I'm just testing to see if we can. Got the custom wheels going over here. Need some big old Mickey Thompson tires, suicide as they are. 19 and a half by 46 by 21 into 2. So right here, we just put on a brand new set of Nitto G3S right here on this truck. Look how big that tire is compared to. Look at standing up. What are you, about six foot tall? Look how big that tire is. That's craziness. I don't do that. Don't. Yeah. Next. Do not do that. Don't do that. Too much room for error, that. So this what I would do first is lube that very top bead. Let's bring it all the way out. Lube that top, be slide it on there. That way we can get it back up under here and mount it. That's going to be the best way for these. These big, wide ones. 8 load, but they're going on a jean. Should I do high pressure or. No, just put high pressure. Yeah, just. Yeah, just. Cause. How much air pressure is this? But, man, good date. Normal pressure or high pressure? Yeah. They're going on a jeep, so put about 50 psi in them. You have a stand in there if you want the stand. Have a who? A stand? I'm on two different ones. Oh, well, at least you could put one on the stand. Maybe. Close that door down. Okay. These are directional also. Yep. Mount the first one. Whoever cares? Doesn't matter. Mount the first two. Doesn't matter. Second two is what matter. Yeah, Take a look. Crap off of there. All right, everybody, y' all want us to stay online, you got to make sure you're sharing it, make sure you're liking it. That way you get to see the final result. After we mount these things up, then we got a big old special balancer down at the bottom to. To balance these big old things close. Not everybody can balance them. Most of y' all gonna stick beads in those, and that ain't the way to do it. Yeah, Help them get up on there, and. I should be able to push it right on. All right. Go from the other side from the duckhead. See what I'm saying? If not, we're had to put on another rim clamp machine. Go up under the duck head. Yeah, There you go. Yeah. Spinning around. Get up under the dug. I got two people staring at you. If they'll just help you out, you can do it. Yeah. Yeah. There's two people just staring at you. There you go. Flip the tire up. Flip tire up. There you go. There you go. See what I mean now? There you go. Instead of staring at him, let's. Let's. Let's help them out. There we go. That easy. Big one. Make him get it in there. He's gonna put that duck head down. Look at that. Yeah. You need to go right here. Pick that back up. There you go. There you go. Roll the room. That's how you mount them up with no problem. Now we're gonna blow them up with a big old beat cedar. No problem. So we'll get two people on each side. We'll have somebody with the beater, and we'll blow her. I don't realize these American. We get this thing blown up, we'll get it off of the machine. We'll show you exactly what it looks like, is the core out of there. We'll get two people on each side. So now you're gonna have one cheetah right there. Big old B Bazooka. And then we're gonna bring out the big dog right here. The big one. Yep. How far you got it up on that side? Just enough. It's right by the drop center, or where the drop center would be. Probably like that. My cup of. Now you bring it down more. Yep, just. Just enough up over that lip just a little bit. All right, Give us a minute. Takes a minute to fill a big old tank up right there. Hey, we're gonna need two of y' all here in a second, so give us just a minute. All right. How we looking? How many pounds we got in that thing? That's it. £27. Oh, well, let's bring that thing over here. That's way too slow. What's the biggest tire you have done? This is it right here. 46. 19 and a half by 46 by 20. So it's 46 inch tall. This is the biggest tire that we've done here in the store. 30 by 16 on a. 42? Yeah. 30 by 16 on a. On a what? 42. Yeah. 42 by about 30. Still waiting on this thing to blow up so we can see the bead. What kind of change are we using? We're using the Hunter Hunter Maverick to change it. That way you don't have any. Any clamp like this one right here is a ramp clamp. You don't want to use these type of machines on those wheels. Can you use them? Yeah, and you just have a higher probability of scratching those wheels. So we don't do that. Do you have a cheetah? Yeah, we got something better than that. Look at that big one. And look at that big one. You need another person, yo? Nope. Before you moving, let me see where you at. Yep. It's too high. Too high. Remember, I told you guys it's got to be right above that lip. Now we're just waiting on this thing to get seated again. Let's go. Looks like we're putting a new set of tires here. What we put on here, like we're taking some old radars off. Put some little ridge graps, taking the old radar. I told everybody about these radar tires. Everybody was all about them because they were brand new. I'm a trendsetter. I told these things will not sell for long. Look at that. Putting the ridges on there. All right, see, you need another person, Yo, I need one of y'. All. You got that roller all the way off. All the way. Take it all the way off. There you go. Now, one person on that side, one person on this side. Then y' all can blast the bead. You where. That's too much. That's too much. Come up a little bit with it. 3, 2, 1. There we go. We've seen it. Keep going. Get that air to it, baby. Let's go. That's how you see the beads on it. Now, once we get this thing out, we're gonna let you see what it's gonna look like. Mount it up. This is why you come to us. We are the best. You ain't got to worry about scratches all on the wheels. You ain't got to worry about none of that. We're going to do it right the first time, or we ain't going to do it at all. That's a damn standard, son. No hearing protection. Yeah, you probably need it, Mr. Kev. We don't need hearing protection. We can hear pretty good. Ain't that right? Yeah, that's right. He's got eye protection. Ah, he should have used protection down there. He's got three kids. No, I don't. Look at this one. Jesus age Christ. We got six kids, Cammy. Hear your, sir? Yeah, these guys are. Are definitely not buying these things to be quiet. They're going on a big old jeep, which y'. All. Y' all ain't gonna be able to see them on a jeep because he still got to get this thing lifted up another five more inches. What? No, I'm gonna make a video on it, too. Yeah, I'm doing live to show. It's after this. Hellcat engine. Thank you. All right, about to disengage the air. We're going to disconnect all this stuff. Let's get three people to lift this thing up, And then we're gonna flip it over this way. We're gonna show you what these things look like. There we go. Look at that. That's what it looks like right there. Stand beside that thing. Look at gears, you know? Good lord, look how big that wheel and tire is. Look at that. No scratches, no scrapes. None of that stuff. That's why you come to us. And we're gonna get all that white paste off of there, too. Make sure y' all giving us a follow a Subs what do you charge to mount that tire? I think we charge them, huh? $100 a tire, I think. Was it $100 a tire to mount? Balance these things. Nobody else can do it around us. All right, now, we showed you that. Now I got to go make a video on. On. On all the other stuff. So I appreciate y' all coming into the live. We going to come live later. Appreciate y'. All.
