How To Put Water In Your Tires and Why? - Rock Crawler Tip

[@sharonnicholson3393]

I'll never see water the same again you shed new light on that slippery subject

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Ha ha ha ha the puns!

[@wreckedgearjess]

Hahah! Sharon you crack me up! Love it. 😆😆😆😆

[@ChristhompsonDG]

Water is such a game changer. It can be annoying but it’s worth it

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

so true!!!!

[@wreckedgearjess]

The only annoying part I have noticed is the surging when you're rocking to or from the trail. Otherwise, wheeling without it is strange at this point. LOL.

[@rescueinoldraggedy7407]

thats cool , i never thought about yall putting water in the tires for weight , stay safe my friends , see you on the next one

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Its a simple hack that is a huge game changer out on the trail.

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Your on to us😁

[@MIOffroadCustoms]

🤷‍♂️💯 I so wish I could be out there. Keeping my eyes peeled for your Vidja of the awesomeness out there.

[@wreckedgearjess]

@@MIOffroadCustoms Hopefully Bronson can knock out a TH video real quick for ya. We got the footage!!

[@ericargueta]

Still up in the air about water, but just went 1550 and 40 spline, think it’s time to try it out!

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Water helps a lot!!! I would for sure try it. its not much work to do it just to test it. You will pull over obstacles way easier.

[@wreckedgearjess]

Try your new set up without water, then go back and try the same trail/obstacle with water. As long as the amount of water you put in your tires is good, you will love it.

[@jackirichard414]

Hello. Awesome video! I have my Ford Maverick ordered! Now the long wait begins! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Its going to be so worth it!!!

[@wreckedgearjess]

Thanks, Jacki! Cannot wait to see your Maverick!

[@BumDogSuMo]

And now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

ha ha ha ha sure is!

[@wreckedgearjess]

Its wild the things you learn wheeling.

[@GadsdenJL]

Yo JOE! Lol

[@DirtRoadJourney]

This is a great tip 👍

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

This is one of those things I wish someone would have walked me through and givin me the pros and cons earlier. So I figured if it was something that would have helped me it will help someone else.

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

​@@WRECKEDGEAR 100%

[@chrislyons8346]

we run half hub as well. how are you guys liking the REDS VS. TSL

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

So much more traction with the BFGs!!!! And ha e been beaten through the AZ rocks a bunch!!

[@wreckedgearjess]

Its really a good amount. Not too much and enough to keep that front end down.... Mostly. haha! The connection to the rocks is incomparable! We are loving the Red Labels.

[@virgilray7708]

I never know what to do with my hands either 😂

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Look out!!!! We have a rare Virgil sighting in the comments!!!

[@wreckedgearjess]

Its more rare than Sasquatch!

[@Burke_Motorsports]

So straight water? Like out the garden hose? For some reason I had it in me head as it being some kind of calcium solution.

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Straight water for us SW wheelers. If you were somewhere cold I could for sure see adding radiator fluid to keep it from freezing.

[@wreckedgearjess]

Yeah luckily where we live its not a concern for the water to freeze in the tires. But i think he mentioned you can also use Lead Shot and Steel Shot instead of water; or even a mix.

[@Burke_Motorsports]

@@wreckedgearjess We grew up drinking out the garden hose, so must be good for this particular case!

[@wreckedgearjess]

@@Burke_Motorsports Good enough for me! Good enough for these BFG's! lol

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Pink rv antifreeze is the best radiator fluid will rot the tire just like it does radiator hoses

[@bmxchangedmylife6155]

What air pressure do you run with the water?

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

I run same pressure as without. BFGs I run 12 in front and 10 in the rear. The old TSLs I ran 6 in front 4 in the rear.

[@wreckedgearjess]

Such a good question and one I never considered until we began filling the tires with water. 💦💦

[@jameshooper4038]

I've been thinking about doing this for the last year plus - really paranoid that I'll find out quickly that my D-60 with chromo outers will succumb quickly with 42" stickies...do you guys add any washer fluid to lower freezing temp? Removing a tire and putting it back on could be a challenge as well

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Changing a tire is for sure much harder and a pain but the added performance is well worth the extra pain in the but. Being in AZ we really don't have to worry about them freezing but if we were up north or somewhere cold we would for sure us that or something similar to keep them from freezing.

[@rubberduckyTJ]

old video oh well bump the algorythm. can you expand some more on, does that trick get "all" the water out? like if i wanted to go back to road driving, can i just pressurize and dump a few times? or do i need to unseat. and road driving, how is it around town? any first hand experience? obviously no highway, but 35-45 mph..?

[@dwaynemartin5174]

I cheated I drilled my rims and put radiator drains across from the valve steam

[@WRECKEDGEAR]

Thats a rad hack! Luckily we are in AZ so we dont need to run radiator fluid.
