I never thought that I will enjoy watching someone changing a tire but you guys even when you change a tire you change it with a style 😃

[@skytiger6671]

I dreamed about impacts that powerful 20 years ago while i was jumping on 4 foot breaker bars.

[@mossyshotgun5902]

No shit.

[@badgerpa9]

Good idea using the ramp as a back up with the jack to support the trailer. Good thinkin Kevin. You will get a lot of suggestions, so a nice heavy bottle jack will be good to carry and a couple wood lifts are great. Get a 2 x 10 cut 3 lengths 12 inches, 18 inches and 2 foot, stack with glue screws, you can use as a block also great to run one axle up on to help work on the other axle. They stack together I used to try to keep 4 with me and it came in handy often. Love little short legged puppy, Jelly is cute.

[@vinny143]

Make a set of 2 by 8 wooden ramps to drive the front axle up on to lift the back axle off the ground ,keep them with you at all times

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

They make those already out of metal and not to heavy....i keep one in my horse trailer at all times....they make a flat tire chg in half the time....my chalk/ramp is designed to work with either a flat on frt or rear....that trailer had allot of weight on it !!!

[@brianbaca2074]

you can use your spare if you have to but you have to keep moving the rig

[@Juve]

I was thinking the same thing lol.. I was like why are you unloading.....raise up one axle and let the rear hang....lol

[@hunt6811]

Yep that’s exactly what I do if I have a flat with my 5th wheel plus I don’t have really any blowouts now that I switched from trailer tires to regular tires

[@robertmarez3195]

Great video showing what your adding to the Foster child, awesome factor 55 help.....great that you 2 didn't get hurt and nothing happened with the blow out...1 more rep Kevin 💪.......milestar coming n clutch.... Egarly awaiting the next video.......Safe travels

[@Al-tl2ov]

A great addition to towing tool collection is the Trailer-Aid Jack Stand, thanks for sharing.

[@jonhaley815]

I would recommend the tire minder system for the trailer. It give air pressure and temp.

[@bradshutler9356]

The wonderful world of trucks and transport trailers.

[@6howiesadventures832]

Carry a 4x4 block and drive the other axle up on it to elevate the other.

[@michaelhalstead64]

I LOVE the factor 55 guys!!! Dope. Love it.

[@bryankerr69]

Great video. I almost shot my beer out my nose at the end with Jelly. LOL. If you haven't guessed, I'm a new subscriber. Loving your videos.

[@chrisperry5652]

The bag can also be used as a safety blanket for the winch cable/rope.. That is a KOOL upgrade for the Glad!!!

[@markcargile9123]

I don’t have a Jeep or any other vehicle worthy of it, but y’all have me wanting a Factor 55 recovery kit now! LOL you had me at “made in America”!

[@snowmeowoutdoors802]

Well unlike them you'll have to pay and not get everything for free.

[@markcargile9123]

And I’m ok with that.

[@FitChaser]

Kev’s bestop jacket is awesome and provides a layer of reflective safety!

[@jeepdogjl8687]

When I got my CDL a long time ago, part of the test was parallel parking a semi.

[@MrMe1280]

Still part of the test here in Indiana. I'm glad it is to. I've had to do it a couple times over the years

[@woodstk70]

And get a Rapid Jack. You put it in front or back of the unaffected tandem tire and pull forward or reverse and it will raise the other tire. It's basically a curved wedge.

[@lonniet.2816]

Great job Kevin! very nice Factor 55 kit.. Jelly getting the bunny rabbits!! Love it!!

[@pennypackmtb2542]

"Always worried when Kevin has an idea". But he sure had a bunch at the end. Keep pumpin them tires Kevin, your muscles will inflate soon. Never known anyone so positive and happy that they had a flat tire on a nice day. BTW my idea of a good recovery system is beer. Just saying. You guys are the best.

[@quantumsmith2860]

Yes watched it..........he figured it out..........yes it is ok to raise trailer with dovetail.......probably a good idea to unload the jeep(s) first.......good work Kev! and yes you need a dually!!!

[@Thundercat68]

Making changing a tire look fun 👍🏻. You guys rock!

[@cjrutter9962]

Went to Boise late last year and had the awesome Justin come in on a day off when Factor 55 was closed to help us out with some new recovery gear for our Wrangler! Can't thank him enough!

[@scottharding8042]

YIKES! Wire and rubber all hanging and dangling out like that just can't be good! Stay safe you two !

[@DirtbagsMTB]

Sweet gear! If I had a vehicle capable of offloading that could come in super handy! What a glorious beard on that dude!

[@captdunnawayify]

Well tires will do that .. was nice to meet you two at jeep bash. Currently building a JTR launch for the trip this year

[@tfrye008]

Just back from Boise seeing family. One of our favorite places ever!!

[@jasonw4533]

I found you guys changing your trailer tire super entertaining

[@jake-mv5oi]

I miss the old litebrite channel that had wheeling videos.

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

Don't worry, there will be wheeling videos again, but they have a limited time window to get the FosterChild ready for the Alaska trip.

[@LiteBrite]

We’re getting a Jeep ready for a month long overlanding trip to Alaska. The Jeep won’t build itself

[@jeeb4x4]

@@LiteBrite You doing a superb job doing updates on the channel, while You are on the road! The best of luck making the Foster Child ready! You are awesome people! Take care of yourself, and Kevin; hold on to your fitness-plan!!

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

this is so much more than a wheeling channel only. Good news is you can follow or unfollow and let the rest of us enjoy whatever content we get from LiteBrite!

[@genebalinski645]

Please be careful heading in to Seattle. You are going in to the epicenter of the COV-19 thing. You do not want to get sick or become a symptom-less carrier. Remember, you can pass it to Jelly as well. Once you get the new trailer tires and service the 8+ year old bearings, consider diverting and hunkering down for a while maybe back in Utah. You can use the time to catch up on all of the maintenance for the Step Child. Love the Factor 55 gear. We will be purchasing a kit once we get our Jeep. Hey, wasn't he the guy that grabbed you all at one of the Jeep events to demo the recovery packs ?

[@roynorman513]

dually dodge 3500 are awesome! Father inlaw had a 2005 red one (big red) with manual transmission and a HEMI.

[@michaelrizzo5492]

Dual climate is a must especially for long distance

[@overtheclouds9]

God I love this channel, Jeeps, off-roading and travel, big trucks, awesome dogs and is there anything hotter than Brittany? Oh wait!! The free Jeep would be. Lol

[@scotthine1802]

Need to add a bottle jack to your trailer equipment so you don’t have to unload to change tires.

[@kevinAuman1]

Ughhh, that thumbnail tho 😳🤤 Kev is one very lucky guy!

[@bigtime6837]

Kevin just a tip if you took some 2x4 boards and put one on each side of the front tires you wouldn’t have to jockey back and forth when load the stepchild and my Gladiator. They would always be in the same spot.

[@markcargile9123]

Roam Adventure Co....? That’s going to be a nice rooftop tent for the Gladiator!

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

Two most exciting phrases...."ive got a good idea" and "watch this"....lol....great video you guys....!!!

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

I watched this video earlier yesterday and then around 11:15 am I get a message and photos of you taking pictures with my cousins(Jason & Tara) in Seattle and you signed their Power Wagon dashboard.. So cool and now I am officially jealous. So now I have to hunt you down and get you guys to sign my dashboard too.

[@LiteBrite]

😁🤙 Heck Yeah!!!

[@robertwayman7974]

Good job. Your on the right track to get to the old dumb and human place in life. I can really use some competition !

[@JLURBilletSilverMetallic]

Jelly belly !!! The Fast FID from factor 55 is totally invaluable item ... Milestar has developed into a great company. .. be safe !

[@bendmacmanufacturing2744]

Good morning guys and Jelly, your videos always make my day !!!!! Jon

[@woodstk70]

I can't believe you were in the Northwest. Next time your up here you really need to set up a meet and greet in Eastern Washington.

[@edwardpoff575]

I can’t wait for y’all to come to Alabama and bring me the foster kid! That thing is going to be fun wheeling!

[@Ozcreepycrawly]

Love litebritenation.. from Australia..brilliant channel!

[@eldridgesmart5516]

Thanks for the video 👍🏾👍🏾. Awesome recovery kits from an amazing company. I'm looking forward to purchasing & using that recovery gear.

[@joss67uk]

I don't off road and I live in a big city but I feel I *NEED* the Factor 55 Ultimate Recovery Bag lol sweet bit of kit. Additional, that trailer tyre reminds me of my first car in the 80s when i had 4 tyres like that, *adulting is hard* LOL

[@crushthechevy]

I'm one of the people that would not recommend a dually. Yes on road it would add stability but off road diallys suck you can't air down cause the side walls will eat each other and if you pick up a rock between the duals and not realize it your now destroying a side wall on each tire. So if ya get a fat assed dually ya should get super singles just in case ya ever gotta use the truck to recover the jeep

[@pauljohnson7382]

It's easy to see when someone tried to take a dually through a drive-thru and shouldn't have😊

[@coreysaxe3902]

Get a TPMS system for your trailer for early warning of a problem. Might not have helped this time, but it is great peace of mind for the future.

[@Topshelf748]

Kev you know if you use a crowbar underneath spare tire you can use leverage so you don’t need to put your legs underneath wheel when putting on spare.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Under inflation is more an issue than tire age. Also never put retreads on your vehicle. You pay more for new virgin rubber but its worth it. Invest in equalizer valves for your dual tires. Such as Cateye brand. Your tires will wear even then. You can find them at most truck stops or semi truck dealerships. Just a heads up.

[@joshleal9811]

Have a impact gun is a game changer. Glad you guys get one.. solo 👍🤘

[@Daveinet]

Final tightening of the lug bolts should only be done manually or with a torque wrench. I have the Dewalt impact driver for my motorhome. I made the mistake of tightening the lugs with the impact. I could not remove the lugs next time. I had to buy a 3:1 torque multiplier. Then had to use a 4ft pipe on the breaker bar. I was just barely able to get the lugs off. You can snug the bolts up with the impact, but final tightening should always be down by hand.

[@chadbrehm-steiner3652]

💥 Earthquake!!! Good old Harbor Freight!!! 👍

[@Seb_Semos]

Oh crap, I also had to change a tyre this last days. Was easier and tyre has been fixed, but perfect weather and place to work, just like you. Almost make me wanted to change all of them :p

[@BackroadExploration]

Looking forward to the Alaska adventure! It’s going to be amazing!

[@Zyprus]

I admire the hell out of you guys for your life style, also would hope to do some jeep off roading with you some time but i live in ohio so we dont have that here.. boring ass state... But im a huge fan of you guys and loved Britt in hyper drive so best wishes to both of you and keep making your dreams come true!!!

[@scottzarkos3466]

:55 lol kev flexin on em. you two are great. keep up the good vids.

[@blackrooster48]

You'll are awesome to watch , funny and very informative. Keep the videos coming . Wish I would of gone to meet you'll when you'll came to New Braunfels, Tx and met up with NBTT6.

[@wiccanfpv]

Another trick i have learned is if you will put a small drop of airtool oil between the ring and your locknut it will keep them from wearing out and ring coming off

[@silvertip9358]

Let’s talk reality, you’re going to one of the worst areas for COVD 19? I was looking forward to meeting you guys at EJS in Moab. They’ve canceled the vendor show and all activities except the trail rides. 😢 I hear today the government is considering eliminating or reducing interstate travel in two weeks. 😫 really!!! Have you thought about what it would be like to quarantine in your tent for two weeks. We may think I’m healthy and young. If we help spread the virus to the groups that are the most likely to effect or harm, I sure don’t want you guys being the Rudy Gobert of the jeeping world. Please stay safe and responsible. I love you guys.

[@kylefoster8187]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Kevin 😂

[@leonthompson1272]

Kevin, you look like you're holdin your breath while liftin that tire and wheel. ☝️No no no. Gotta breathe.

[@speed127]

YA Milestar!!!! Because of you guys picked up a set of the new Milestar X/T tires.

[@bilymac2321]

The ultimate off-road recovery tow store.

[@eldiablobiker]

Build a ramp from 2x8 boards. You put it in front or behind the good wheels and then drive forward/back onto the ramp. The axle with good tires lifts the trailer axle with bad tire as you drive on the ramp. Keep the ramp in the under bed box with your straps. A piece of 2” ratchet strap and some screws with fender washers makes a nice handle. Btw. Just put my first set of Patagonia’s on my wife’s Jeep this week and loving them. Hoping to win a set for my Jeep

[@calvinh.8882]

Y'all need a 20-ton bottle jack and a wood block, (2x8) to set it on in case you need to change a trailer tire in the grass/dirt.

[@trjnsd6874]

Another fun and informative video! Do all you friends have an excess of personality, just like y’all? Thanks for the Factor55 kit I got through E3 Association last time - great quality! How did you manage to arrange to arrive in Seattle at the height of the Zombie Apocalypse ?! Kevin, so THATS how you got those nice shoulders! LiteBriteNationBlowsOutTires!

[@ThunderCat19D]

Lol so Kevin sounds like a trucker from Kentucky driving a peterbilt down the grapevine ?

[@CowboysCarnival]

Y'all should get a Ram 4500 with a custom sleeper. Dream Inspired had a really nice one when he used to hot shot.

[@gamesofcontent]

Were your tires rubbing? On duallys the inside tire can rub the outside side, side wall to side wall if they are low on tire pressure, or over loaded.

[@cjnut]

Hah,hah,hah.. evil man laugh when you have another great idea... it'll be fine Brit.. trust me, I know what I'm doing. Btw totally love the winch bag mmmm

[@HOBrian2003]

Kevin, I always believe in your ideas!! Lol. Next time, drive the front set of wheels up on something.

[@DT7967]

Watch outback truckers on Netflix. U will see some serious road conditions and a lot of blown tires and really fun conditions to change them!

[@Davi.b]

[@4x4rcman]

quicker easier way to get the tires in the air for the trailer is to get a 4x4 block of wood and drive the front set of tires over it and park on top. now the rear tires should be the perfect amount off the ground.

[@OldGriz708]

Are you guys altering any travel plans with the whole Corona virus thing going on? Seattle is one of last placed I would want to travel to right now.
