The idea of a hub adapter is genius... and makes a lot of sense if you are offroading with other makes and models of rigs on a regular basis!
I have smart friends 😂
Some wheels are hub centric, so don't ruin your buddy's wheel.
@@DISOPtv Most of the advice he gave was to get someone off a trail and back to civilization though. I figure this is the same. It's not meant to get you back from the rubicon to Florida.
Great idea. I have a Jeep JKU and just got a 4Runner. Was thinking about this being a bummer the other day. Being able to share a spare would be great! How exactly would I configure this would I carry two one to go from JKU to 4R and another to go from 4R to JK? Or just build what need when/if I need it?
❤@@TheCajunGaijin
The reason I mounted my compressor under the hood instead of inside the cab is because my wife is usually asleep in the passenger seat by the time we get back to the pavement to air up and I don’t want to wake her up. A happy wife is worth the slightly increased wear on the compressor for me.
That adds up 👍
Similar for me - but it is the dog. She is so scared of different noises and she is usually inside the truck when I air up.
This is one of the best channels on RUclips. Hands down.
Your videos have always been good, but they just keep getting better. Way to go on this one!
I carry a morrflate quad as well as a single hose with my arb twin. The thing I like about the morrflate is not having to sit by each tire in uncomfortable weather.
@@JoshLC80 me too
@@BuzzyfuzzMe too, but I use the Thor version. It is awesome so far.
I've built a few with hoses, T's and a regulator. As long as you have air compressor-->regulator-->4 hoses you're good. As long as all tires are hooked up; the tires will self balance to the adjusted pressure at the regulator.
Nate thanks...just for reference...those stems you have are made to only install with tire off wheel I beleive. And requires a separate tool. But I use the Colby emergency stem kit. Instalation from outside the wheel. Tire on! Hope this helps. Appreciate your vids Nate!
I have used those stems... you definitely have to de-bead the tire and push the sidewall down... but they just pull into place with a plier pretty easy. I'll have to check out the Colby kit... sounds easier.
Colby kit is great since you don’t have to mess with the bead.
Great video, thanks for putting this out there. I bought my first jeep in 1976 and have owned at least 1 4x4 ever since, so needless to say, i have a little bit of experience in my bag of tricks.
#1. Those tire kits are full of stuff that just isn't necessary. You need the file, glue and punch and plug, and extra valves. That's it. (I don't like long valves and I don't like metal valves - I want them to be short and pliable so they don't get broken off by rocks) Also, when plugging a hole, note the direction the object went into the tire and run both the file and the plug directly in line with that direction. Not lining up directly with the direction of the hole can make it almost impossible to get the plug in, as demonstrated in your video. I've used up to 7 or 8 plugs to 'temporarily' repair sidewall cuts. I say 'temporarily' even though that always last the duration of the run, and the trip home, and often for way too long afterwords.
#2, De-beaded tires. If the tire is still on the vehicle, I can almost ALWAYS re-bead a tire by simply putting the compressor on and then using my hands and a little muscle, doesn't take all that much, to pull the tire toward towards the broken bead. It will seem like it's not working, but just be patient and before you know it, it holds and then pops. I can't tell you how many times people tell me, "You can't do that, that wont work".. and it almost always does. NOTE: Depending on where the bead is broken, or if it's broken all the way around, you may, or may not need to raise the tire off the ground.
#3. Airing down PSI... Love the pre-set screw on deflators. On my old CJ's, which way about 3500-3800 lbs, I usually ran 3 to 5 PSI depending on terrain and objective. On my 4 door Wrangler which weighs about 7000 lbs, I air down to 10 - 12 PSI depending on terrain and objective. In some conditions, sand or snow I'll air down even lower. As long as you don't have a lead foot and crawl slowly, you will not pop a bead. If you get crazy, all bets are off.
#4. Airing Up. What ever works for you is fine. I have the 4-way, but usually use it one tire at a time. Weird huh? I use, and love, the quick connect/disconnect nozzles. This allows you to place it on the valve and walk away and do something else. Also a good note: As far as speed, yes some compressors, air hoses, high flow nozzles etc, will pump faster/more air than others, but ultimately you are limited by the amount of air your valve will allow to pass.
#5 Jacks. There's some great options out there these days, how much do you want to spend? Me, I've used a high lift jack since my first jeep. It's indispensable! I love them. I believe if you don't like the High-Lift jack, you don't understand it!. Once you know the nuances, it's a great tool!
#6. Inflating a tire with flammable substance. A little is a lot! You do not need to spray the entire circumference of the wheel. Simply spray about 2 seconds in a small area, and toss a match in there. Works every time. That said, It's been decades since I've needed to do this as I can always do it with the wheel on the vehicle, without using flammables.
#6. Spares. Your spacer is cool, but really, always carry a spare. It's YOUR responsibility to at least have a spare for your vehicle, and chances are, it's rare that you can't get a spare going with today's repair kits.
Again, thanks for the great video.
This is great stuff… thanks for taking the time.
Super helpful! Great video
Thanks 🙏… we still need to team up on a video some day… next year you should join our budget build competition.
@@OutdoorAuto for sure, would love to meet up some day
A ratchet strap AROUND THE Circumference of the tire is the best way to put even pressure to help rebead a tire without using starting fluid or a dump tank, a propane tank that has a 1" ball valve and a nozzle that puts in a whole buncha air RFN and seats the bead. Can also be used to shoot potatoes at your buddies when they are off taking a piss in the bushes
Great vid, but I have a bit of info for you to clarify a point or two. 1) the lube that comes with the tire patch kit is actually a key component that reacts with the plugs to help them melt and seal into the hole. Technically, the lube is a vulcanizing agent. So use it! It’s not just to make it easier to insert, it’s key to sealing the hole.
2) not wider! Common misunderstanding when airing down. Your tread width is what it is, it doesn’t magically get wider when you air down. It gets Longer! Airing down increasing the square inches of tire contact patch by lengthening the tread patch in contact with the ground.
Hope that helps.
Btw the hub trick is pretty slick
Simply got to be "the best" meat & potatoes kind of tire/air down/patch//air up/ off road related best practices sh*t ever👍
Thanks... feedback is super helpful.
20 years ago, I used a cheap tire plug kit to fix a tire on an VW Baja bug . Funny thing is it still holds air today. I’ve spent a lot of time working at a tire shop and the cheap plug kits worked just fine.
They really do… I am amazed what the can hold
Yes, the old "sticky ribbon" type of plugs work fine...but for some time now, I've been carrying/using a mushroom-type plug kit.
-- BR
I love my Morrflate compressor and 4 way hose. Sure it takes a bit of time to get set up, but I almost always finish airing up and have everything packed away before anyone else that I am with finishes doing one tire at a time. But that largely comes down to the type of compressors they are using. I can do 15 to 35 psi in less than 5 minutes on my 33's.
As soon as my friends saw my morrflate setup, they started waiting to use mine instead of whatever they had 😂
Wow, actually great advice, a lot of these advice videos are so generic and simplistic, great to watch something useful, this was worth the watch.
Oh whew… these videos are a hard balance to find… thanks for the feedback
I think it gets overlooked, but having even a small air tank with a pressure regulator can do a lot for filling up tires and help save your compressor by keeping water out.
Thank you for all of this valuable info! We usually have newer tires on our rig but we have gotten by for way too long on luck. Will be ordering a couple new items for our toolbox.
Nate this was really good! Tons of great advice here.
Awesome. I try hard… sometimes it hits… sometimes I miss…
Great video, thx! I. carry two Milwaukee M18 inflators, I can inflate two tires at once and have spare if one breaks. Also, you can still buy inner tubes for most tire sizes that could work in a pinch and not take up too much space/weight to carry. I like the Coyote deflators and Safety Seal tires plug kit, both are made in USA.
I have thought about getting one of those inflators. I have been looking for a while for a decent battery powered air inflator that works well.
Tire cheat 2) The other best way to protect sidewalls is run more plies at lower pressures. For example, M/T Baja Pro XS is 4 ply, Baja Boss is 3 ply, BFG is 3 ply, nearly everything else is only 2 ply. This is reflected in the tire weight per size, get the heaviest tire in your size, it should be about 8 pounds heavier than everything else in the exact same size.
Great advice
Funny, I'm here shopping new tires, and trying to find the lightest 34-35" I can. 😅
35x11.5 Falken vs 35x12.5 saves 10lbs.
But D load vs E load will also save some weight. My FZJ80 currently weighs 5500lbs with me in it. I can't see it getting much heavier than about 6000 static weight, and even with two more passengers MAYBE 6500.
E load is just over kill, but I have had extra plies save side walls from getting cut, so I'm still on the fence for the next tire.
@TheCajunGaijin Thick sidewalls don't air down well and if you do you run the risk of the bead coming off. They don't have the same forgiveness and flex as soft tires do. So you have to pick your battle there...
I think it depends on what you are doing with your rig. Heavy tires come with a long laundry list of downsides. If you regularly cut sidewalls for whatever reason, then the heavier tires may be a good idea. I've cut 2 tires 48 years, and much of that in rocky environments. I'm super watchful of where my tires are going, so for me it's all about light weight. A rough rule of thumb is take the extra tire weight x 4, let's say 8 x 4=32, then multiply by 10 = 320. That extra 8 pounds per tire will have about the same performance degradation as 320lbs extra in your vehicle
Get C-load at your own risk. I run E. Maybe the first 5 min the bumps are felt more, but after that no big deal, I got used to it.
Love the tips. PSI x 3 will give you a decent kph (metric) speed.
Tire cheat 1) best way to protect sidewalls is run the wisest possible tread on the narrowest possible wheel. Such as a 285 on a 7.0"
Yup. I run a 12.5 on a 7.5 and can air down as much as I want.
Never heard of the hub adapter before either. Good Idea.
I don't travel in groups often, but it drives me crazy to watch other channels like @ExpeditionOverland where they have a fleet of different vehicles and they are all carrying a ton of stuff and not really taking advantage of the fact they have this purpose built convoy.
2 or even 3 may fit in the hole. Key is steady pressure. Got it...
Im pretty sure NRS straps are holding my life together! HAHAHAH
The tire spacer idea is brilliant!
My "hack" is to have a diverse crew to wheel with. Some trades people as well as those in the medical field make a great team!
That is a good Hack... and yes... nrs straps hold my trucks together and even my pants up sometimes... we are a rafting family so we have been using these for a long time.
Great info. I have one of the NAPA twin compressors similar to the ones Morrflate and a couple other companies sell. I only air one tire at a time and I always finish before the guys with the quad setups. I was in the process of switching tire carriers and went trail riding without a spare with a group. I have a TJ and I carry a TJ to JK wheel adapter for the reason you mentioned. As luck would have it I cut a tire on the trail and I couldn’t find anyone in the group willing to give up their spares. Lol. I now carry a spare all the time. Lol
Real world experience spoken here. Thank you Nat.
I’m so glad you acknowledged the innuendoes. Biting my tongue so hard it’s bleeding
😂 - that kind of comedy is too easy
Fantastic video Nathan! This needs to go into my reference folder.
I have covered little bits of this stuff in other videos but I get questions on Air up & Down and other related Items I figured it was time to consolidate it all into one video...
@@OutdoorAuto Your hard work is appreciated.
I agree with the hose ends getting gunked up when they drag across the ground not to mention you get dirtier wrapping/curling of dirty hoses. I have done a few variations of air up systems and now have settled on added air hose plumbing under my F150 with a connector at each corner of the truck and 4 short hoses that are the right length that they stay off the ground. My hose or ends typically never touch the ground. I had talked to a tire engineer from Falken years ago and he told me if you are aired down to ~20 psi give or take a couple then you should be good for a few miles on pavement if you keep it under 50 mph. I have done this quite a bit and keep an eye on tire pressures while on pavement and have never seen them go up more than 1 psi indicating they are not too hot. I have also checked the sidewalls for warmth and have not really felt much difference. He noted that many people have run tires for months/years ~15 psi low and not noticed especially before TPMS was common and required. That is on of the main reasons TPMS's were required, so many people ran around with low tires it wasted fuel and added to greenhouse gasses.
That sounds awesome.
You know what's great for airing down? Your re-inflation gear. Make a DIY 4 tire inflator, put a gauge and a gate valve on it, deflate all your tires at once and don't bother with the extra gear just to deflate.
I have 4 oversized aftermarket wheels and a stock steel spare wheel. The tires are oversized, the spare wasn't. My spare tire now is still narrower but the circumference is the same as the other 4.
Resetting a bead(s). A ratchet strap around the circumference will help push the sidewalls out against the rim, ideally sealing it to fill with air.
great ideas, i love the last one!
You mentioned about taking the battery pack that has an air compressor integrated in its system. Good idea. We went a different route. Since we had Ryobi tools, they had an air compressor that runs on the same battery system as our tools, the One+. It's "budget friendly". It's not $8-900. We got our air compressor from Ryobi for less than $170. It's not part of the electrical system of our FJ. We take and store it when needed. Hope this helps.
Great video and I am glad I found your channel. I will agree with you on the onboard air and single hose being faster if you have a setup like you have with the hard-wired twin ARB and hose reel, however, I run the Moreflate twin compressor and 4 tire system and i usually beat everyone airing up in our group. A lot of the time guys are asking to borrow mine when i am done because they are still on their first tire. The other thing I like about mine is that I can put it in any vehicle I have and do not have to put a full system in each rig. Additionally, you mention some new companies like Viar are copying ARBs compressor. Viar makes rock-solid compressors and had been the off road standard for decades before ARB even built compressors. I have the Viair 450p that i keep in my motorhome because it is 100 percent duty cycle up to 150psi. they are built tough, just a lot slower so work best with a storage tank.
Never break your tip!!! Got it.
Sooo... at 21:10, I see you've created a "fuse" and are staying a safe distance away from the explosive force. But what about my buddy Walter? He's got his face right in there (although he IS doing the "safety squint")😂
Walter lives by a different code then the rest of us... I also have it on good authority that he once did this using axe body spray... so... who's the real legend?
@@OutdoorAuto 😅😅😅
@@OutdoorAutoWalter either doesn't have body hair or he's recharging his canisters with another fluid.
I agree with multi tire inflators, however I'm very good at setting it up, tons of practice lol and they all have quick connectors and I'm up and connected to my air compressor in under 45 seconds
With the spacers, depending on the state are illegal. Some states the spacer is legal but if the tire extends beyond the fender can make it illegal.
I don't understand the popularity of those valve core deflators either! I have a set similar to yours, take a lap screwing the on, then a lap screwing them off. Easy peasy.
I use two $50 amazon digital air compressors to air up. One for each side, i'm done in about 10 minutes. They have worked great for almost 5 years now! (Plus i can move them i to whatever rig i'm riding in for the day!)
Motomaster Twin inflator is my favorite. It's sold at Canadian Tire.
I just have smallish, but rated for large trucks & RVs, compressor with a short-ish hose but a long 12V cable that alligator clips onto my starter battery. I got it at O'Reilly's. A longer wire takes up less space in my rig than a longer hose. I don't care how long it takes to air up my tires. I've got all day anyway. I'm out there to be out there. Not to rush to the next destination.
Excellent video!
Run the ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire. Tighten strap to force sidewalls out toward bead. Remove valve core to slow maximum air flow. Air up until bead seats then reinstall valve core.
Exactly! Ratchet strap helps a lot… probably should have called out pulling the valve stem… we do that every time I. The shop when we mount new tires.
those lock n flate air chucks are awesome. way better than the garbage one that came with my ARB compressor.
I love them and they are really cheap considering all the garbage out there.
Great info, I have been using my ryobi air compressor from
Home Depot priced at $150. It’s been 5 years and it still works, half the price of fancy ones and it airs up my stock tire sized tundra when off-roading no problem. Sometimes less is more.
I love it... I am a big fan of affordable solutions... spend money on gas and food and get out there
You can use a ratchet strap down the center of the tread to help seat the bead of a tire. As the strap squeezes the tire, it forces the bead out. Just remember to release the tension as soon as the bead seats. You don't want the strap to break from the air pressure and go flying. Used this method in a tire shop fur years.
Great tip
Based on the thumbnail I was skeptical about viewing this, but did so anyways. Glad I did. While the first few points were geared for the novice, I did learn from the second third (shout out to Car Talk) of your video. Also happy you included a link to the air chuck you discussed. About the adapter ring, anyone in my trail group better coordinate that before getting on the trail cus my spare is dedicated for my vehicle and they better supply the adapter ring.
My channel is a bit weird… it really is just a sharing/ teaching channel so we try to cover a variety of skill levels… you obviously saw that immediately
If you're going with a small group take a small/ cheap drone to scout ahead if you need to.
two of my buddies and I went on a small trip, and the lead vehicle put us into a wash which was only suitable for side by side vehicles, for the last 4 miles. we were able to make it out but had we had a drone to scout the area we would have been able to avoid the issue all together.
Great video! One thing you didn't consider in your discussion about 4 tire inflators is that they aren't as hard on your compressor. You get less back pressure, thus less heat with a 4 tie hose, and heat kills compressors. Your typical Schrader value is only rated for about 150 LPM. So the restriction comes from there as well as the single hose for the compressor. For example, I have a 300 LPM compressor. So if I use a single hose with it, I'm "wasting" about 150 LPM, or half of my airflow. Guess what happens when you do that? Yup, you generate heat, which is hard on the compressor, AND effects your duty cycle.
I definitely called out the heat reduction with 4 inflators in the video…
I'm actually heard of someone taking a piece of rubber and just melting it to fill a hole. I've never tried it but I guess if you had to it's worth a shot.
I guess maybe you could carry a bike tube or something like that to have some just rubber material to use.
That wheel spacer hack is genius!
Putting it in & out all day will wear it out. Got it...
Excellent information I am From United Arab Emirates ur suggestion are extremely helpful ❤❤❤❤
Great info/tips. Thanks
The best budget air compressor that I found is the Thor's hammer I love mine it might be Thor's lightning
Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge!
Some good tips in there.
Where abouts is that mini hose reel from? Thanks.
Killing it Nate. Great stuff.
Awesome content as usual but applies to all off roaders/ overlanders and van lifers car campers
excellent! I learned a few things! Just added a couple things to my Amazon Cart!
Thank you
Your welcome, hope it was helpful...
I’ve heard the morrflate guy on the snailtrail podcast say schrader valves have a max flow of 1.5 cfm. If you use one of the 4 hose systems, you can shove 6 cfm in there and won’t back pressure a fancy compressor as much……and won’t overheat it as easily
Yup... I called that out in the video... the advantage to those 4 hose systems is the heat reduction.... the other solution is to change your valves to high flow ones from a company like Apex
@@OutdoorAuto my bad then!
Sorry for starting out with the downer comment. This video is awesome. Really appreciate all the excellent info you’ve been putting out there.
Great info. Never thought about a hub adapter.
30 mph = 50 kmphr. A Canadian. We had to figure that all out in the 1970's when we went to the metric system. Most towns are 7 miles apart. Your gallon is actually metric, because your quart is a litre. We had to convert the imperial measurement to a metric equivalent.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support for the channel.
Great video and products thank you
nicely explained
Great info... nice cap.
I choose to use Makita portable hand held air compressors. They use 18v makita batteries, I have a bunch of those. A battery can inflate three to four tirers. I have 38s on my Jeep. It has a digital read out, and you can set the pressure that you want the pump to stop. I have four of them and that makes the task fairly fast.
WHAT!?!? GENIUS! Thank you very much!!
Your the only other person iv heard of using these makita inflator. I run two of em, 1 for the rear, and 1 for the front, they are great!
@@cooksadventures8748 Great minds think alike. lol The newest model inflates even faster. I still have to use a velcro strap to keep it going though. Wist they would have an auto trigger lock.
@@ryankim3612 It has been working well for me for years now.
@@jcarieri5435 there's a new model?!?! We're still talking 18v right?
hello from boise! have u thought about doing an "intro to overlanding/off road" clinic? i feel like it would do well. i know i'd go!
I keep 2 full size spares. Onboard twin viair compressors, tire repair kit.
Good Job!
I'm in Canada... I math well. 🤓 Great video as always!! 👌
You guys are nice, you math well… it’s no wonder all my friends that were girls married Canadians 😂
@@OutdoorAuto 😂😂
I would rather carry 2 milwaukee air inflators than all the air hoses. I can air a 35 inch tire up 20 psi in 4 to 4 1/2 minutes. Running 2 takes around 10 minutes to air up all 4 tires.. Footprint is about the same as all the hoses.
Those are great and the battery powers other useful tools… there are a ton of ways to manage air up.
Cheap double pump compressors from Amazon work great. I use two at the same time, I always get my tires up to street pressure before anyone. But this is from sand pressure at 8psi.
Thanks, this is helpful
Great video
@outdoorauto I would have sold you my 03 Sequoia thats 85% finished for over landing. And its clean 😊. I'm looking forward to see what you do to the Land cruiser
I want to do a sequoia build some day… I pretty much have to build and then sell cause I can’t afford to keep all these… but I really like the sequoias
One cool air trick is to run lines to each wheel well with a chuck and you only need to hook up 4 small leads
Yeah this is the ultimate cheat
Ive got a Halo unit. Is has a jump starter and an air compressor. But it overheats very easy and makes it useless
I just have a small air compressor with small tank that plugs into my FJ’s 400 watt outlet. Cheap and portable. I’ve filled tractor tires with it.
When using fire to inflate, take enough time for the air to enter the tire, and don't use to much gas, if you don't wait you will have only fire without a explosion, if you use to much you will have a bigger explosion!
Spare control arm bolts and torque paint!
My jeep lj front axle turned into a 3 link for a little! Found the bolt. But couldnt find the nut. Luckily my buddies tire carrier had a extra bolt i could take that used the same nut.
Is that mini air reel from Apex? asking for the Discord folks
Great video…
After viewing your video, which I found quite informative and interesting, a question arose in my mind. Tyre pressure is supposed to be measured “cold”. What is the impact of re-inflating your tyres when hot? Do you adjust/compensate for that?
Cold vs hot in my experience changes PSI less then 5 psi… which doesn’t change much for me with the ranges that I run.
What are your thoughts on balance beads? I just had a set of AT4W's mounted and balanced and I have a decent shake at highway speeds. I'm considering giving the Counteract tire balance beads a try.
You can add alcohol to window washer fluid so it doesn't freeze
I try, but I keep drinking it before it makes it to the car!!
@@ryankim3612 🤣
Not all alcohol is the same when trying to use it as an antifreeze. Plus if you do not use enough alcohol the alcohol will simply condense allowing the water to freeze. Putting cheap alcohol in the freezer is a poor mans way of getting higher proof alcohol, the water freezes out leaving the alcohol behind.
@@1a1u0g9t4s2u ok put 1 cup of sugar to 1 gallon of water mix until diluted ...
Ratchet strap around the circumstance pushes the sidewall out
Could you look at 110/120V tankless air compressors for hybrids like the new Landcruiser and Tacomas? They should be available way cheaper and more powerful. Maybe even look at cheap harbor freight air compressors and then removing and capping the tank connection?
Great.
Brilliant video cheers big bother, muy buena informacion 🍻🍻🍻
Keep the plugs in a baggie, (air tight). Cobey valve stems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great advice
I think for the cost of wheel adapters, you could just go to the junkyard and buy a mostly worn out spare tire to put on a rim when out in the trail
The issue for a lot of vehicles is space… most my Jeep friends don’t have room for a spare….
Yeap, purchased a set of OEM “take off” rims for my Colorado so I could run the same size spare as the tire I am running. That tire in the beginning you said was completely flat…….It wasn’t. It was only flat on the bottom. 😂😂🤪🤪.
You speak of limited slip diffs like you can disable them. Not sure which ones qualify. ARBs and Yukons can be turned on and off, but they LOCK. So would it not make more sense to put the odd size tire on the front where there is typically not a limited slip?
Can I ask what that hose reel system is that you have. Small enough to fit in your hand. I like that and would like to get one. Thanks
I would never put a different size tire on the back. I would make sure it's in the front. It's a great way to ruin a gear ring set. Put in the front you can keep the rear locked, and not have to worry. You take it out of 4wd, and there's going to be no damage up front, but if you keep the wrong sizesin the rear you're gonna fry it
It would depend on a lot of variables, especially the surfaces you are driving on…
Would you recommend having the same rim too for the spare or as long as the tire equal to the same size as the other ones?
My twin ARB has been under the hood for three years and so far I have had zero issues with it. Time will tell I suppose.
Going on 4 years with mine under the hood. No issues.
I do a two tire fill at a time. I didn't want to fight with 4 hoses. 2 hoses then if one fails I have a back up.
We beaded a tire with saw fuel once. It worked. But that's not what normally use.
My buddy used axe body spray once....
