To air up a tire buy a 20 inch motor cycle tube, with the wheel mounted soap both sides of the tire and rim put the motor cycle tube on the back side of the rim, add soap to the tube and air it up tight so it feels the air gap between the tire and rim. Lay the tire tube side down; I normally stand on the rim if it's not heavy enough, start adding air, the air will start expanding the tire and push the tube off while seating the bead. It works for me on my truck tires.
Appreciate the time taken for the video. Just some tips; 1) Remove the valve core out of the valve stem, then connect the air to it. You'll increase the volume of air tenfold, then spray the ether. 2) They make a bead breaker tool that you use an impact gun on. Tons better than those old school breakers.
Great video bud! Exactly he kind of thing I wanted to see. I think the MRAP wheels look way better and will work better especially when it comes time to air down. Nice bead breaker. Almost as cool as the torque multiplier you had in another vid.

You can use the weight of the rear chassis of the truck with wood placed on the tyre to break it. Just jack the chassis up, place the tyre, and lower it.
i have a better way, get a stout piece of lumber like a 6x3 and put the board on the edge of the bead and drive up on it, the weight of the engine and truck will push it down, no jack needed
A possible reason for the bedliner failure would be if the wheels aren't painted, they might be coated in CARC which stands for chemical agent resistant coating which the military uses. You might have to grind it off before trying to paint. I wasn't in the service so I don't know if they used CARC on wheels but I can't imagine they wouldn't. GB
I actually bought them off eBay, they were $80 a wheel. If you search mrap wheel several should pop up. They were offered in aluminum too which saves a ton of weight but at in increased price. An adapter must be run to convert them from 10 lug but they can be found on eBay or an easy google search.
@@jecustoms52 John thank you for your reply, i just love how tough those wheels look on the duece, did you get your adapters from ebay also? And i forgot to ask you what size the tires are, some guys go as big as 46" i think,but you have to do a little drum work for the rears, thank you again,looks great. Murphys oil soap here we come.
I can not remember off hand the tire size, I believe it was 365/80/20 (~43”). I flipped the rear hubs to get a uniform track width front and rear. I feel this looks better. I did not get the adapters off eBay, I bought them from an independent website.
the deuce would have looked alot better with the dual G272s 12.00s on the rear vs singling them out. Or going to 395/85/20s on the MRAP wheels. I had dual G272s on the rear of my 923 for a short bit with a 395 up front. You can also do that on the M35. a 395 up front will give you better stability up front and it wont interfere with the transfer case. It is done like that on the MaxxPro Plus MRAPs. I am located in memphis if you need tires or recovery. we also have them in Cookeville, TN. I am simp5782 on steel soldiers.
U should of used engine paint for your wheels. Just a light sanding with a 400 grit so the paint sticks and u would of been good. I did that to my fusion wheels and they turned out great engine paint resist high heat so its a lot tougher thats why i used that type of paint. No more plastidip that shit is a pain to remove.
What are you talking about? How do you add any hardener to a spray can let alone automotive paint hardener? You use rubberized undercoating that dries in a few minutes. Regular undercoating will take a long time to dry maybe even never.

bro are those 395"s ? what rims ? Thanks
Mrap wheels, not 395s I can’t remember the exact size now but they were about 42”

We had to use a pick-ax to beak it. That was in 92 on a 68 deuce.
i use a pickax to break tires too lol, usually i put a big 3x8 board on it and drive ontop and it breaks the tire for me

I wonder if the mrap wheels will fit a 10 lug hub pilot hub
If you had the insert/run flat you wouldn’t have trouble with seating the tire.

Where do you get the adapters? Been looking a set.
Hi John where did you get those wheels (rims)? how can i get some for my duece? thanks

Hay John Elliot you still have the inner tubes
I do not
It's a good idea to get rid of the old style split rims. They are dangerous & in some places actually outlawed. Tire shops won't mess with them.
these arent old pressure fit split rims. These are bolted together. Totally safe.
I have another quick question have you heard of anyone running E85? if so probably needs to be mixed with oil
It will definitely burn it, probably would get horrible mileage though, I would recommend blending it with oil
@@jecustoms52 ok thanks i live in Michigan and the price difference it about $3 + a gallon verses 1.70 to 1.80 a gal for E85
I am new to all this and thinking about getting one what are the rims of of i like the idea of no tube and split ring
They’re Mrap wheels

where did u buy the adapters at
+John Denelsbeck eBay, Rodgers military truck sales
John Elliott thank u sir
Is it a daily driver for you ? What kind of mileage are you getting ??
Not a daily, it gets about 10mpg which is good considering it’s size.
@@jecustoms52 my 77 f250 gets 9
Pick up a "CHEETAH Air Can", that will save you the several failed attempts in getting the bead to seat.....
This is an old video but to harden the undercoating , you add automotive paint hardener to it.
