- In this video I'll show you how to fix a hole in your tire with a tire patch kit. As mentioned in the previous video I don't carry a spare tire because my tires are just too big. So I have to carry the necessary tools to repair and patch a tire from the inside out. Follow along as I show you how it's done!

This is why I cleaned before buffing, as per Rubber Manufacturers Association and Michelin Tire: "Step 3 PREPARE INNER LINER SURFACE
Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with an appropriate (pre-buff) inner liner cleaner. Use a clean cloth
and/or scraper, according to repair material manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult your local repair materials
supplier for an appropriate cleaner3. This step serves to remove dirt and mold lubricants that can reduce repair unit
adhesion and contaminate buffing tools."
BleepinJeep if you push the far side bead down. It comes off a lot faster. You will see this different groove in the rim. Great videos also goes the same for reinstall

Probably the best repair video in existence. No BS, no droning on and burning up time with jaw flapping, just the info we came here for. Thank you!
Cornelius B.: No Jaw Flapping, (!?), I am Depressed.
Just cheek clapping and flapping.
Two tips from someone who does this daily. #1 remove the valve core before seating the bead. It allows more air into the tire at a time,thus making it easier. #2 mark the location of the valve stem before removing the tire. When you reinstall the tire make sure to line your mark back up with the valve stem before seating the bead. This most of the time will keep you from having to have the wheel balanced. Other than that great video!
I'd like to know who carries an air compressor and air tools out on the trails...? If you carry an air compressor off-roading you are my hero :D
If you put a boot in, it probably needs rebalancing anyway. But you are still correct. That is the right way to do it.
@@concretesailors --I carry a Small DC Compressor in All my Vehicles, if I have a Flat, I just air it up and hopefully get it to a station, if not, i just keep on airing until i get to my destination, to Old to be changing flats on side of busy roads...
@@randybeard6040 - I used to go off roading into the desert in ME each weekend. Each 4x4 used to have a compressor, folding shovel, strong and long towing belt, jump start cables etc
@@Achisachis73 Bike Pump works too.
Two good things happen from this 1st is the hole in the tire gets patched , 2nd I get a good workout. The video is great, Thank You. Knowledge is power.
I was 200 miles from home and ran something over that put a similar gash in my trailer tire. I stopped at the first place I saw, a tire chain store, to see if they would either sell me a tube or patch it so I could get home. Not only wouldn't they touch the tire, they wouldn't touch any tire on a trailer. It was a cut off pickup trailer with a 31-10.50x15 tire. Oddly enough, the piece of metal in the tire was sort of still plugging the hole a bit so I pumped the tire up to about 20 psi over max pressure and continued on till I found a drug store, they had a cheap plug kit so I bought three of them. After shoving about 16 cheap tire plugs in the hole and leaving the chunk of metal in place as well, I was able to slow the leak enough to where I made it home after again over inflating the tire to about 60 psi. It was down to about 20 psi when i got home and flat the next morning but it got me home. The next day I pulled the tire, patched the thing and stuck a tube in it. Its still on there 4 years later. I now carry a huge box of rope plugs, several patches, a bottle of glue, and two stainless steel plug tools in the tool box of the truck, and I installed an air tank underneath outboard of the frame that can hold roughly 40 gallons of 200 psi air just in case. I put an air fitting inside the fuel door. (The tank was an old propane tank I took out of a junk RV. I used the tank, and its mounting brackets. It fit nearly perfectly up under the right side of the of the bed just ahead of the rear wheel. I also carry a small 12v compressor but would go to the air in the tank first for speed of repair.
holy cow! I totally forgot carrying an tube as an old school fix. :facenapalm:
As an old jeeper, I appreciate you taking the time to show this. Alost of people will learn from it and maybe use it someday. Big thumbs up.
The forbidden sidewall patch. I’ve rolled on worse. Great vid.
Thank you for your demo, I know many people out there appreciate your time and energy! Nice job
This video scared the CRAP out of me! Though I had a dead pixel on my laptop screen (little orange dot on the lower right hand side).
I had to make a similar off road repair went I cracked the lip of my aluminum rim. My good buddy JB was there to the rescue though! I hear it's still holding up to this day. Sometimes you gotta get creative with trail repairs so it's always nice to see what you'll be in for.
I have all the stuff you mentioned just recommend me what knife shuld i use ?

Used to work at a tire shop pretty much everything legally stated is correct, but as he once stated again that is absolutely the best patch job you could do especially out on a trail because in all honestly that's EXACTLY what they would do at the shop. Legally they can't patch it but for emergency purposes this is as legit and professional as it could get. Being that employees can do their own work, I've actually done patches to my own tires on sidewalls not this big of course but actually had them last the 2 remaining years of the tire without problems. And DEFINITELY don't run low pressure in a patched tire as stated the tire will flex to much and eventually slowly peal the patch off. Good video, for the idiot's stating don't do this if your 20 miles back on an abandoned trail with a tire issue, this is the best And safest fix you could possibly do other than changing the freaking tire.
Jake Riley i
I've put plugs in my sidewall
All2skitzd I tore two tires on sledge hammer, has to patch a sidewalk by shoving 6 or more safety seal horsehair plugs to get me off the trail.
@Cimarron Peacekeeper
I had a sidewall spiked, put in 2-3 "Safety Seal" plugs in it held up for over 2 years as a spare. It sucks when you buy tires and they discontinue them and that happens. In fact I just had to plug one 2 days ago, now just a spare.
When I was a youngster back in the 40's and living in farming country, we used to patch worn tires so much that the patches showed through to the outside. ;-) Of course, in those days, wheels had inner tubes and those were hot patched.
Hahaha "Now Paula Dean just made a mess of this tire". That's why we keep coming back to watch you Matt.
Very well done..very informative.
Thanks for sharing.
You make this look so easy! Great work!
Yep that is a moerse job........ skill right there.
Growing up, in 70's 80's we booted and patched everything. I have seen huge boots put in tires, bigger than this one. Great video!
You put a good boot in it you can roll for a while
That's because in the 70's and into the 80's tires were bias ply, meaning there were no separate structures located within the tire's carcass, just the overlapping belts. Passenger car and light truck tires are now radial construction. When he says "liability purposes only" what that actually means is the tire is no longer roadworthy. He stuck that knife into the shoulder of that radial tire, meaning he cut the zipper. When tires explode on the highway, or when a truck loses a tire and sends shrapnel at passerby, that's frequently a zipper failure.
Boots how, what do you mean?
@@AtlasJotun No, sorry, bias tires were already pretty rare in the early 70's. Just like today, you could and can buy them, but few people do except for agricultural use.
@@allenwatkins4972 Wow, rare in the early 70's. Okay, I guess we're just ignoring the fact that all of the U.S. Big Three automakers were still equipping their cars with such tires, until the Japanese and Euro radial tires began eating up enough of the market that they were finally forced to catch up. But I'm sure they were rare, depending on how much you're massaging your definition of rare... And no it's not "just like today" since it wasn't illegal to run bias-ply on the road back then, whereas in many jurisdictions today, it is.
Thanks. It's the best tire patch repair on youtube.
5 stars
Great tutorial video, you clearly have a gift in terms of teaching people...Thank you for this video, I have an atv tire that I blew on the sidewall which I temporarily plugged...now im going to follow this to patch up. Cheers from Canada!
This is the RIGHT way to repair a tube less tire. I am surprised how many negative comments you got. I have used the exact same methods you describe here for years. With great success. Those tube less tire plugs/strings are crap! Only temporary at best. Great video. Thanks for posting. 👍
agreed, excellent how to video old tire or not!
As this is the "right way" you shouldn't repair a tire that has a picture in the sidewall because it can be VERY unsafe that's exactly why shops will not repair them because it's to unsafe this should ONLY be done if you are in the middle of nowhere and have no other choice
I to have been changing tires and patching them the same way for many years too but disagree with you saying that the plug/strings being useless, I’ve used them for a long time and never had anyone come back with a complaint, maybe your doing it wrong.
I, too, have been using the strings for years. I had a large hole ( 16d nail went in head first) and had to put in 3 strings to plug it. Kept it on as an experiment and went another 3K miles before I got a new set( I needed tires before the flat happened). Anyway, I didn't lose any air, so I called it a successful experiment.
I've used them with great results for things like nails and then whore out the tires, One of the first times I did it, had a slow leak and had to redo it. I hadn't reamed it good enough, thinking it,Id be better with less rubber removed. If you can pull the nail, screw, etc. out from the outside, may only need jackup and leave the fire on the vehicle. Always try to keep kit and goo string in the trunk always. Make sure to double bag in a good zip lock bags, as if dirty/dusty they might fail to seal.
when removing or replacing tire onto rim, make sure the bead of tire tha is inside the rim drops into the "well" of the rim. its the low spot of rim. it makes it much easier to get the tire on that last few inches. i hope im making sence
This video was perfect. You were so thorough, but stayed on point. Some of these other guys who post instructional videos seem like they’re auditioning for a TV show and just won’t get to the point. I was able to easily fix a bad puncture all by myself very quickly after finally finding your video. I wish you would put out instructional videos on every kind of topic and help us get more done!!! Haha thank you!!
Glad you posted this, started working at a small town tire shop. The guy that was training me was fired before he could teach me how to patch tires.
Nice job. A very hard thing to do, changing a tyre by hand. I weigh in at about 220lb. I recon you may be about half that. I grunt and groan when I change a tyre. So mate you just went to the top of my chrissy card list. Loved ya vid.
I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks, and excellent job! 👌
Really awesome video I've used 2x4 to remove the bead but the hi lift Jack is awesome.
A very well executed tutorial. Easy to follow and understand coupled with your laid back soothing personality voice. I have done many sidewall repairs, and your presentation is the best of them all . All the best to you from us students in the you tube classroom. Carry on mentor.
Great video, But just an FYI, tire shops are not putting the liquid rubber around the edge of the patch to reseal around the edge of it, they are putting liquid rubber everywhere they ground the enter sealant "sheen" as you called it off. The "sheen" you ground off is what seals the tire to keep air from seeping out through the bare rubber.
Good video. Remember to mark the valve stem on the tire for balance, couldn’t hurt. Also lube the inside lip of wheel, and inside tire bead to help remove and install. Lastly, just carry a spare inner tube. Tube for Super Swampers run about $40.
Not into four wheeling, but watched this vid for fun. It was. Learned some great tips. Fine job. Thank you.
Thank for the video. This is the only video I've seen thats given useful info for this application. Right on
wicked VID good work just as good as new get ya home no prob! and now i KNOW why i been keeping all those nail pullers for ha they are going in the JEEP!
I always carry a tire tube I buy at my local tire shop . You simply just throw it in and fill it up . I think that may be an easier idea for you to try .thanks for always posting such helpful videos . Your my go to Jeep guy
A split the size he made with the knife in a sidewall will pinch a tube almost as soon as the tyre rotates, and blow the tube. If you are going to use a tube the hole still needs to be patched to protect the tube from damage.
You're to be commended. One has to be a good worker like yourself to accomplish this task. Thanks for the video and information.
Love your disclaimer.Far more accurate than what is usually shown.
I like to see more of your videos on your channel ... Dont get me wrong I like most of the other guys , but Your videos are the reason I still subscribe to this channel ....
I hope I never have to use this on the trail but this info is great.
I'd like to know who carries an air compressor and air tools out on the trails...? If you carry an air compressor off-roading you are my hero :D
Cool man! I knew this could be done! Backed into a piece of steel roofing (thanks to my landlady's negligence) and got a 1/4" stab wound in the sidewall of a near new tire on my Bronco. My mechanic said it cant be fixed even with a tube like the old days, but I disagreed. So I decided I would patch it! Not sure if Im going to try it with being old and a bad back but I might ! You made it look pretty ez so I know it can be done Thanks!
I've plugged and patched far to many of my street driven tires that I'd like to admit but so far it has never failed or gone wrong. I've even plugged my rear radial tire on one of my old CBR F4-I (crotch rocket) in a pinch before.
I rode a Honda Shadow on a plugged tire 'till the tread was gone. Even the people that sell plugs and use plugs claim they are a temporary fix but I've never had a problem after plugging a tire. A plugged tire is fixed.
You had me at "Paula Deen just made a mess of this tire."
wow i am impressed that's a pretty tough job to do on your own especially for a small dude like yourself..... no pun intended lol
nick diaz fr where tf is the pun in that
Great video! I was glad you didn't have an accident with either of the three pry bars you were using. When new, they're extremely sharp! I gashed myself with one once and am wary of them now. Tire bars would be a great investment for tire repairs.
Yep I've had that experience with a new pry bar. Lesson learnt.
Had a set of those BFG on my F150. Loved them
Done similar many times. I carry bailing wire, plugs, patches and, my favorite, plug patches. In my opinion the plug patches are the greatest thing invented for standard punctures. I've had to sew plugs into large gashes with bailing wire and was able to get the 20 miles back. Maybe you could do a video on the fine art of using bailing wire plugs and patches on one large gash for your next video
Wow!!!... great 👍, but it’s not an easy task especially with huge size of tires.
Im deadass put the bead side and patch on it, thank god this channel pop out, really help me here..
I just had a sidewall cut on a new Falken Wildpeak. So now it becomes my spare. Mucho thanks for this.
putting back the tire to the rim get you some sweat! lol, you should use that RACING JACK to pinned down to the floor lol! overall good class !!
man so many people decided not to hear, that off road comment, liability comment, some people confused on balance lol. suddenly everyone's an expert. it holds air guys that was the goal, it only has to be vuagely round at that point it its never going to see more then 12mph if you wanna carry 3spares go ahead. if you have no dedicated off road vehicle fine. people even claiming retreads and vulcanized rubber don't exist. very sad..... only think I have to add it that went on and off a lot easier then most anything I've got to work on with a 50s tire machine. it can be so much more trouble then that particular tire, stiff sidewalls are a pain, but wouldn't wanna live without em
Saya 1 lol I am an expert. Certified and all. And for a trail fix, id say go for it. Matt did say it's just to get you off the trail and I second that. Get it replaced so you can safely run low psi in the future. There's nothing fun about blowing the tire and bending a rim on a rock when there is no air to dampen the blow
Saya 1
Good job attempting it yourself but... That's a radial tire. So you need a radial patch. You put in a bias-ply patch. this will fail. The radial patch has radial Plies built into it so it can work with the tire. A bias ply tire Has Criss Cross Plies in the sidewall. that's the reason for the criss cross patch. Also you put ( after peeling the backing off the patch) your dirty fingers all over the back of the patch. You have to hold the patch with the backing still on it or peel one half put it back and peel the other half Look up A&B compound. This is used to fill the slice. Rubber cement will never seal a slice. All I can say for your mounting the second bead of the tire is a monkey banging a football. You put this on CZcams for everybody to see as well. if that Tire fails... And somebody is injured... Expect to be visited. A good retread shop will fix that tire for you. But a tire repair and replace facility will tell you it is junk.
+jon rheaume if it fails at under 8mph as dramatically as you suggest then there shouldtve been someone under the tire once it failed. I think your missing the off road statements he made, if anyone tries this on road use or above "off road speeds" he is free from any liability concerns. I believe he said he doesn't particularly recommend it but is showing us how, if I remember that rightly then he's even more covered for liability. if you read the description for any/every video he makes, he's again covered for liability. so unless somebody's requesting his presence as an outside expert in jeep related stuff in a court he ain't gonna be getting any calls. and remember his credential are for a photographer he is a self made business the chances any want his in court as an expert would probably be looking at factory trained techs. lol
+sisco lol alright do what ya like. but for under 10mph and maybe 20psi I'll risk a leaky tire and "my life" in case it hisses or whatever ya think its liable to do. I haven't a clue how a slow leak could kill me, but I'll just keep an eye out. watch your ankles for snakes on the trail walking home and never repair anything ever again if you want to worry about minimal risks. some risks do need to be calculated
classic text-book tyre repair procedure... well-done!!
Awesome brother you're the Man. My Father would be proud of you
TIP: Ask any tireman from Mexico. I've never brought a tire to local llantos barratos tire shop that they couldn't fix! BUT when you go to "Discount tire" the "Tire-man"(if you want to call him that) has to run off to a "Safe Space" to recover from the horrible scene that you exposed him to after showing him your flat with a gash in it.
Wut?
Huh? Ask tire any shop fix the huh tire while tire dry say hole Some body say ho...... Hooooooooo. U don't sense make. Mexico. Tire guy. Huh. Eat huh what
Discount Tire is indeed worthless. I have tried to get tires rotated there. "Oh we can't rotate those they are too worn. But we can sell you a new set right over here!" Got that B.S. twice and never went back. I'd just take it to a different shop and they'd rotate w/o a problem. And the tires were fine with enough tread for another 40K miles.
With corporate stores like discount and les schwab the junior employees and customers are victims of the game of telephone. First the regional corporate office informs the branch managers of policy change, then the managers have to communicate those policies to senior and junior staff. But they choose to do it in two different ways. First the senior staff usually gets the "straight from the horses mouth" version and second, the junior staff is told a conservative version. This is because junior staff are prone to mistakes so in place of experience they are taught to be more cautious than they should be to keep the store from accruing lawsuits. Always talk to a manager because they are guaranteed to have at least five to ten years of experience and have a firm grasp on policy and technique. Not to mention, if anyone is going to choose to break the rules and do it properly, it will be a store manager.
In the most likely situation, your tires were badly weathered and cracked, and one of their policies is a very generic "if the components appear to be in a state of disrepair, employees aren't allowed to touch the vehicle" because of the corporation's stance on a guarantee of quality. If the store can't guarantee that their work will last then the work will not be done. And in this case of free labor, if the tires WERE deemed unsafe after a junior staffer removed the wheels, a manager doing his job correctly would be forced to comp the customer a tire for every wheel taken off ONLY so that the store could guarantee the work was done right. I hope this helps understanding why corporate and private tires shops operate so differently.
@@tactical-bucket Gees, tires are such a brutal biz. Town Fair Tire is a biggie up here in New England b/c they give every car a free shitty 2-wheel wheel alignment that will make your car wander like crazy on the highway. From the moment you walk in they try to sway you to what they want you to buy, then they try to trick you by saying "do you want the 4 wheel alignment" (which they say under their breathe and charge a lot for), then when you question the higher bill, they say you asked for the 4 wheel alignment and they act mad when you say you wanted the free alignment. They make it such an imposition that they need to find a manager to correct. Even so, they never seem to zero-out the alignment (front or back) when you do pay for the 4-wheel alignment AND they nickle and dime you for the disposal, valves and added bs fees. They are criminals... plain and simple. I pity any unsuspecting person just walking in there who knows none of this, and of course there's no useful governmental recourse for this.
nice job, Thank you for showing your talents.
Great video, it's like a huge heavy bike tire in my mind now, thanks!
I like the video and I like that Patron people get it first ,,,Screw CZcams
A lot of work it looks like. I carry lots of plugs. Plug it up with many plugs and lots of rubber cement
Really appreciate you going to the trouble to show us how to make this repair. Looked like it you had a pretty good work out.
Thank you so much for a great video, hard working and excellent job. Good luck and God bless
This guy doesn't carry a spare tire, but he does carry a bunch of crowbars, soap, a buffing tool, an air compressor and everything else he needs for a tire repair. Well done!
For a emergency repair it will work
You are correct . I have done it and it does work!
Had BF Goodrich on my Scout for YEARS.. they wore wonderfully... GREATBJOB
Awesome video and admire your use of dish soap and jack to break the rim from tire !.
Try Shoe Goo and motorcycle inner tube . Light the Shoe Goo which gets everything all nice and warmed up - blow out the flame and place inner tube patch with Shoe Goo on the rip + plus pressure for at least 3 minutes .
Great video Bleepin Jeep and Thanks !
When your remounting the tire, use a pair of vise grips on the rim. It'll keep the bead from popping back over the rim as you work it around
And if you've got alloy rims...take it to a shop
Good one
Or use rubber plated c-clamps. That’s what I use.
@@kirkc9643 yup there's plenty of shops out on the trail
i remember a day when you could re-grove and patch side walls.think it was up too 1/4 inch stuff rubber in there and use a special c type heated clamp melt the rubber in then patch the inside.
That was with biased tires. Radial tires have much thinner sidewalls. It gives you a smoother ride. Not supposed to patch sidewalls on radials. Those vulcanizing patches you mentioned aren't made anymore. Something to do with hazardous materials. They are the best patches ever.
I got the same shoes dude. Kudos to my new favorite guy. Rock on.
Nice!
Dang! This is a great tutorial, thanks. Just came back from the tire shop where they scratched their heads at my 34" mudder with a tiny puncture.
Like everything else with wheelin' I just gotta do it myself 🤔
Make your life easier buy OTC grip tire spoons instead of those pry bars. Plus more lube the better, lube is cheap. Good Video!!
Proper spoons definitely make this a lot easier.
Just want to point out not all lube is cheap. Shit cost me 35 bucks for a medium bottle at the adult book store
Thank you I have a very similar repair to make on a brand new GY Wrangler tire when the landlords loose roof tin blow off and punctured my tire. I had it dismounted so just need to repair and mount. I really want to be able to do this in an emergency thanks so much, I really like the way you handled it!
Nice job. I learned lots. Thank you.
Shoulda marked the sidewall and wheel so you can put the tire in the same place. Then it would still be balanced correctly.
MusTang Nick who has balanced tyres going offroad ? Offroad tyres don't need it !
its still best practice as you may not ad/subtract too much material and in a lot places people use those tyres on road as their daily
I try to do the same, mark the tire, etc. but....that patch changes the balance of the tire.
Jack ass
It doesn't matter, that patch is going to throw off the balance anyways.
If you find yourself doing this too often, get a new girlfriend.
If she's doing that while she's your girlfriend, it's guaranteed she'll keep doing it when she's your ex.
@@russlehman2070 facts! But at least then you can get a restraining order! 👍😆
🤣🤣🤣
Or a new wife?
Get her AAA 😄😄
@@darrelldaniels9436 he means if your gf keeps slashing your tires
That was a lot of work and sacrifice of a good tire for a tutorial but very well done and informative! Thx!
Good advice, no low tire pressure on side walls after side wall repair. Thanks
It just hurt me to see you do that to that Nice tire 😂👍
I had a gash in my tire before. 7 plugs later, it held air and lasted the rest of the life of the tire.
Thank you for this video. I had to get a hole patched where a nail went through on the side. So far so good..although I will be getting a new tire for safety purposes!
Matt your awesome man, thanks for the years and years of fun and education!
Excellent video. The only thing that i would add to this 'trail fix' is perhaps seating the bead with starting fluid. We off-roaders like to run wide tires and they don't always want to seat with just an air chuck. I know it's not always recommended but neither is hammering a butcher knife into a sidewall. Lol
if you attempt this don't forget that it's a mix of air and flammable that does the trick. Spraying half a can of ether in there won't work any better (probably worse) then just one quick spray around the rim. If it fails to seat the bead you need to get new air into the tire before trying again (the old air no longer has much oxygen in it, as you consumed it with the last burn)
If your using something that doesn't evaporate super fast you need to give it time. I've done it with gasoline before but it takes a few minutes for it to evaporate
@@animefreak5757 , even easier is to carry a small 3 litre Gaither bead booster, a lot safer, and will do the job easier than messing with flammable sources, plus a bead booster doesnt burn out your costly tyre!
Some chick who didn't even know me slashed 🔪 mine I used super glue it lasted the life of the tire..
What brand glue
what the fuck how😂 send me the link to that glue
nah
helpful information bro, thank you for sharing !!
Great vid. Thanks for your time making these.
Got his "safety squints" on 🤣
Glad you clarified that this is only an emergency fix
Good job. That's HARD WORK!
They say if you close your eyes and just listen, you can actually hear Mr. Rodgers teaching you how to patch a tire....... Loved it great for a get you out of a bad situation repair!
Plugged a sidewall on my k1500, lasted for over 4 years, and even was good for highway speeds 80+
Chris Cooney have to agree, iv done that to, iv also put 5,000 miles on my dry Rotted 10 year old spare donut at highway speeds
I had a hole like that in some 35s the tire guy melted it a little added some ground up rubber patched it and it lasted tell I sold the truck and it was my dd
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing
I am extremely happy with your video. You really showed to all very good things. I am from Indian tamilnadu namakkal....
A trick I use when doing it alone is to use a couple large vise grips to hold the bead so I don’t have to hold two crow bars and work with the third.
I once plugged an ATV tire with a piece of my jeans and caulk
I consistently plug holes with my caulk and bulbs.
Carson Charbonneau because it’s all we had at the time
Carson Charbonneau that’s where the caulk comes in.
Unzip jeans, pull out caulk, spit, plug.
😉👌
Should have know it would go there, yes boys it’s all about the caulk.. caulk caulk caulk
This is great info! One thing I think would help some is showing how to mount tire with starting fluid and a flame, just incase compressed air isn't available. But great trail repair.
You must have better luck than me. I use lighter fluid or acytline gas and still have to use my aircompesor with a busrt can. (Small high pressure air tank)
Great video! Very informative! We usually just use plugs on the trail. Do you know how this works on UTV tires?
Do you guys ever try cold vulcanizing tires? We use the kit that Busted Knuckle used to sell. I know it's not a quick trail fix but it works great. That's what we use to repair tires when we have flats. It takes approximately 24 hours to after the job but we have never re-punctured a repaired hole.
Careful around the patch... Jumps on tire...
Now set the bead... Kicks the tire...
...are you sure you don't work at my local tire shop??
All of the Discount Tire guys are cringing right now. I feel
Its Kiba994 I work there and J E S U S he tore that tire up. He grinded that waaaaay to much.
I work there, he way over did it, but in a pinch it’ll get you a mile or 2
Lol true..
Bro for real
I’m just shouting no good in my head.
In side wall and it’s way to long
Awesome job breakin the tire down very professional like without ideal tools altho prob more then average person would have on hand either way my hats off to ya friend
You made that look EASY.
Respect.
Bleeping jeep are you a AVE fan? Safety squint is one of his little sayings
I've been known to watch an AVE video now and again
BleepinJeep Well keep your winch in a vice and keep on jeeping !
I was gonna make a comment about this. Do a teardown of different winches if funds support it?
"Focus you fuck!" Lol AvE for life haha
To be fair though you had your safety mcglarses on, extra protection over the standard safety squints! 😁
You've convinced me to never do it myself. Get a spare, change it out. Go to shop, get new one.
New use for the three flat bars I've got, misplace one buy another & eventually you have 3 or more lol. This is how they did it in the old days, Grandpa had 3 stations in the 50s & 60s, in Mexico they still do this, now I know why those guys have a long pry bar, they can change & repair a tire pretty fast. Great video & yes a life saver or you could save someone else out on the trail or down the road. Good skill to know thanks.
Great Video, Thank You
