Installing 40" Tires on the Race Jeep Wrangler!!

[@StormbornJKU]

That race Jeep is absolutely badass. The fact that you built the entire thing in your own garage is absolutely crazy. The knowledge it takes, the work, truly amazing. I hope to be able to do something like that one day myself.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you! It was a feat, but im amazed at how it turned out and really proud of it.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Can’t wait to drive this thing around at crossbar! A group ride this summer will be a blast 🤘🏼

[@Muffduster]

I’d recommend you look at Starlite Trailers in Claremore, OK. I’d also suggest you visit Hot Springs, AR over Memorial Day weekend for Madness in May.

Thanks for bringing us along, this content is unique… Love that race motor sound!

[@georginiagibson786]

Hey Ben & Cassie! Love watching your videos!

[@PaulKaiser42]

That little race jeep just sounds so bad ass👍🏻👍🏻

Lubrication! Water with dish soap and it can help with that coming off easier. Sprayed on the in on the bead area so that as you start peeling it lubricate the inside of the tire better and eventually it'll come off easier.

[@cameronhoover7561]

I always use my break rotor with the wheel and tire off and put the wheel tire under it and lower the jeep truck or what ever right on the inside 😊

[@SpooxyCowboy1911]

I loved the beadlocks on the race jeep so I bought a set for my LJ. Thank god race line is having a sale on beadlocks rn

[@TheHillbillyhotrod]

Engine hoist works great for separating tires. Drop the legs on the tire and hook to the center of the wheel and jack away. Works super awesome

[@troypowell6204]

Get a bead buster off of Amazon, best 150 you will ever spend

[@JimMiller-n5k]

Set the wheel on it's side with the stem core removed. Spray the bead down with diluted dish washing soap & water.Drive over the tire, not the rim. Best bead buster i ever used + i didn't waste a buck fifty. Wyatt James, Hillbilly Engineering, Cucumber 🥒 WVa.

Great 🇺🇸 stuff 🇺🇸 👍

[@caroleertel2961]

Love your videos ❤

[@jrmotorsports55]

Nice work. That rig is wicked!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you!

I’ve been considering a sundowner 9624 trailer.

[@lonewulf0328]

you are much more trusting of the load capacity of a 2x 4 that I am 😮

[@garretlewis4103]

Saw the Clayton decal on the race Jeep. Thinking about getting a Clayton suspension for my wife’s Gladiator. Are you running Clayton on any of your other Jeeps? What do you think about that suspension?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Running it on our JT, its a fantastic kit!

[@USMCCorsair]

Although with that said, I had to fight some 40 inch tires the same way to get them off even with the lubrication. My girlfriend thought I was nuts, but I got it down on one wheel then decided to give up and take the rest to tire shop

[@anthonygendron9737]

With all of the vehicles you have a tire machine might be beneficial.

[@AntonioPerez-kk8cj]

Do I have to look for another flame red grill for sale in the near future?

[@BattlePhrog165]

Come on out to San Diego for a new trailer at Ronco Trailers! Then make a video with @crawltv

[@JKGearandGadgets]

That’s quite a haul 😅

[@jimmyburks7030]

Let me know when! I was just saying I would like to come ride with you guys!

[@MrSrtman18]

Ill buy some tires when you get more hand me downs lol. You know, thats one hell of a rig! You built that son of a bitch.

[@stephenwhite5444]

Cool video! With going through so many tires, do you have a recommendation for m/t's that are also daily driven on interstate? I was looking at Cooper Evolution m/t's and Geolander m/t's....both about the same price. Need something solid on road in heavy rain and smooth on interstate without being super noisy....and goid off-road. Any suggestions???

[@JKGearandGadgets]

The Geolander G003s are a great choice, as well as Nitto trail grapplers

[@raystevens687]

Hay thought you have a tire machine. Am I mistaken.

[@DCarter355]

Are those Vision Manx beadlocks on the JKU? How do you like them?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yes, they are budget friendly but personally i do like the Racelines more and how the threaded inserts are replaceable

[@anthonygendron4542]

How do you like those Yokahamas?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I like them. They worked well on the JKU, and for how aggressive they are they last a while.

[@RaymondDebita]

What half doors are you using on the race jeep?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Bestop core doors. I think they are now discontinued though

[@zachtuk111]

There is no quality settings?

[@jeffroberts760]

Anybody know if there is a such thing as a “kit jeep”? My dream is to build a TJ completely from parts - I imagine I have to find a decent frame and can start from there but can one buy a kit like you can some other cars?

[@semuzi1]

Looks like that rear shock looks bent

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Shouldn’t be! It might just be the GoPro fish eye lens

[@robbanks7393]

Did you like the Nittos?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

They seemed to work pretty well! Its hard to say though because they only wheeling we have done with them was KOH and i dont have any other baseline with this rig.

[@norbertflores26]

What size tires are those?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

33s but I keep ‘em clean

[@norbertflores26]

​@@JKGearandGadgets 🤣

[@bobbymulwee7641]

The CJ just needs EFI

[@krisbarnard1684]

You need to buy a tire hammer lol

[@a1racer441]

I've changed tires 2 times on beadlocks and absolutely hate it. remember jumping on one tire 6 times to get it on it is exhausting. I also used a ford f250 to remove the old tires nothing else we had was heavy enough. think my next set of wheels maybe the beadgrips from method or maybe the monsters from Hutchison just to avoid the hassle.

[@brenttblair8768]

Bro, buy a tire machine..... hahaha. I've been where you are.... hahaha....

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Haha it’s on my list! Keeping an eye for used ones at a decent price

[@gear_up_guy]

looks like poison sumac on that tree.

[@matty86suk]

I came for jeep stuff, i stayed for lulu lemon stuff....

[@g1mpster]

With all those tires to swap around, why didn’t you just buy a tire changing station with a bead breaker? Harbor Freight is pretty cheap…

[@timothyfowler8278]

Race Jeep needs 44’s lol

[@raystevens687]

I was thinking you might be better off using a little soapie water 💧 I that might make your life a little easier on mounting your tires and also maybe try it on the tire Beats I'm thinking could speed things a long faster.

[@pennsylvaniaboy87]

wish us normies could get green labels
