JEEP TECH is a WAYALIFE series designed to help people learn how to work on their own Jeeps through short and easy to follow instructional 'how to' videos. In this episode, Mel Wade of Off Road Evolution will show you the proper way to install a set of ATX Slab Bead Lock Wheels onto a Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tire. He also provides some great tips and tricks that will help make the install of any bead lock wheel a lot easier.
I like all of his videos because he is honest and the information he provides is very reliable.
One of the better bead lock how-to's I have seen.
I have seen a lot of people that say to put anti-seize on the bolts for the ring so that you don't pull out the threads in the event that the bolts have some electrolysis go on. Not an issue if the wheels have stainless inserts, but could be an issue for the ones that do not.
Love the video. Now I know how to do this so hopefully we will get that one random customer at work that brings in bead locks :D
Learned to drive stick on CZcams and now bead locks. Awesome.
Having run both, I would say that the Nitto's do wear faster than Toyo's but, they also seem to hook up better on the rocks.
You can drive your Jeep to most any tire shop like Discount Tire and have them balance your wheels after the fact.
Very helpful. I've always wondered how bead lock wheels work exactly.
You can take your wheels to most any tire shop like Discount Tire and they will balance them for you.
Great video! I always wondered how a bead lock tire gets mounted, now I know!
The nitto trail grappler also have different letters on each side. One is normal while the other side is italicized. Kinda an easier way to tell the different sides.
Isn't bolting them down in a star criss cross pattern much more accurate in getting the beadlocks down equally?
A good bead lock wheel like the ATX slab will balance without any problems
Thank you
You bet :)
Great video! I am looking forward to more videos in this series!
This is really great, really looking foward to starting my jeep project with my buddies
The nitto trail grappler also has different lettering. One side is italicized while the other has normal print. Kinda an easier way to tell the difference.
This is a new series
Excellent stuff guys! Love these type of videos. This video confirms that I did it right. Although, I couldn't find any info on Toyo's site if the Opencountry M/T's have an inside and outside design for the wheel. Both sides look the same to me. :-)
SICK VID LOVE INFO LIKE THIS I HOPE THERES MORE TO COME
We've run both and both sound pretty much the same.
Ah. Journey in the background! Good call! \m/
Great video 👍
Thank You
Great video, thanks! I found myself getting constantly distracted by that big, black monster of a Wrangler behind the camera.
Do the Nitto Trail Grappler MT's hum at highway speeds? I like the looks of the tire but I think I might go with Toyo Open Country MT's in 35x12.5x20.
Great there goes more money now that I can trust my self to do this now.
Question: I am 17 and I want to have a career in this and just need some help. What would be the best route to take in school to get to a job in the Jeep industry.
excellent! what type of weights would they use?
Thanks for the great vids and info
This might be a dumb question, but do you balance them and add weights at all?
Great video, cant wait for more
Either side is fine, it's all personal preference.
Question: When working with bead-lock rims, is it difficult to get them balanced correctly for on road use? I have a set of wheels that is unable to be balanced correctly and therefore unusable on road. They are not bead-locked though.
i use balancing powder, but the glas type on my wheels!
Thanks, Mel!
Toyo's are the same on both sides
Thanks for the video!
I'm sure someone has mentioned this but I'll stress it. If your airing up a beadlock rim or any two piece tire think twice. There is a reason a.s.e and OSHA mandated a tire cage be used.
Hey Mel, do you have any info on replacement parts such as the ring and bolts? Thank
i always wondered this if anybody could answer. if you put let say 35psi of pressure in your tire off the car. and put the tire on the car and put it on the ground will it change the psi? i mean, weight of the car will be pushing the tire down. wouldnt it have higher psi?
Yes, it will but not as much as you'd think. You have to remember that each tire is still only being influenced by a quarter of the weight of your vehicle.
i need beadlock rim 16" 6 hole who can help me. my car nissan patrol. i am from saudi arabia...my e mail.. jufu34@gmail.com
LOL.. when your torque wrench clicks before it moves, it's over torqued!
+Drunken Ira Hayes that's not what he was doing. 1 or 2 moved.
Yeah the first time he hit the bolts with the torque wrench it clicked right away on most of them. Air tools and torque sensitive bolts simply don't mix.. I've found that out the hard way to many times
helpful video man thanks
So these wheels are specific bead lock wheels or can you just by bead lock rims to mount to the wheel
cool... what is done for balancing?
How do the nitto's wear compared to the toyo's? I am running nitto mud grappler and they seem to be wearing very fast on road.
Thanks
I would think so. Unless the product is labelled as "Offroad use only. Not for Highway use." Because then, it won't meet DOT or SAE standards.
But other than that, you should be fine!
@wayalife is this a new series? or are their more of these
What? I seriously don't understand. Can you please explain? Does it cause damage to the torque wrench? Does it "over-torque" the bolts? Does it double the torque applied to the bolts?
wheel balancing required ?
LOL!! For you, only if it's blue ;)
Is there more maintenance required for a beadlock tire than a standard one?
Yes. the bolts need to be checked quite often. normal wheel dose not really have any maintenance at all. Also They are illegal for road use in some states. There is quite a few look a likes on the market that look like bead locks but are not like whats in this video. on those the tire mounts like it dose on normal wheels.
Hi , what Beat lock Would You Recommend For A Stock 2 Door Rubicon 2015 Im going to Put 2 Inch level kit. I Don't go Rock climbing,I love the Desert And Sand. THANK YOU.
I wouldn't recommend one or at least, for how you use your Jeep. I would recommend that you get a simulated bead lock as they will be a lot cheaper and you will be able to find shops that are willing to work on them.
These don't look as safe as standard wheels are they?
Are the beads not seated inside the rims like a standard wheel?
The inside tire lip seats normally. The outside tire lip seats on the outside of rim so the bead lock ring can pinch the tire lip to the rim when tightening the bolts.
Where you buy thats beadlocks wheels?
Doesnt he mount the tire wrong. He says this is the outside when spraying the soap. But then puts the rim beadlock side first
why?
Paint has been fading and need to be resprayed then be all sweet looking rims and hate to see most fading paints it's not good to look at
Does this rims have a name (offroad with that ring that holds the tire)? I saw Ford Raptor are equipped with these. They look really badass.
+Stefan Batrinache BeadLock.
Thanks mate!
are these street legal?
For those who drive on the street, isn't it fair to say the "media" balls should be put into the air space?
I guess there is no such thing as balancing one of those, eh? :D
*there ;)
But I don't think it'd be wise to use beadlocks on roads/highway.
8-lug holes, heavy axle..
タイヤを組み替える前に、ホイール洗わないのかよ！
結構雑な作業だな。
俺ならこんなショップに頼まない。
Lol lol. Hell yeah put a tire on a rim with a small screwdriver and rubber mallet. Lol. Very misleAding.
Great video, I've always wondered how they mount tires on beadlocks.
