$8 Tire Mounter & Back-Saver

My buddy taught me a trick that makes life easy. I *can* lift my 39s on beadlocks while standing, but its annoying, especially on the front where the hub just want to spin and run away from me.

The trick is to just sit on your ass and use your legs to assist. Makes it much easier.

Like you, I used to be a competitive powerlifter (not for decades, I'm only 29) and I'm still probably way stronger than most people, but I don't like to exert effort when not necessary.

You covered what I was going to say.

Also glad I am not the only one who hated putting a 37 inch spare on. I was like "Good God I have let myself go..."

I use my feet. I roll the wheel and tire combo up on my feet. You have a crazy amount of leverage in your ankles. You can pick the wheel and tire combo up in place that way. My current combo is 170 pounds or so. The combo before that was 205.

Have any of you used the shovel trick for mounting your tires on your Jeep?

Just put the tire on the shovel, push the end of the shovel down, it will lift the tire so that you can slide it onto the axle.

Brilliant.
