G'day mate. I worked in the tyre industry for 20 years and you have just showed me how the bead locks actually work. I was always out and about doing onsite tractor and earthmoving equipment tyres. And roadside assistance with trucks, fleet management system. For years I only helped in the shop between outside calls. So just managed to not see the bead locks actually work. Thank you for your detailed video. Regards Stephen Australia

Best video on this. It answered all my questions and more.

love the info. were doing a 79 f150 crawler build. oregon based too. we gonna have to add inner tire bead to mine cause I'm using 16.5s. and beadlocks on outside. thanks for the video. and 100% on reverse mount wheel. mine has inner mounted valve stems wee good.

Hell yea, Desiree and I watched the whole thing and didn’t skip any adds. Don’t know shit about any of this but hope the channel keeps growing. Got some good laughs too

I subscribed halfway through the intro! Really cool stuff and I consider myself a hard sell

for the tire that doesn't want to seat the inner bead, that 5 gallon pail looks like the perfect solution again. Lots of soap, I actually got a product called Tire Slick (I think) and it's slicker than snot and works really well, don't need a lot of it

New sub here. Thanks for the details you have learned

exelent job man thanks for the info..cheers from argentine

Helpful video!

Thank you for the video I learnt alot

I learned stuff, so i click like. thx!

Look awesome 👌

Sweet channel!

Very nice to see the whole process from beginning to end. Nice job. One comment is that your anti-coning tabs look high. Even looked at the end like the cover plate was coning the other way. If so, might be worth grinding them a tad down to the tire lip thickness.

If you want to prevent spatter from adhering to the metal ring, spray it with a light to medium coat of anti spatter normally used on MIG nozzles. It will prevent virtually all spatter from sticking and it will not degrade your weld quality. When I was first apprenticing as a welder I was put on hard wire MIG and stayed there for about 2000 hours building truck bodies. I cannot remember any instance where spatter was so firmly attached as to require a cold chisel or grinder to remove it.

New sub! Thanks!!!

Awesome videos 🤙🏽

Good video. Good explanation. Great alternative to paying too much. Thanks for the idea

Thanks dad for the help

25:55 I didn't expect Ethan to have such nice legs. 🤪

Don’t know if this has been mentioned but you don’t use both gasket on the valve stem, the small one is for smaller valve stem holes

Good info

Hi there I just have a few questions I hope you will answer 1. do you have any dice on it, or have you bought those discs 2. if you bought them how thick plate is it made in? 3. how hip is it you bend up, (thick on wheels)

Can you please elaborate on the limited slip not working with bigger tires. I can’t find ANYTHING online about that.

nice job not a single curse word that i heard fantastic viideo young man new sub here

Is that a vision d window wheel?

Spraying anti spatter on the surface will make clean up much easier, the little bits of spatter just wipe off

Hey man. Just saw this video! Bad ass. I was wondering if you can get the measurements off those plates. How thick is that plates and how far spacing are the wholes. My buddy has a plasma table and I think I could save some bucks!

Any tips on installing bead locks on chromie 15” Mickey Thompson’s? Is there any other prep you do with chrome?

instead of welding up and moving the valve stem hole is there enough room to install angled valve stems to make them easier to access?

how did you balanced those tires?

Hey so the tire is no good to use on a regular rim after its been on beadlocks?

Bead locking Reverse lip rims would seem to be an option for those areas (and many areas are like this) that it is ILLEGAL to use bead lock rims on the road. Cops would never be able to tell at a distance.

Is each ring a set?

hellow dude. you could put the rim valve link. saludos desde mexico.

Do you have the template of the beadlock?

where or who makes these beadlock kits?

Is that welder from Harbor? And if so how good is it compared to other welders like the Lincon?

reverse mount wheel ... hmmm ... good to know !

Good stuff maynard! How you like that vulcan 220?

Can you use just regular junk yard steelies and plasma cut a bead lock rim?

You from Oregon/Washington area? Saw a clip that looked like browns camp

Can you weld the nuts to the rear ring? Would make your life easier during install

does anyone make beadlocks for duallys?

I've seen that jeep.are you in pnw?

I would find something to get the spacing as close to perfect as possible like some mig wire pieces put in as a spacer around the gap if that makes sense

Reverse , or "back" mount just means you start on the back side because that "low gutter" area is where the bead sits as you pull the final bead over. It has no effect on the bead seating.... If the bead seat area in different, it's designed so the "outer" is more secure for "cornering"... Also, if the inner ring sits inside the "lip" , it doesn't change anything... Reverse mount ....LOL.....

Nice video! What is that intro song!?

Should only use a small impact and torque settings to 22lb_ft. and do it in stages. 10# to 15# to 22#. that'll keep everything even and not squish the tire to one side. IMHO.

32:38 what happened to keep it really wet

Surprised you didnt flap disk the welds smooth or leak test the welds

Instead of a ratchet strap to help seat the bead I use starting fluid, way more entertaining!

You said ummm 978 times amazing

Don't drink that drink I think I saw a fire fly go in it

Push with a mig welder not pull. Welds will be better and look better

wouldn't you need bead locks on the inner and outer??

Pro tip……Balancing beads ( no I am not a pro)

Bead locks are no good if you don’t have front and backs on each tire

This is the worst welding job I have ever seen.

Stop pulling your welds!
