It's really nice to wheel with people that come as prepared as you are Matt!

[@humantribe]

That's some good info Matt. I use a similar kit and the Hi-Lift jack to remove the bead off the rim if it isn't already off. Those big inside patches really work.

[@scottgaber2267]

Good info. I am restoring a 1953 M38A1 and I plan on taking it off road. I know I probably won't be able to go thru all the stuff you guys do but it should be fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@Everlanders]

This is how we carry and change our 42 inch MPT 81 tires... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6aTlXiQrM2KbaM

[@AdventureTouringMoto]

I feel like this video was directed at me! Thanks Matt, keep 'em coming! I know it would kind of ruin the fun of a trail ride, but how about some "how to wheel" videos. I liked your winching videos from a few years back.

[@stephdau]

Had never seen the crawler's "trunk". That might just be my favorite part of it (and I do love the whole).

[@DrHavok1]

Stephane Daury there's a video of him making it in the scorpion build collection it's pretty kool you should watch it

[@stephdau]

DrHavok1: thanks! On it. :)

[@XXNINJAKILLERX]

That was a great video. Can't wait to see you fix a tire. I have 1 question for you. What type of soap do you use to wash your jeep jeep? How do clean your jeep?

[@steveyulenburg129]

Hey, you were saying you didn't particularly like the color you picked for this project.. I like your new paint job!

[@davidjessee7701]

I really like your tool box. If I ever patch a tiire or a tube. I use the liquid cement but after cleaning the patch area I put the cement ,then I set it on fire and let it burn off then apply the sticky side down and the roll the patch down then I'm done. That's the only time I use the rubber cement. It's more like a primer for the patch.

[@XXAnonymousXX22]

Hey this is really random but Matt from demolition/vet ranch is going to restore a bronco and he wants to make some rock sliders. A collab would be a good idea!

[@kaderupp4114]

Haole I totally agree.

[@yodawunn6700]

You can also get larger fiber plugs like the black ones if you check for commercial vehicle tires. I have some almost as big as a pencil.

[@ed-beahan918]

Hey Matt, Seems to me that my trail flats are usually caused by rock pinches and slashes. How do you deal with those types of flats, borrow a spare?

[@jakemyers3472]

Your trunk setup is killer!

[@animefreak5757]

You mentioned getting a tire off it's bead with a floor jack? i really gotta know how this is done. I think versatile was the wrong word for a floor jack compared to a hi-lift. The hi-lift is MUCH more versatile, you can do many things with it. On the other hand, a floor jack (or even a bottle jack) makes a much better jack then the hi-lift does. Most of the guys I wheel with grind a circle cutout on one side of the hi-lift base specifically for breaking beads.

[@LiftTech22]

Great vid man! noticed on one of your other videos your from kingston. I live in decatur. Need to go wheeling sometime haha i saw a jeep that looked identical to the cheap jeep months ago on my way to oak ridge. it was probably it hahaha

[@michaelcontreras4240]

I love your toolbox.

[@bigbadvoodoodad]

BleepinJeep, can you run the powertank on it's side like that, or do you remove it for use? Also, how cold is the CO2 coming out of it? Does it freeze up your tools? Would it be useful for shrinking stuck bolts?

[@mrfairycake4333]

Thanks for the video really useful :) Were did you get the tyre fix kit bag?

[@Razorfish]

Another option is you could send a buddy back to your trailer to get your spare from there.

[@devinscott447]

Razorfish psh

[@dcfilms347]

Could you do a video on how to install notch customs fender flares on a cherokee?

[@aaronward7526]

Mine stays back at camp too. Made a swingout but with a 38 on it I had no rear visability and it hit the ground constantly.

[@splxty2897]

Can you link all of your deflate tools? That’d be awesome.

[@dbloo1]

Great tool box.

[@MrRmga420]

Another option is just cramming as many tire plugs in the hole/tear as the tire needs, to once again hold air.

[@kb1pli]

Hopefully you guys n girls know if your axle is permanently locked, going smaller tire one side might be stressful. 😄

[@alexsprings87]

kb1pli I was going to say this too, how would lockers work with different size tires?? I guess go slow enough to not cause damage?

[@AMetalWorks]

Even if you are fully locked you can still run a smaller tire. Yes it will try and bind. However you will more than likely be on dirt or other soft surfaces so running a smaller tire to get yourself off the trail and into a safe area to address the problem could be a very viable option.

[@alexsprings87]

Very true, thanks. I carry a spare on my cj (35's) so no worries with patch kits for me. Just wondering..

[@carolinabeacher1558]

i tried that once on my 68 camaro, got a flat, put a wheel/tire i had laying around on it, took off and the tire spun off the wheel. but in mud you probably ok long as you take it easy.

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

Alex's Garage being on dirt, the tires slip and slide so diff size tires wont hurt anything. You cannot drive on pavement with different size tires and a welded diff.

[@TheMotoManiac]

Note that if you have lockers and put a different size tire on that it is important to unlock them or if you have a lunchbox locker don't drive it on the road if you can avoid it. You can break a lot of shit by driving with one different size tire (especially if it's vastly different - like a 33" on a Jeep with 37s) when you have the diff locked.

[@nealesmith1873]

Great video!

[@b20vtechustler]

How about a video on how to make that compact trunk you got in your rig ! pretty kick ass !

[@robertthomas1076]

b20vtechustler search in the scorpion crawler vids. I'm pretty sure there is a video showing how he built it.

[@HyralProductions]

Do you ever wash the scorpion crawler?

[@OffroadMilitia]

I don't like high lift jacks either I just carry a small cylinder jack. Ratchet strap and lighter fluid too

[@RandomlyPhill]

Have you done a video where you just go over your entire inventory yet!

[@mr.bluegrass9723]

Great video. Thanks

[@nrconnor60]

Do you still hydro assist peoples steering boxes?

[@TheKillerMarine]

Where did you get that bag?

[@67DocG]

I thought for sure I'd find someone else that also carries a few upholstery needles and some monofilament fishing line with the patch kit. Oh well. I still like your setup better though, I'll be making some changes to mine.

[@LogicBob]

Good video Matt. Where'd you get that floor jack?

[@TheKajunkat]

Logic Bob that is a harbor freight jack. Can't beat them for the money.

[@OKRODDER]

I have a large trail that i have considered opening to the public. crosses 12 acres. should i consider building a recovery rig for my trail. I feel like i should so that the trails dont back up.

[@miltonrojas7698]

J.W. Hunt where and where are you planning on opening your trail?

[@OKRODDER]

Kaiamechee mountains eastern oklahoma

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

J.W. Hunt they're responsible for their own recovery. Thats part of offroading.

[@crashedking1931]

Yea so your one of those guys who dont bring a spare because your friends always carry one. Your prepared to use there stuff. Im am like you and one of those guys. But we earn our keep in many other ways to prove most valuable. Another thing the day I put a spare on my rig I had to use it. My other rig has 42s on it I have never had failure to the point to where my tool kit similar to your couldn't get me home. Thanks love your content. Keep it coming and ill keep👍👍👍👍👍

[@MrMrsregor]

24" tire iron (spoon) at harbor freight for $6 each

[@gordongman3423]

33" tires are kinda big. Blocks up most of my rear window on my XJ

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

Gordon GMan 33" tires are tiny.

[@joechurchill8055]

Ahhh so you like relying on your friends if you break down. Ha just giving you a hard time , you made some good points in this video

[@brightonzubrick5937]

What happened to the power wagon??

[@traemiller5523]

Yup....been weelin for years the only I've ever used a hylift for was to change a trailer tire!!!!

[@leonspringsboystv2025]

Trae Miller they are unsafe trash imo... I'd honestly rather use a bottle jack

[@MtHoodMaster]

I just leave my spare at base camp and a friend can always go get it or like matt said use someone's to get back.

[@lidji08]

Yes, please do show how to fix tire, I had vague idea how its done, just getting into off roading

[@wheels.and.wrenches]

BorisGrayman look it up

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

I keep my 42" spare on the trailer. I can limp back or have another rig go get it for me.

[@Billyboy4209]

Random fact, The little guy inside the valve stem is caller a schrader valve lol so if anyone is looking for the schrader valve tool to they know what to ask for. Lol it was my favorite tool in high school 😁

[@kriscringle7507]

Where did you get the abrasive wheel on your die grinder?

[@xplorearizona154]

Kris Cringle any tool store should have them. just call around. id try harbor freight first.

[@marlonsalinas3541]

uuhhhh .. kahkis ?

[@TheHopback]

I'm pretty sure a high lift can get you Jeep high enough to change a tire........it's called the hilift mate I think. Hooks that attach to your wheel.

Wouldn't those tyres run flat anyway?

[@boomstickkid]

2 things: you have a stock motor. why wouldnt you just convert the a/c compressor for compressed air? i converted mine for less then 100$ way cheaper and easier then dealing with the high pressure tanks. also when you patch from the inside. you just put a very very light coat of glue over the repair area, let it dry! then apply your patch.

[@davidsandberg7631]

it might be that he is sponsored by the company that sells the tanks.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

I went with a 20 lb CO2 tank because I could use it for other things when I didn't need it on my Jeep... I use it for my beer kegerator and to carbonate beverages.

[@stevedavis9973]

What if you tear a side wall on a trail? None of these will help.

[@robertthomas1076]

Steve Davis a patch can repair a hole in the sidewall. not like you would want to leave it that way and wheel it for months but it would get you back to the trailer and maybe save your weekend.

[@stevedavis9973]

Robert Thomas. Never seen that before. Not saying it can't be done

[@bleepinjeep]

+Robert Thomas true that, seen it done on a 4" gash you could put your hand through, held for the rest of the ride.

[@stevedavis9973]

BleepinJeep waiting on your video on how to patch a tear like that. That would be awesome! I'm a noob to the Jeep world. Been a Samurai guy sense I was 16. So I have a lot of trail experience, just never seen a patch on a tear in the side wall. Do love your videos!

[@ThanosJK]

Gashed a 35" Safari TSR on granite a couple years ago - Full finger-width gash in the sidewall. No patches, it took more than 5 tire plugs but we got it stuffed enough that it held the 13psi I was running for the entire rest of the day of wheeling until I could get back to camp and swap in the spare tire.

[@ctrlnull5308]

This is the video I'm looking for

[@bajadan2769]

A 33 inch tire is too big to drag around for me - 1 flat in 20 years on/ off road

[@Toolaholic7]

The tire plugs,the rawhide plugs are not worth using.They don't seal very well and leak,I have pulled these out with a pair of pliers real easy.The rubber plugs are better.You don't want to run a smaller spare tire,can do damage to the transfer case and the 4wd does not work right.The tires have be the same size basically

[@16driver16]

I'd just keep a spare on the trailer or in my tow rig

[@TheKillerMarine]

The one with your air grinder in

[@detectoraid5985]

Gemplers Ultraseal and those tire repair kits gather dust.

[@jamesflores9456]

intro is nice

[@jeffkidding5876]

My dad dose not have a spare cuz he has 44s but he has bed locks and run flats

[@xplorearizona154]

fixing a flat is much better than a spare. main reason is if you do carry a spare and carma bites you twice then your still stuck with a flat.

[@anndrogynous815]

I never thought something as simple as a spare tire could cause so much of a fuss. Not being able to fix your mistakes/misfortunes is pretty selfish. Not only is your day spoiled, you can burn a trailmate's day if they have to go back for tools or parts.

[@anndrogynous815]

...if someone is blowing out two tires, they probably deserve to be stuck.

[@liamstrong5223]

Ann Drogynous I mean to be fair I have driven trails over lava rock and taken some good Chunks out of my side walls with a good set of Cooper's,, so if someone doesn't have nice strong tires I can see them getting multiple flats

[@Paiadakine]

Late reply but many moons ago three of us ran sledgehammer and I cut a sidewalk, put my spare on and later cut another tires sidewall. I had no other choice but to jam it full of safety seal plugs to finish the trail. I’m gonna look into these patches.,

[@redxj4968]

Wouldnt hurt to leave a wheel and tire with the truck

[@profitlemon5004]

you could also carry a tube

[@crashedking1931]

Mat too bad they didn't make a 40" donut tire.

[@OffroadMilitia]

I just keep my spare at camp and yard my rig off to the side and have a buddy give me a ride back to get it. Unless I can bum a spare off someone. Yeah. I'm that guy

[@crunchycrispybacon]

I don’t carry a spare period. No need anywhere in the lower 48.

[@insaynbcr]

You can make yourself a spare "Wagon Wheel" that will easily mount on the roof and is way lighter and much thinner than an actual spare. Too many ways to make a heavy duty "Wagon Wheel" to describe each way, just have to use your imagination.

[@patrickrodriguez320]

What a hassle. If I can't put a quick plug I'd rather just struggle with a heavy ass tire for 15 minutes honestly. Or have a friend help

[@76crx]

That’s too much tools bro ! I just carry on my AAA card instead of that or spare tire ☠️

[@SamKooiker]

Running 46" and portals.....

[@RNicknackpaddywhack]

I don’t carry spare underwear. You just have to acknowledge that sh*t happens.

[@boblugaluga100]

6:63 Sniper laser sight pointed at his heart. DUCK!

[@rustybrowneye]

You say rubber see-ment........

[@gabrielpacher4925]

2nd

[@marlonsalinas3541]

wtf - that looks like way to much work - show me the lazy way to avoid carrying a spare .

[@FairlyHonest]

What... :-)

[@ddoperations2768]

Cool story you always need a spare if you wheel

[@terrinewman7390]

I wonder how many younger people are not sure what those tire patches are??
