- Save yourself some money if you have a welder and build it yourself. Saves approximately 80 bucks and the DIY kits arrive much much quicker from Lucid.
Would be great if you included the product link in the description. Maybe you didn't because their DIY weld up kit is $324.00 LOLOL. WHAT A JOKE.
Do I look like a joke to you? WTF? People that need links in a description on something that can EASILY be searched are helpless and I have no use for you.
@@PNW_Car_Mods The vast majority of people on RUclips who make a video about a specific product do the cordial thing of including a link to said product and you know this. I obviously looked it up. And you must have a use for me or you wouldn't be making videos in hopes of views. Thumbs down pal.
@@oldowl4290 Thumb down me all you want. People that know me know I don't do youtube for any kind of gain. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. You didn't have to watch. I don't promote this channel, I don't beg people to watch, I don't beg people to subscribe, I don't beg people to share, and I don't care if you like it or not. Just do it for the fun of it.
Can't get my drain plug loose and you're doing this kinda bs! Love watching the vids, you're a very talented dude Black.
Much appreciated kind sir!
Interesting idea with the welded nut on top of the post. Here's an idea to expand on it. You can attach a torque multiplier to the nut. The arm of the torque multiplier can then be used to push/ rotate the horizontal arm. Then you need to find a way of mounting a drill motor to the torque multiplier, along with a foot pedal for controlling the motor. This would give you a powered tire changer and the ability to free up your hands.
I'm pretty sure somebody has successfully done this. Could be a fun project to try some day.
Glad to see the professional still has time to help the old man out sometimes 🤣
Yeah that is for sure.
It got the tire off and back on, so it’s absolute grade A ! I wish I had room for enough vehicles to make use and of such a device 😅
We got some more challenging jobs to do with this thing BAT! Should make for much better entertainment haha.
Use a magnet to hold bead breaker up
I definitely need to try this! that being said I've been using a bungee cord with good success. You just have to take it off when you are done with the bead breaking process.
what are the measurements for the adapter?
Which parts?
The lucid adapter
the 2 square tubes
@@abrahamchapa6862 so it is 1/8th inch wall 2x2 telescoping tubing that is around 11.5 inches long. The other piece that holds the duck head tube that does the telescoping is 2 3/4 inch long.
I recently foolishly bought the Harbor Freight tire changer, and realized that by the time I bought/built the "Mod" mechanism, I would be better off just buying a used beater professional tire changer.
There is no reason Harbor Freight couldn't have included the functionality of the common modifications (such as the Lucid) for a reasonable price.
Nice video, but this approach is a total waste of time and money.
I agree up and to a point. before bidenonomics went full ape shit I was going to buy the mayflower combo and start doing some side work with it for fun. But the more I procrastinated the more the prices rose. Then after pondering it even more I just don't have logical space to put a modern tire machine. I can find space for a balancer but not both. Used commercial machines tend to go for 800-1200 here. I've got 400 or so wrapped up into this setup. I'm looking forward to playing around with it some more on tires that most wouldn't tackle with it. 18s 19s 20s and lower profiles like 35 series. We'll see how it goes. If I don't like it I know I can sell it for a small loss and move on.
@@PNW_Car_Mods Makes sense, and every dollar counts. I too am having to make tough choices thanks to the predictable results of mind boggling gov spending, abusive regulatory environment and emphasis on disassociation of merit and opportunity.
