I was in the bicycle industry for over 35 years and I just can’t deal with expos. I’m an introvert, but I have learned that if I’m with good people I think less about the issues with being at an expo and more about the company I’m with. At least you were with good people that could help.

I love networking but hate overland dorks and about 90% of overland influencers who think they are so effing cool

Man, that’s a real bummer I’m glad you at least have the proper tools and equipment to get it jacked up and changed. I’ve only had one time in my life where I was broke and stranded so bad that I couldn’t actually fix the car on site, but I was able to limp the car to a gas station by running it without a fan/water pump/alternator belt. Tell it would overheat turn it off let it cool down and start it back up. Eventually the battery went dead, but I was able to get a jumpstart by a local Sheriff, and then I had to find a fan belt, which also ran the alternator, water pump, in the middle of night in the middle of nowhere. We ended up using some pantyhose bought from the convenient store has a temporary belt. But I’m glad you had tools and the jack and everything to get her done. The situation can be very frustrating but if you look back on it, it’s all part of the adventure.

Yeah we try not to leave unprepared, especially with the big truck since nobody else has big enough jacks for it and mine can lift everyone’s. We’ll be going through what happened on the next video..it was a pretty common mistake on beadlocks but the place that installed it should have caught the mistake. Made for good drama either way hahaha

[@thrillhunter9897]

you didnt break the power wagon you broke an aftermarket beadlock wheel . theres a reason beadlocks are illegal on the road in most states. ALWAYS use blue locktite on beadlock bolts and use a TORQUE wrench to keep from breaking them. im also guessing those arent REAL grade 8 bolts just gold colored china shit bolts from the wheel supplier.

Thanks Captain obvious lol. We trusted a reputable place to put them on for us when we were too busy to do it ourselves…unfortunately it didn’t work out regardless of the issues and may have not been their fault. This also isn’t the first time we’ve run beadlocks but appreciate the expert advice.
