Dirt Daily. Mounting MOPAR Beadlocks and Missing Mr. Sound-Ben

- Beadlocks hold your tires to your wheels when running low air pressure off road. This allows the tires to flatten out and get more opportunity for traction. Today I'm mounting a set of Mopar Jeep Beadlocks.
Do you like these longer episodes? Or do you want shorter versions?
The beadlock wheels (77072585AA) can be ordered over the counter at a Jeep dealership
or at
store.mopar.co...
The beadlock ring (77072599AA) for Falken tires
The beadlock ring (77072586AA) for BFG tires
I laughed, I cried, I drank coffee. If you only see one Fred Williams show this year, this will probably be the longest.
HAHAHAHA I was thinking the same thing
Being your own video production team on top of the talent must be a heck of a challenge. You’re doing a great job man and still putting out great content even with the adversity. Thanks for the tenacity and continued great content. Be well Fred.
I still like the ending with baxter, even without sound. Great video and keep up the awesome work Fred!
Love watching you and Dave with your new endeavors on the You Tubes, thank you. Keep it up Fred, I appreciate it.
Always happy to see you still posting videos and gotta enjoy the randomness and stories
In the future... just voice over, I could careless where the info is coming from as long as it's from you and all the solid points are there! Keep up the good work!
Jeeps are my drug of choice and, speaking for me only, I'd rather binge on 20 minute episodes more frequently than wait for a 40 minute one infrequently. That and I'd really hate for you to burn out from long episodes and find another gig. Thanks for hanging in and providing great content. Crack On.
^^^^ This !!^^^^
Unfortunately everybody has a different opinion on video length. I hear a lot of people don’t like the short videos. Others love them. As long as Fred’s making some sort of content I’m pretty happy.
The best thing to do with anti seize is to put a little bit on your fingers, then rub it on your face, tool box, and refrigerator door. Now that you have the inevitable out of the way, you can concentrate on the work. 😊
So true!
No kidding, a little dab will do ya, and it still gets everywhere
Way too true man..,don’t forget every single piece of clothing you’ve got on and half the towels in a 25’ vicinity.
One thing that doing a show for a while did is let your patience shine! Most of us go bonkers when we have to redo stuff. You doing things with multiple takes and many times, let’s patience shine, and persistence get things done. Well, at least the parts we see on camera. :) I’m enjoying your daily things. I think you’re doing well, and yes, the editing and camera work keeps improving. Cheers!
What is so cool is that THIS was your S1E1 - FIRST VIDEO with that other channel.
You broke that down to where anybody should understand it. Good show.
I tell the new guys at work anti seize is the gift you give your future self
I love this guys videos! He's probably a awesome guy to hang out with too! Thanks
All you episodes are award winning👊🏻👊🏻
I’m using The Wild Peak M&T tires also. Phenomenal traction and working very well overall.
"Wanted to try little tires" while running 37's... Thats how you know your are watching great content!!!
Drinking coffee, enjoying time with Fred on Saturday morning BEFORE working on my YJ
Watching Fred and these cool new wheels before I fire up the squarebody, get the trailer, load up the busted Comanche, and haul it to the shop.
nice thorough demonstration of a bead lock setup. I see so many people never using a torque wrench. Even engine builders and when I learned auto mechanics they beat it into you to use torque wrenches to verify proper torque and the use of proper lube or sealants.
Glad the videos are still coming! Also, I like the hat, we need some 4Xfred Sasquatch merch!

Cool episode. Lotta info there
I learned, I was entertained, I laughed. Your accident became a feature with Sound Ben. Backstage DED.
My only critsism, "I think" you missed explaining the steps of the inner wheel diameter. My understanding is wheels only go into a tire one way and the smallest wheel diameter allows the tire bead to stretch over the wheel bead in a oval. I ruined a 35" BFG as a young man not knowing this. Something to keep in mind for a future video?
Thank you Fred!
Most tire installers don’t even know about the dot on the tire.
You line it up with the valve stem so the tire will balance out better.
That's not true at all as a tire installer I have proved this false many times and even tried it that way just to see if it actually makes a difference it doesn't the weight just moves to the lightest spot on the rim/tire regardless of where the mark is and doesn't change. To further disprove this I have mounted a tire with the yellow or red dot nowhere near the valve stem and the tire has balanced out needing zero ounces of weight. Most people want it by the valve stem because it looks better.
Thanks so much Fred there aren't any good vids on CZcams for these wheels yet!
Great video Fred Thanks for sharing 👍lots of great advice on mounting Tires .
I would say a good 95% of the time I can get a wheel started in a tire with no spoons or levers. Soap it up and jam it in there at an angle like you mean it. No scratches that way. Great looking set of wheels Fred. Never seen the Mopar wheels before.
Ever consider a second microphone hooked up to a second storage device? Then if the microphone hooked up to your camera quits recording you'd have the equivalent of a spare tire to save your video
Just mounted up Raceline beadlocks.
Always enjoy your videos short or long. Thanks for taking the time to keep recording, editing, posting. Hope you also create a merch site sometime.
Hey Fred! Love these videos! thanks for keepin them going!
Great Job Fred keep the vids coming man!
Good timing! I've got a set of wheels that need valve stems installed. I've never done it before but have the stems and tool. Looks pretty simple.
You are doing a great job and to think with all these new things you have to learn you are still beautiful. Keep that money maker happy GQ has to be watching 👀
If you lay the rim on the ground you can push the tire on without using the spoons.
I came to say the same
When ever using those valve stem tool I use a block of wood or rag so the wheel don’t get scratched.
Cheers for this content. I've fitted many a tyre/beadlock package, however I still enjoyed this and picked up a little trick from it. The little yellow dot part. However I'm in Tasmania and I've not noticed that dot on any of my tyres here. I'll be sure to look though. I also run my bolts down with a little Ugga Dugga, or "baby Dugga" as I call it haha. Speeds things up a lot when you have a billion bolts to run down.
Thanks again. Love the show.
I've been doing tires professionally for years and I've never been told to put the yellow dot by the valve stem. I honestly don't know what purpose it serves I've tried it before thinking it has something to do when you balance the tire but it makes absolutely no difference so I honestly think it has something to do when the tire is constructed and not intended as a installation indicator. The same goes for the red dots that you sometimes see on tires as well.
Great video Fred!
Thanks Fred 😀
Thanks for show the whole process and not editing parts out.
Cool video! More Baxter and the Jeep
Fred
Bring the new sock up to Elbe Wa. for our annual stag run in November…
My 2020 Gladiator was able to use wheels taken off a 2016 JK and the sensors work just fine.
Good morning Fred from Marshville, NC.
I've been running a $40 set of TPMs from Amazon in my '09 Ram for 2 years with no issues.
You show, that you are using Falken tires, in your video. On the 4WH magazine site, Falken is listed as a sponsor of the 2022 4WH Overland Adventure - Oct 10, S Cal. (I assume it just concluded). Your presentations are very informative, detailed & organized. Combined with what you spoke about; wheel, tire, & beadlock, I would have appreciated it if you also mentioned your preference and or options for tires, re various use or conditions. Maybe you can do that in a forthcoming presentation. And also, more discussion of potential tire size for various vehicles & driving conditions.
I keep from cross threading by:
hold the bolt parallel to the hole against it (like you would normally thread in) with light pressure.
Then spin the bolt left (I know lefty loosey) until it clicks and drops.
Then you know the bolt and hole, are perfectly aligned at the beginning of the thread.
Then righty tighty, goes in without crossthreading.
That's how I've always done it .
@4xFredWilliams Another great video with useful info!!! I enjoy long videos!!!!!
Fuzzy teddy bear poof stick thing... Good one Fred.
hi, great video, good to see a longer format once in a while, i was wondering what was of some of the DED proyect trucks? what was of pond scum or the golf ball armada, or the monster ranchota, or the challenge jeep for the roadkill garage race that didn't get finnished
Next would be double beadlocks like the Humvee wheels with PVC insert and o ring.
Fred I understand that there are only a couple of states that don't let you run bead locks on the street, but most states don't care. It sounds like DOT doesn't care. This info. I read about last year so maybe the laws have changed but I doubt it. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.
Fred, I predict in the near future you’ll be on that stage accepting your Oscar. With Baxter.
My ship finally came in and….. there was no sound! Good video Fred! Maybe you could do a video on getting old tires off the wheels! Call it the Hernia Video.
Wishing you well, Fred, keep up the good work! Maybe a tip: Trademark the "I call it “Soapy Water”…there is a YT Channeler who does DIY videos and he has a heavy Pennsylvania or Boston-ish accent and when he says “Water” on Video it sounds like “Wharter”. So apparently folks would write to him and ask, “Where can I buy the product “Wharter”. So he started to show it in his videos that way (Just as a joke, no doubt). “Soapee Wharter™” is probably available to Trademark™? -Steve from SWWA
You keep those bolts because you were raised on a farm.
@4xFredWilliams
I didn’t see you put any kind of sealant or o-ring between the wheel face and the beadlock ring. Does this wheel not use some form of gasket to seal the mating surface?
I honestly thought my phone speaker was going out.
I use a ratchet strap to seat beads on bigger tires with lube on the beads.
@4xFredWilliams do you still have the old beauty rings you might want to sell??
in my shop I didnt see it but we all heard it, the tire bead was damaged and stretched and poped off the wheel, man was it loud not to mention it knocked the guy down and the rubber put a huge gash in his hand, always a big beleiver in the cage or hiding around the corner on big tires
What if you’re installing tires with a red and yellow dot do you still lineup the yellow dot with the valve stem 🤷🏼♂️
It is interesting how such larger tires and wheels are still OK with just those 5 stock lugnuts holding it to the axle.
a 1/2-20 lug stud at 90 ft lbs is 10,700 lbs of clamp force EACH. I'll be just fine.
@@russellv6234 yeah - I am sure it is fine, but it just SEEMS like it is not enough - especially since he just installed 24 bolts just to attach a beadlock.
I need that spray.
Shouldn’t you torque the ring on like a valve cover “star pattern” just askin
You think it’s his first time? Lol.....
Thanks, Fred! You have any part #s for these? Are these any cheaper than other beadlock wheels? Also, do these wheels come on stock Jeeps (or maybe as an option), so I might be able to find some second-hand? Or only direct from Mopar? Thanks as always for the content!
Also, the Dawn acts like a glue once dried
QUESTION - Fred, why are bead locks only on one side? Can't you knock the bead off on the back side?
Baxter makes it better…. Audio sounded great on the second half. As far as the size? I like multiple smaller episodes personally as I don’t always have time to sit and watch a 30-40min show.
Why is only one side bead locked? Seems to me that the inside can come off when aired down
Do I need to buy narrower wheels when going to beadlocks? I was looking at the weld on beadlock and was wandering if I could do front and backsides of the wheels with beadlocks for the ultimate beadlocking love. But got to thinking about rim width after that. Any input?
Glad to see you and Dave have started your own video's , I'll be watching ya ll just like DED , but I gotta ask what's wrong with those butt sniffers at motortrend they wouldn't know entertainment if it kicked them in the balls!
Editorials mean FREE parts, do they pay you in free parts or also pay u, 100%sponsered by distributors?
Fred everyone knows that if you don’t end up with antisieze all over you, your target, and every piece of clothing you’ve got on then you’re not doing it right… ;)
I Love Your Content The Sound Could Be Better
Hey Fred. I have a question. How come they don't have bead locks on the inside bead?
Some tires have only a yellow dot, some have only a red dot. Some have both. For the tires that have both red and yellow dots, the red dot overrides the yellow.
What purpose does it serve I haven't noticed any difference when you mount them different they balance the same even obviously in a different spot but still why is it a thing what am I missing?
How much does one of those tire and wheel assemblies weigh? For a daily driver that must be a bit of lost mileage to move those things eh?
do not agree that beadlocks keep the tire on the rim, they keep the rim from spinning in the tire when the pressure is lowered
@4xFredwilliams what the story of big foot from Dirt every day? ive always wounded
What's the part number for wheels and rings?
Sorry if it's in the video, I had to run before watching it all.
I know I'm probably going to get learnt on for posting this and probably gonna get some hate but seriously want to know why people keep thinking that the dots mean something when you mount a tire? I've mounted tires since highschool and played around with this idea trying to figure out if there's anything to it and honestly I can't find any solid evidence from testing that putting the dot by the valve stem makes any significant difference other than because it looks better. To even further disprove that aligning the dot with the valve stem makes a difference on how the tire balances Hunter tire machines have this thing called "Road Force Balance" and when the balance exceeds a certain point it wants you to rotate the tire on the rim to the spot where it deems will require the lowest amount of weigh to balance often times this will change the spot of the dot on the rim disproving everyone's thought on how the dot goes by the valve stem. Aligning the dot by the valve stem is not a factual thing other than it's aesthetically pleasing to people. I'm aware that yes sometimes it is in the right place but I have balanced tires with it not even close and some balance out perfect without adding weights explain that? I apologize for the rant but some people will believe anything if someone else tells them it's a fact without having to prove it to them.
i'll take a moment to mourn your lost sound .... ok , done now on with the video
Love the content but the audio was super low and crackly at times. Always double check sound levels before you get rolling.
Yep. Absolutely wrong on the Gladiator TPMs not able to be used. I have a 2018 JL. I was given a 2020 Gladiator set of wheels. It adapts as soon as you drive a few minutes, above 15MPH, just like it should. Now, as to whether they are different parts, I’m not sure. BUT, they 100% adapt.
Doesn't only bead locking the outer ring keep the outer tire from loosing it's bead / Is the inner tie bead less likely to loose its bead and if so why ?
Yes inner bead has a longer more gradual slope so it's harder to pop off still happens just less likely
Link to those wheels??
Thanks for posting. Very helpful!!!! 0lllllll0
yay!
Fred , tell me a story 👂
Hey Fred could I get a set of bead lock rims for 17x47x16.5 rim tires
Maybe try Humvee wheels
You know when the torque wrench clicks its at the set spec. Stop. Don't keep going and then hit it again. The bolt is now past spec.
Can’t hear you unless I turn ya way up?
i'll say a prayer for anyone listening with earbuds! 😬
My old boss at EV WEST just offered to give me my 1985 4 runner back,less the engine or original proposed EV swap fully registered
F yeah,has Cappas old J trucks Maxxis stickies and OMF beadlocks...
Woo hoo
I'll be at KOH 2023 after all
If we don't get this video about mounting tires to beadlocks, WE'RE GONNA LOSE THE CHANNEL!!!
@4xFredWilliams wanna sell the beadlock rings
Are these not street legal so Mopar has no liability....? Seems silly to offer a dual purpose rim from dealer....
No bead lock is street legal except for Hutchinson because the rest do not conform to the SAE inner rim profile. When it’s mounted conventionally it conforms to the inner rim profile as soon as you move the bead it no longer does.
@@Beat98TJ I understand how the beadlock works....... Thanks.
Be a whole lot easier to mount/unmount tires on REAL beadlock rims without the lip for normal beads.
What is up with the audio?
edit: nevermind, lol
Please stop double clicking that torque wrench
First 🥇👍👍👍👍
