Does his method help at all?



Setting it up as a beadlock. Bead is outside the “rim”. Trying to get it to sit flat on the external “bead” of the wheel is the tricky part. You have to stretch the bead of the tire over the wheel. It’s a pain in the dick. It feels like the tire is too small for the wheel. (I know this isn’t the case but it’s the best way to describe it) when you try to spoon it on eventually the other side just pops off. It seems like you need to pin down the bead in 5-6 places as you work your way around the tire. I just don’t have enough hands to do it.

@Jeepeto - Sorry I haven’t chimed in on this yet, I’ve built at least 50 or 60 headlocks in the past.

Put the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket with a blanket on it. This way the tire sags down and is a lot less likely to pop off one side when getting the opposite side on. With it sitting on the ground the tire wants to pop up.

21 Rubicon two door. 2.0 Turbo.
After a long stressful day due the insurance company accidentally canceling my old policy instead of taken my old vehicle off and putting a hold on it. They had to make a new one last second so I could get my whip!! It’s amazing!!

Well damn, my bad, I didn’t look close enough. I haven’t had them fight me that bad before but then again 95% of the ones I have done have been BFG’s so maybe the Yokohama bead is different.

See… I was wondering if the lube might have been hurting me. I kept seeing stuff saying to use a bunch. But I eventually tried to wipe most of it off because I started feeling like it was helping the other side of the bead pop up more than it was helping me pry the bead on. That makes it look WAY easier than my wheel tire combo though. My setup needs to stretch to fit. I’ll see if leaving it to dry out over night helps any

It’s on a bucket. I’ll try again tomorrow and report back

@joegrasse @wesjtx

Well. Wiped everything down and tried it dry. It’s still a pain in the butt, but I was able to get it mounted. Thanks for the help guys! I’ve got it pinned down with 4 bolts for tonight, I’ll finish the ring in the morning and see what the clearance looks like with factory “lift”, and what the tailgate carrier looks like with 37x12.5

Thanks again guys!

Now, I would like all of the haters that were being Debbie downers when the first pic hit the other day to leave your apologies here :) I went White/White/Black just like my 2018. Yours is BA. Congrats, that stance is what I hoped it would look like. Not too much, not too little. Congrats. Ship mine already..........

You’re going to be thrilled with the looks. I promise.

Story time:

I took the Jeep to lunch today. Top off, all clean and new, and parked it up front at the restaurant. I sat down to eat by a window, so I could look at the Jeep. (Tell me I’m not the only one that does this.) Every single group that walked by checked it out. From young men to retired ladies. Every time a group would walk by, at least one person would turn to get a good look at it. It definitely has a presence for a factory vehicle.

This is why I started this thread. All of these pics dropping and they look amazing. @Jeepeto's Red, the Sarge, Gecko and White that popped up today. Outstanding!! Lets me know I'm fine on factory 35's until they wear out, then we will see about 37's. Let's see how @Jeepeto 37's work out tomorrow. Pretty sure they will be great without looking stuffed with no rubbing. Worried about the tire carrier. Any way, thanks for posting fellers. I'm still sitting in JB with a build sheet, no sticker, ordered 7/12. They obviously built the painted tops and soft tops first :) But I aint jelly, happy for you guys. Tomorrows Saturday, stay off this forum and go topless somewhere.......... but take pics along the way :)
