Casey, you’re awesome thanks very much for all your cool videos. I am a mechanic from Ontario and I work for the Ontario Provincial Police and I think your wheel installation guide is fantastic. Keep up the good work.👍😉
If that's the case,,,You know why Cliffy can't run'em here in Ontario.
Looks absolutely wild! Excited to see the AUX button kit install
Great Video! Finally getting ready to do mine!
Great video! It sounds like the new ICON Innerlock rims are DOT compliant. They seem like the easiest to deal with for on and off road.
Polished looks good, it's just a high maintenance surface, depending on region, minerals in the mud and so on
I didn’t know groggy flips likes wheeling also that’s awesome. Great video bro
Hey Casey, videos are great. As far as wheel protection for polished aluminum, or really any wheels, I would definitely recommend a ceramic coating from Shine Supply, they actually make a ceramic coating for suspension and wheels, and it's actually called "Beadlock". It's a kit for around $100 (US) and it will do about 4 complete sets (5) of wheels.
Nice! Ill look it up. Thanks!
I do believe you meant Galvanic Corrosion, with dissimilar metals in contact. It really is only an issue when an electrolyte is present. Ran into more times than I can count when I was a plumber. People use copper fittings directly onto a steel water inlet/outlet of a water heater all the time, instead of using a di-electeic union like they should.
that’s a relief. I thought you were going to raz us about the 2 1/4” galv. nails bent over to clamp up the copper lines. phew !😅
@@blueman5924 🤣 that too, or using steel conduit hangers or steel pipe strap to hold it up instead of the copper nail/hanger.
I believe they own Fuel as well... My Fuel Beadlocks came with the same WheelPros Insert. All mine are torqued to 25ftlbs... Love my Beadlocks.
They do and a few others.
Polished on JL Forsure. Always keep my torque wrench at the foot pounds I use. Never had a problem.
I've always seen the advice of zeroing out your torque wrench also but there's no way it has anything to do with spring fatigue. Springs fatigue with cycling not compression. This is why you can leave 30 round AR mags loaded for years and have no issues. Perhaps it's just good as it reminds you to exercise your torque wrench everytime you use it.
I kinda feel like you should forgo the lift, keep those wheels/tires tucked at a ~22.5 degree angle off camber and then add some ground light effects with the taser jl light show and just restrict your off-roading to the mall... money saved for all that fuel your burning. lol, J/king. Those wheels/tires look amazing man! Awesome build!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ive been liking running around with a ridiculous shop truck
Looks sick love the aluminum with the grey!!
Thx. Im diggin the clean look
Keep up the good work!
Galling when threads seize on two types of metal. Pressure and friction build up. That’s where anti seize comes in.
Polished ring and the rest with body paint match powder coating with clear coat and before mounting the tires have them ceramic coated. Mud,dust and dirty road grime will be easily removed without excessive force.
Light bright has a good video on that topic he showed the difference between new and used and he was going to seal the new ones
Awesome build !! I wish there were more modes for my 2022 Colorado ZR-2, that I could afford to keep up with beast of a jeep
I also have a zr2 and ii is sad how little the aftermarket support there is for these trucks. I build bumpers,skid plates racks everything myself. You have one dompany making 4:56 gears and they are always on backorder.
My buddy has one. We went to Moab and all he did was put 33s on it. He did very well.
I daily drive the same KMC beadlocks on 40s and never had an issue. Great wheels.
100% I know several others who like them a lot too.
It has been 7 months any problems?
Gonna look good !
I do 2 full circles every other bolt with a light duty ugga dugga, then 2 more times hitting every bolt, then on to the torque wrench. everytime one gets tight the 2 next to it get loose
One thing to note in places where bead locks are not street legal a lot of tire shops won’t balance them. One way to get around this is to use BB’s or they also make specific tire balancing beads.
Edit: great video though thank you for the content, wheels look great!
Great point! Ive found finding anywhere go balance 40s also a challenge lol.
In the States you should be able to take them into any Discount Tire and they'll balance them for you - as a company they made the decision to go ahead and balance them but they won't mount them from what I've heard. Issue is I think they're all privately owned so there's going to be some that still won't do it. They'll definitely do it if they aren't on the truck though, but that's a pain most of the time.
How wide is that tire mounted? I'm curious about storing a spare in the limited space I have in my truck bed
They look awesome Casy
Thanks!
You can also have what is called galling to occur. If so, it will be impossible to be able to remove the fasteners...
Must be nice. I ordered 5 Nitto Trail Grapplers that size in July of 2020. I am still waiting on my 5th tire. I don't believe I will ever buy Nitto again.
What lift are you running? I have a rock krawler lift and anything other than a 3.5 backspacing it rubs.
That would look so good on the JL EcoD. 😍
It does! I might have to steal the Ginger nomads lol
If you've ever owned a drum kit and the tightening method is almost exactly the same for drum heads.
Which KMCs are these? Wheel measurements also if you don’t mind? Thank you, loved the video.
They are KMC grenades. 17in with I think the 0 offset
What lift are you going with? I run Evo Enforcer stage 2 with King shocks. Supposed to be 3 inches but is actually 4.5 inches. Love the look of polished aluminum with the Grey nice choices 👌 👍.
Staytuned on the lift. The goal is 4.5 to 5in over factory, but there is a bit of lift that will come from the axles as well. I haven't run this lift but i've been working with this company for a quite a while if you want to take a guess ;)
Nice looking wheels. Loving this Gladiator build. #JTRSPARTACUS
I ran 35 1250s on 8 inch rim or 10+ years on my TJ air down to 3 pounds in the winter for snow Wheeling never had a tire come off the bead. and my nickname was leadfoot.
Casey, did you go with balance beads or find a shop to balance them with weights?
Were you able to get the wheels balance? Did they tell you that they’ll never really be balanced?
Pretty awesome . Breaks up color with aluminum.
There is a red dot on the side of the tire, line that up with the valve stem for better balance. Balance beads, I just had them installed 8 oz. Per tire on my 38.5 x11x15 boggers on cheap steel wheels weigh 92 lbs each. Still getting some steering wheel shake so I might add more beads. I didn't see you put beads in ?
I got them balanced. They took 9oz to 20oz each and balanced really well. Barely fit on the balancer lol
Love the hood.
Great video as always. Curious if you've swapped your axles for Dana 60/80 to handle the bigger/heavier wheels and tires? What about the brakes, steering stuff, etc.? I was at EJS, going to Colorado in Aug.
What size are the wheels with the offset?
There are "street legal" beadlocks out there. I would love to get a pair of Hutchinson Rock Monster beadlocks. For two reasons. There a true beadlock (inner and outer are sealed). And are DOT compliant in the states.
The Hutchinsons are great, I have a variant on my M1102 trailer which uses the HMMWV steel double beadlocks with a run flat insert. However keep in mind the Hutchinsons are HEAVY. Like a good bit heavier than even a standard beadlock wheel. Something to take into consideration.
@@vdub5818 aev also has dot beadlocks. They do not recommend them for the street but they do have the dot stamp on the back.
It is my understanding, that AEV are Like the mopar beadlocks, they are only DOT approved under conventional mounting with the ring affixed as a rash ring. Both wheels can be mounted as a regular wheel or beadlock.
@@Casey250 aev website Please note: Although the Crestone wheel with the Beadlock Ring is DOT compliant, it is not necessarily permitted for street usage in every state in the United States. BEFORE purchasing, double-check state and local limitations on Beadlock installation and use. The law you have to look for is regarding 2 piece rims.
@@Casey250 The Hutchinson wheels do not have an outer (rash) ring. And are street legal. Do not know what a mopar or aev beadlocks are.
I missed it; what is the total over factory lift that you are running to mount 40's? Also, what do you think is the minimum lift to run 40's?
I haven't said yet. I believe we are going to try Metalcloaks 4.5in 392 springs up front, and 5.5in in the rear. I am looking for about 4.5in of lift. We may need to play around with springs on this build to get it right.

HI Casey, was there a reason why you did not go with the ICON Alloys Rebound PRO that you did a video on a few months ago?
they do not make an 8 lug in them at this time, i'd love to give them a shot if they do make them
I never even knew this type of will setup existed.
Tire and wheel weight is calculated under "un-sprung weight". If you plan on the Jeep doing any crawling at all, you want more un-sprung vs. sprung weight. Sprung weight is the weight that is riding on the suspension and un-sprung is everything that isn't on the suspension, so wheels and axles. The heavier the wheels and axles, the less likely you are to tip over. Fuel economy is an afterthought since you opted for a V8, so you'll need to get real with yourself at some point about fuel economy.
You should see the unsprung weight the wheels will be bolted to ;)
What you have to lookout for are road blocks with dot commercial inspectors. If you are stopped in one you are screwed. You will be heading for a full inspection.
Never seen one of those in my life
@@buffalobmf boundary has them set up al, the time at midway scales. Usually in the summer
I really hate those titles, 'Don't do this until you watch this' which only ever amount to, 'you should do this'
I hate the algorithm too but I spend a ton of time putting videos together to provide information to you guys and if I don't play nice with how RUclips works, they videos will get tucked away in a dark corner and not shown to everyone who might be interested. Its a tough game :(
is that -12mm Backspacing? what made you choose that? Is it because you dont want to much tire outside the fender? Canada laws im assuming?!
Its the appropriate backspacing and offset for my new wider axlea.
Ive been running Hutchinson Rock Monsters ( powder coated red) with 37" KM3s on my 2018 JLUR for 4 years. I check the wheel nuts and lug nuts before ever trip and have never found one loose. The one big problem with this wheel combo is the weight of the wheels. At 153 lbs. , if i had to change out spare there is no way i could lift it back up on DOD tire carrier. Just have to wrap a chain around it and drag it behind jeep.Gentlemen...travel safely and be ever VIGILANT!...West Virginia Overlander in the USA...
--(O|||||||O)--
Thats something with the Gladiator vs Wrangler. The spare is a lot easier to chuck in the bed.
Wish you talked prices cus this is out of all average persons budget, some forged beadlocks are $1000 per wheel. Gorgeous new wheel and tire package though Casey! 🤘🇨🇦
4k is what I paid for my rig !!
Of course then it was a shit load of wrenching and money to turn it into something. Over 50 trails run now.
Ill do a build break down once we get a little further along.
What are the wheels? Size, etc.?
Same wheels, tires on my sting gray gladiator. Mine are 38s Tho
Nice!!
What wheels are they exactly? Are they the 234 or 235s?
Atlas transfer case please!
I need to blow up this one first.
40s!!!!❤❤❤❤
new wheels look deadly.
lol these are actually a necessity and drag racing, if you are making 1000+hp, you absolutely need beadlocks especially if you are racing prep.
Guy, you're the one who got me interested in the Icon Rebound Pros, DOT approved beadlocks. I know from one of your older videos that beadlocks aren't street legal in Canada. Why aren't you running Icon Rebound Pros? There aren't enough reviews out there on them as it is, you should definitely hook up with Icon Vehicle Dynamics, maybe they'll give you a discount or possibly even some free wheels! ;)
They don't make 8lug versions
Oh, well, there is that! XD ;)
Use food grade anti seize no mess
Link? 😎🤣
what wheels are they? Casey250

might be a little late... But clear powder coat
Ive looked into clear powder cloat for other things in the past and from what others have seemed to experience is still getting oxidizing under the clear.
Hey Casey, just a thought, you were trying to show us the inner edge of your tires on your spare… while it wasn’t easy seeing it the way you were trying to, you could’ve just opened your swing gate. 😂
yep - that 100% occured to me during editing lol.
I will assume that you're doing axle swap. Cause old the jeep you have in you video are 5 lug and the new wheels are 8 lug
We did yes.
Work at a Autobody shop and have a personal built one so it draws in a lot of jeep people who have been in accidents and want it fixed and or upgraded while it’s being repaired. Long story short the insurance company will only look into beadlocks if it was cause or accident like tire fell off and struck Someone because they lost control. Have not personally heard of that yet most time it’s just people who smash it up on trail and say a deer hit them lmfao guess the deer have some sharp ass teeth that look like rocks
"HEY KIDS, LOOK A ROCKET SCIENTIST!" WTF? AND YOU REALLY HAVE FOLLOWERS. ONLY 5?
I honestly don’t like anything polished. I would color match the Mojave Orange.
Do you just use regular anti-seize? Nothing special?
Just your favorite anti sieze that gets on everything lol
legalities second
Please 'delete' this comment ;)
First like? First comment? Both!?
Notification squad 👍🏽
👊👊👊 appreciate you
I think I now have anti seize on my TV
Me too
Now, without even watching the hole video, you've got new axles coming, last I checked, 8 lug and 5 lug are not compatible, unless your going to use adapters which is laughable.
those are obviously for the 1 ton axes fool
I believe I mentioned we are useing a 60/80 axle set
I love when people speak out of turn....and do it so arrogantly. 🤦
Come on Casey the gnerls as you called them prevent your tire from spinning on the rim at low pressure causing imbalance. I thought you would know that?
Don't buy bead locks if you plan to drive on public roads. They are not DOT approved in the states and I think Canada too.. Besides there are street legal alternatives from Icon and Method. If you have to have bead locks Hutchinson Rock Monster Bead locks are street legal. I'm running them on my JT now. Running bead locks got expensive for me so. I was told to trailer my jeep home(I didn't ). I tend to warn people of the legality if your going to daily your jeep.
Cliffy figures it's because the coppers tire spike belts still wouldn't stop "US",,,
It looks like a clown car with those cartoon tires and wheels.
TPMS? Never heard of her... 🎉😅
Don't tell me what to do with my money.
Don't tell me what to tell you
Put my Colorado against that jeep any day in the bush kid
Why didn’t you go with double sided beads ?
Casey, did you go with balance beads or find a shop to balance them with weights?
They have nothing and run perfectly smooth.
@@Casey250 Cool!
