How to Fix a Flat Using a Tire Plug to Repair a Puncture on a Jeep Truck or Car with Ease

Whether it's caused by a nail, screw, renegade branch or other sharp and pointy object, a flat tire caused by a puncture is something that most of us have to deal with at some point and time especially if you take your Jeep off road. And, while it can be a bummer, it is at least something that can be fixed quickly and with relative ease. The best part is, so long as the hole is located on the tread, the repair will be good enough that you won't have to think about again. In this short video, you'll get to see just how easy it is to locate a leak and how to fix it yourself using a tire plug.

The ending caught me off guard, but I loved it. 😁 The only addendum I'd make is to take the tire out for a quick ten minute drive to help the tire warm up and the plug to bond. Great video!

Even though I've plugged many tires, I still watched all the way to the end, and for that I was rewarded with an adorable clip of the newest family member. It's like she was waiting for the toy to play back😁. She looks like a lot of fun

Great job on the video, excellent topic but also some clever editing. I have a big rig with a leaking tire. I believe it is a nail, and at $600 per tire, I finally decided to buy the Safety Seal Tire Repair kit that looks similar to the one you have. You made it look easy, and I hope now that I have observed the process demonstrated, I am as successful in my repair as you. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate. Cool vehicles in your garage!!

i love your how to do videos, i wish you would show how to do trail repairs on vehicles like gladiator or jk, what needs to be repaired and how to do it video would be great, changing an axle shaft, fixing a broken u joint, any repairs you have seen done on the trail and how to get your vehicle back to civilization. this would be a great set of videos for the beginner off roader and would also help with selecting the tools and parts needed to keep your jeep running off road , these would be a refference series for all offroaders.

@wayalife 4 жыл бұрын

Actually, we do feature some of that in our videos. Our Bedeviled video shows an axle shaft change and I'm pretty sure our Maple Honey one shows a u-joint replacement. We've also done ring gear removals on a few others. But, we also have specific videos that show some of this stuff in detail and they'll help out a lot on the trail.

hey eddie if i can ask a question about axles. i know its a reccomended idea to beef up the axles when running a 40 inch tire, but would that require replaceing the entire front and rear axles and differentials? or can i simply get stronger axles that take the place of OE axles while keeping the factory differentals? (like to be able to hang onto the rubicons automatic axle locker and stuff?

@wayalife 4 жыл бұрын

You would want to replace the entire factory front and rear axles with a set of 1-tons. As in, you'd want a set of Dana UD60's.
