

Even though I've plugged many tires, I still watched all the way to the end, and for that I was rewarded with an adorable clip of the newest family member. It's like she was waiting for the toy to play back😁. She looks like a lot of fun

[@wayalife]

Thanks Jerry! Glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)

[@abdullarashid1204]

Loved the little bonus clip at the end! Wish you guys all the best!

[@petemiller519]

Good video, didn't know about inflating the tire to make it more rigid. Love the pup, feed him raw meat, he'll have a better quality of life and you'll practically avoid a vet. Ours is 14, been on raw meat all her life, and she is still running around being a little mischievous pest like a puppy. Love that dog, I'll be a wreck when she passes away. Hopefully she'll make it to at least 18 years. Cheers from Canada.

[@johntamulonis4626]

Glad I stayed for the puppy at the end, cutest pup ever!

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you enjoyed the clip of Ripley :)

[@Bodhi7007]

In this video, more than plugging the hole, I loved it to see Ripley playing and filling the hole 👍🏽

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@Lonewolfe7586]

Recently found this channel, let me say that I love the little tips, saves a ton of aggravation, swearing and tools flying. Thanks

[@jonstone9741]

Thanks for the video. Yours was better than the first one I watched because you said to inflate the tire to make it easier to insert the reamer tool. I was having a hell of a time trying to do it when the tire was soft. The puppy video was an extra treat. I have a German Shepherd/Husky, almost three years old, named Doofy.

[@wayalife]

Glad we could be of help to you with this video and glad to hear you enjoyed seeing Ripley 😎

[@murphtahoe1]

This was great little how to video. So many people have bought those kits, but don’t know how or have never seen them used. Plus, the puppy is just too cute, telling that toy who’s boss!

[@wayalife]

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the video and seeing Ripley :)

[@hhhbkid]

The ending caught me off guard, but I loved it. 😁 The only addendum I'd make is to take the tire out for a quick ten minute drive to help the tire warm up and the plug to bond. Great video!

[@patrickminns1007]

Great job on the video, excellent topic but also some clever editing. I have a big rig with a leaking tire. I believe it is a nail, and at $600 per tire, I finally decided to buy the Safety Seal Tire Repair kit that looks similar to the one you have. You made it look easy, and I hope now that I have observed the process demonstrated, I am as successful in my repair as you. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate. Cool vehicles in your garage!!

[@wayalife]

Happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎

[@hg7240]

Couldn't have been more straight forward-very helpful. Thanks. cheers

[@wayalife]

Awesome, glad to hear you found the video to be useful :)

[@Alex_from_Texas]

Thank you for this one; if I or someone in our group gets a flat on the trail, I'll look like a pro fixing it for them.

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome :)

[@jeffreybetts9255]

Been using a kit similar to that one, safety seal , bought mine in 1975 , still use it today

[@dobbins2550]

Came for the technical info, glad I stayed to see the puppo.

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome :)

[@stevejachim9951]

Eddie I have plugged my sidewalls plenty of times.they have worked for the life of my tires.even with wheeling.

[@chuckzechman7390]

Nice how to video. Really like that you are switching it to your spare since the repair is on the "shoulder". Stay Healthy and God Bless!

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@desertfox3860]

Thanks Eddie. I've seen these kits around but have never used one. At least now I know how. Ripley is a cutie pie! It's going to be fun watching him grow!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad we could be of help with the video and glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)

[@CIAG4PNP]

Sir you make the best Jeep Videos! Thank you and your new puppy is so super adorable!

[@wayalife]

You're too kind, thank you :)

[@boldrbangr9834]

Ripley is too dang cute! Can't wait to see her going with you on adventures. Stay safe!

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@JonnyBgooD007]

Thank you for this! I also appreciate the the provided Boulder Tools alternative, as well as the ending haha.

[@wayalife]

You bet! Glad that our video was helpful to you 😎

[@JLURBilletSilverMetallic]

The new Puppy is so beautiful and I wish you guys luck .I still miss Tessa though :( she was such a great jeeper .

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We miss our Tessa dearly.

[@MikeCurtis7663]

Thank you and the bonus puppy coverage was great!

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you enjoyed the extra bit we included :)

[@wskroll]

Great Video! I've always been curious about the tire plug tools, so now...I need a kit! Thanks!

[@wayalife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Abeezy-Byob]

This happened to me today but mines was right above the shoulder on the thread , I’m running Toyo AT3 on a grand Cherokee , I have this kit in my Amazon box ready to go!!!! Great video

[@wayalife]

Ah, bummer. But, glad that our video will be helpful to you!

[@Matt02341]

Last year a crazy neighbor kept putting screws in my tire. Bought a kit, fixed it just like you did. Thanks for the vote of confidence and Ridley should protect you from all the vicious stick animals on the trails! Lol. Thanks again you two. (Or is it three now?)

[@wayalife]

Well that's a bummer about your neighbor! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@thatmand4542]

very nice and informational video and i loved the cute ending with ripley

[@wayalife]

So glad to hear you found our video to be helpful and that you enjoyed the ending :)

[@Logan-de3xx]

Hey brother, was watching some videos and you came my mind! I hope all is well with you and that you and your family are doing well and staying safe!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, we're good. We were planning on going to Moab for EJS but that got cancelled. We'll get new content up soon.

[@Logan-de3xx]

Glad to hear you and your fam good! I know a ton of stuff is cancelled for obvious reasons but it’s okay! At least you have some nice toys to get away in! Ahahaha 😅

[@mariodesmo]

You make it look easy! I always seem to screw up the pull-it-out in one-easy-pull part of the repair... lol

[@HughMungusBob]

Thanks for the tip on the repair kit, just ordered it. Love all your videos.

[@wayalife]

Awesome, glad to hear it! :)

[@DeltasAdventures]

Love watching your videos. Even tho I already know how to plug a tire, I love how your videos are edited, well put together, and very thorough. Plus, wanted to see the new puppy Ripley!

[@wayalife]

Awesome, thank you :)

[@bellyisis]

Love the tips & especially da look@8:37 “ have you been watching me that whole time?”

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@terrystotzheim9719]

Was happy to see another video from you and Cindy!! Thanks for the puppy bonus at the end!!!!! :)

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you enjoyed the bonus clip :)

[@PropanePete]

ARB puncture kit, originally designed and manufactured in Melbourne Australia in the mid 70's by Tony Brown (Anthony Ronald Brown - hence the ARB). The company now has operations in South Africa, the USA and elsewhere.

[@robbenson8135]

Great video, love your new pup...sorry about your old pup.

[@wayalife]

Thank you

[@BigWheelFab]

Sure missing your videos. The new pup looks like a handful.

[@wayalife]

LOL - aren't they all :)

[@rocko8153]

Good to have you guys back ... great ending to the video,

[@wayalife]

Thank you and we're so glad you enjoyed the ending :)

[@nachovalenti]

Good to see you Eddie. Very useful advice and great job. The new family member is so cute. Stay safe and healthy. Thanks Cindy and Eddie for sharing.

[@wayalife]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video and seeing Ripley :)

[@tuomasholo]

I found this video very helpful. Thanks. Puppy video is icing on the cake.

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome, glad you found it to be helpful and glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)

[@robalan57]

My Slime kit includes rubber cement. It seems like a good idea. The tools are not as nice on their cheap kit, but the pro kit looks good and I will probably get it soon. The inexpensive kit did work well. I got it at Walmart for less than $10.

[@wayalife]

Awesome :)

[@seange4089]

I really enjoy your videos, you should do a tour of your garage. You should hook up with the guy from Trailrecon and do some videos

[@scott_b]

Great video, simple and to the point. Nice touch with the puppy at the end. Stay safe.

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you enjoyed it and all the way to the end :)

[@chrisjones2252]

Love the video. LOL, just bought the boulder tools tire repair kit. I guess I chose wisely. Love the video of the new pup. Thanks again for great video.

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@alexcocco5733]

i love your how to do videos, i wish you would show how to do trail repairs on vehicles like gladiator or jk, what needs to be repaired and how to do it video would be great, changing an axle shaft, fixing a broken u joint, any repairs you have seen done on the trail and how to get your vehicle back to civilization. this would be a great set of videos for the beginner off roader and would also help with selecting the tools and parts needed to keep your jeep running off road , these would be a refference series for all offroaders.

[@wayalife]

Actually, we do feature some of that in our videos. Our Bedeviled video shows an axle shaft change and I'm pretty sure our Maple Honey one shows a u-joint replacement. We've also done ring gear removals on a few others. But, we also have specific videos that show some of this stuff in detail and they'll help out a lot on the trail.

[@alexcocco5733]

Wayalife thanks

[@alexcocco5733]

Love your dog

[@juanzuniga5976]

Thanks, im not to mechanically inclined so these are very helpful. Just got my gladiator

[@wayalife]

Glad I could help and congratulations!

[@717UT]

All your videos are great 👍🏻

[@wayalife]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Bankerguy]

Ordered the arb kit. Thanks!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad we could be of help with this video.

[@jacmens]

[@wayalife]

Glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed seeing Ripley :)

[@ba177ba18]

a video that could last 30 seconds into 8 min. 👏

[@rockingkvideos3160]

Always informative, thanks for sharing. The ending will put smiles on your viewers faces, a very pleasant distraction.... Be safe and healthy 🙏👍🇺🇸

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@cobike80132]

Thanks for the break you guys, stay safe, see you soon out on the trails.

[@wayalife]

You bet!

[@davidyeats6609]

Good to see you again 👊 And the new puppy Ripley 😂🙂🐶

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@kneonknight5009]

Great video! Thanks for the instruction and the bonus puppy vid! I carry a tire repair kit and feel a LOT more confident that I’ll know what I’m doing if I ever need it.

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Also, glad to hear you enjoyed the end clip :)

[@qshrek]

Nice quick painless instructional video

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear you found it to be informative :)

[@stevetabor4447]

Hey Eddie good stuff been carrying one for 30 + years might need to upgrade might be lil dry 😂😂 come to think about it it’s been that long since had a flat 🤔 puppy’s so cute a lot of fun as always be safe

[@wayalife]

So glad to hear you haven't needed to use your kit! Also, glad you enjoyed seeing Ripley hard at work :)

[@enriquesanchez2662]

Thank you men💪 you make look so easy😅. I will try

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad I could be of help 👍

[@dexxydoo]

Damn Eddie! You jinxed it for me. After I watched this vid I got a huge gash on my brand new KO2. Great vid tho!

[@wayalife]

LOL - sorry about that :)

[@dexxydoo]

Wayalife Hey Eddie. Question... I added more weight to my jl sport with thicker ko2s (still 31s), steel bumpers and rock sliders. I don’t plan adding anything else but definitely feel it on the mpg and low end torque. Would re gearing improve both in my case?

[@ANDREA-gi6nb]

It is always a pleasure to watch your complimeti videos. I love america I would love a world to come to nevada and admire your workshop 😊by Itali

[@wayalife]

Thank you. So happy that you enjoyed it :)

[@waycam77]

my 13 yr old Border Collie loved the ending

[@wayalife]

LOL - awesome :)

[@FXA1978]

Excellent video.

[@wayalife]

Glad you liked it!

[@bobsteger3922]

As usual, another great video. Thanks for giving me a break from the quarantine.

[@wayalife]

Glad we could help out :)

[@fwschnaar3179]

Thank you for the Video... As always a Quick Thumbs Up... You and Cindy stay Safe during these Crazy Times ! 😃

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it and please keep safe as well :)

[@danstroupe3726]

Love the videos, keep them coming.

[@wayalife]

Thanks, will do!

[@onthefly4711]

Thank you so much for the great video! I wonder why there is only lubricant in that kit, isn´t there a need for glue?

[@wayalife]

There is no need for glue as the plugs are already treated with what is needed to make it work.

[@redneck6pack]

I am a truck driver (Tanker oil field in North Dakota) and I got 4 of those kits one for my wife’s car my Gladiator our grand Cherokee and my semi. Very handy even if it’s a side wall and you don’t want to walk lol I got spare tires in everything but the semi but with 26 tires unless it’s a steer tire I can get to a shop

[@wayalife]

Nice! :)

[@adamwagner4567]

love the video of ripley playing and barking. makes me want to get a dog.

[@wayalife]

LOL - they're a handful and a pain at times but well worth it if you can put in the work to help them grow up into good dogs :)

[@realbob6669]

Thanks, very useful. Why most of garage pits fire on it after?

[@donvape336]

I just did this using a different kit. Getting the plug in was something.

[@atticstattic]

Excellent video, unfortunately it looks like Boulder Tools no longer exists. Edit: it appears this kit is now sold under CTR.

[@wayalife]

Thanks for the info!

[@bobbymak6964]

Very educational. Thanks.

[@wayalife]

Glad to hear you found our video to be educational 😎

[@edgarvillalobos638]

Wow !!! Lo hiciste bien facil el video y excelente trabajo ( teniendo todas la herramientas necesarias ) 👍 : en estos últimos 5 meses ya llevo 2 ponchaduras de neumático . Ya me compre mi kids . Gracias 🙏 por tu ayuda en el video . ( u have a nice garage man 👍

[@juancervantes6506]

Great video bro ! Hey what do you do for a living ?

[@wayalife]

LOL - Glad you enjoyed the video. I've done a lot of different things over the years but currently, this is what I do, play with Jeeps 😎

[@ronontheroam1359]

The puppy is too cute

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@bobbysmith9380]

Thanks for the video!!

[@wayalife]

Glad that you enjoy them :)

[@Dyna__vic]

Love all your videos !! Where it’s possible to find the decal of your Jeep ? Thx

[@wayalife]

I made them myself.

[@JeremySmith-gu2du]

Great video!

[@wayalife]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@FirstnameLastname-ur3ll]

I bought the Tru-Flat Radial Tire Repair kit. It didn't come with any lubricant or rubber glue. It only came with 10 repair strips & 1 closed eye needle. My husband put the repair strips in the closed eye needle. He did it the way you did it and when he pulled the needle slowly straight out, the strip stayed in the closed eye needle. The needles has no opening so the strip can come out and stay in the hole. So, my husband took the strip out the hole,put it on top of the hole and pushed it in with the needle just till we were able to get to a tire shop.We ended up having to drive the car with a flat to a tire shop & we have low profile tires so we got lucky we didn't tear the tire or mess up the rim while driving it 1-1/2 miles to the nearest tire shop.Do you have any suggestions on how to use this closed eye needle just Incase we have an emergency again?

[@wayalife]

Personally, I would get a new kit with a tool that has a split on the needle as you see in this video as it will make the job a lot easier. That said, I think the idea with a closed needle is to just thread in the plug in just a bit - maybe a 1/4 of the length or so. This as opposed to pulling it half way through. This will allow you to push the plug deep into the tire and when you pull it back out, you should be able to free it from the tool. When done right, you should see both ends of the plug sticking out.

[@oscarpatino330]

Be safe..... Love Ripley.... Thanks for the video tutorial...

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad you like the tutorial and the ending :)

[@kennybunker2081]

Great reminder

[@Ohmy1956]

Ripley was well entertained

[@wayalife]

LOL - yes she was :)

[@lunamaria1048]

This title is so much longer than it needs to be lol.. "How to plug a punctured tire with ease" was all you needed lol.. English is my 3rd language, so where my English lessons were so grammar focused, this sentence reminds me if myself in high school years lol.. I was always being corrected.

[@scottcampbell2836]

The tire industry would call you a menace to society. Lol i am with you plug if it is a pluggable puncture and get on with your life.

[@notnalc97]

Good video! My dad has plugged many a tire, and I actually have the kit you shared the link to. It is frowned upon to run on in the side, like that, but Dad would, Lol.

[@wayalife]

LOL - I would too but needed to put that out there for all the Negative Nancy's out there.

[@notnalc97]

Wayalife to be fair, it is just barely in the side. It will probably never give you a problem.

[@ErH777blue]

Nice done, thanks

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed what you saw 😎

[@Mineboy-10-8]

Hi I have worked in a shop for years. You’re supposed to leave the stems out and burn the ends of them also coating them with a little rubber cement before you put the plug in helps. Not trying at all to be a jerk, just have plugged hundreds of tires in my career. Love your channel

[@wayalife]

LOL - All good by me. My kit didn't come with any cement or a lighter. Been plugging tires like this for years and have never had a problem.

[@donger4040]

Where can I find an ARB air chuck dust cover (removed at 3:33)? Thanks

[@wayalife]

It's just a vinyl fitting, the kind that you put on tubes or the base of chairs.

[@donwhitehead4587]

You’re the BEST👍🏻

[@wayalife]

Thank you. Hope our video was helpful to you.

[@sinepari9160]

Can you make a video about suspension bind in factory parts

[@timoortrinnessvkasha1043]

I like our tips and trick and almost modified too👍👍👍

[@thelou7742]

What a pretty Jeep

[@JoMonki]

I was cleaning out my Gladiator and my garage and I came across my ARB repair kit and I literally today, not maybe an hour ago. Thought to myself, "I should look up how to do a repair in my spare time so I can use this if the need ever comes up." Then bam! Wolverine thumbnail. Wayalife tapped into that global monitoring system. hahahahaha

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad to hear we got this up when we did :)

[@RalphGB]

You better be putting Ripley in all the videos now!

[@wayalife]

LOL - I think we'll have try :)

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Excellent video have same kit love that garage and Jeeps 😱👊🏻

[@rocklander.project]

Hopefully I’ll never need to use what I just learned 😃 but if I do I’m prepared and I have the same ARB kit. Thanks Eddie!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! :)

[@ANDREA-gi6nb]

On this occasion I ask you for advice I would like to buy the Noco Plus GB40 1000 Amp apple tree advice?

[@jaseldelapaz2141]

Hi there, very nice jeep you have! I just wanna ask you if 315/70/17 would fit my 2008 jeep wrangler with stock wheels 3.25" lift? I appreciate it and thank you.

[@wayalife]

Yes, they will fit but you will need to run 1.5" wheel spacers if you want to keep your factory wheels.
