I picked up a screw in the tread, 1" from the edge but still in the tread, and shops refused repair. So I went to a truck tire shop and the young twit behind the counter refused repair so I told him to put in a tube after patching the tire. Nope, said the young twit but an old mechanic passed by and told him to order the tube. I then used it as the spare, It was a new Rubicon with 7k miles on Goodyear MTR tires which at that time cost over $200 each. I am 76 and we frequently had tubed tires on our trucks. I also tore a valve stem at a Jeepers Jamboree and the repair kit would have been helpful but I made it to the repair camp where they fixed it for me. Now to go buy the kit and thank you for a great video.
@@bleepinjeep I know but they could have offered a solution rather than immediately give me a price for a new tire. The screw was in the tread and 1" from its edge so I believe that they were more interested in $200 vx $28 for the repair and tube.
2 Colby valves on Amazon $25 Plug kit bought most anyplace $10 WITH TOOLS!!!! Patch kit and glue $10 on the high side. This kit? $105 through bleepin Jeep and $125 direct from maker. Build your own for $50 or less.
Repaired a tire that had 2 nails in it. The first plug was inserted easily while there was still air pressure. When inserting the 2nd plug there was nearly zero air pressure and inserting the plug was significantly more difficult. Great video thanks for sharing.
milestar is one of the only manufacturers supporting offroaders anymore, we should be praising them so they can build a stronger better tire rather than laying into them, I do agree tho, they need to work on there sidewalls
@@teranitupfpv the owner is a dickhead who doesn’t take criticism well. Influencers have made videos of their tires having issues and he blasts them on social media. Sorry hope they fail. Don’t need a company gaslighting the end user then changing the design of the whole tire and never admitting fault.
@@teranitupfpv If we praise them, they'll sit and they won't improve anything. If we criticize them, they'll be motivated to fix their tires so they don't get punctured.
That may repair the tyre to get you off a trail but that can't be trusted, any sidewall puncture will fail in a short period of time, a patch will not flex like the tyre and that is a dangerous repair on a sidewall. Remember people viewing this temporary get you off the trail repairs, replace the tyre as soon as possible!
Matt, I had got a set of 5 tires years ago then that weekend ripped one open and puncture another. Safety Seal plugged them both. Both were in sidewalls, half dozen in the cut one and 2 in other. The kick in the n##s was the tire maker stopped making that pattern of tires only one was available. So one became a spare the plugs held until I replaced with new set after numerous years. Part of reason was I didn't run but 25 psi in the tires anytime at most. It's good to see "extended patch kits" out now. The factory tires on my JT i had started getting many punctures due to road construction, i ended up with over half dozen of the Safety Seal plugs in one tire in a week, just from driving to work. On 3rd set now in 3.5 years.
I got a nail in my new tire a year ago, I didn't have plugs with me so I used a trick we used on our quads .I took a stainless steel screw and ran it in till it was just sinking in to the surface .it's been in there since ,but I do have a plug kit in my truck now.
Thanks for making that video pretty cool!!! didn’t know you could do that!! didn’t know there was glue strong enough to hold a patch on the outside pretty cool!!
That is pretty cool, I thought for sure you would rip that sidewall patch off lol. I used to work at DTC and sidewalls were always off limits, but it's neat to see they finally make a product that actually works, although, I would only use this in a pinch on the road or off-road, but I would never keep driving around on them and I would get it replaced ASAP as it is not a permanent solution. That all being said I would definitely keep that product in all my rigs seeing what it was just put through.
Ya it holds really well, Ive completed whole weekends on these patches before. This one we wheeled about half a day on it and it was still holding strong on the way home.
Technically. All plugs and patches are off limits. I don't know of a tire manufacturer that recommends a patch or plug. That being said any tire with a plug or patch immediately voids any warranty due to manufacturer defect And technically all future liability goes to the person who patched the tire. Thats why these plugs/patches specifically say not for on road use. Off road use only.
@@robertragsdale6955Technically, coming from someone that has worked in the field for 6 years and repaired hundreds of tires and never had a repair come back, I can say your statement is not factual and all manufacturer warranties are handled at store level for the customer, that being said, your manufacturer's warranty only covers defects that are caused in manufacturing and they end up going back to the tire distribution center like American Tire Distributors and most companies like DTC (Discount Tire Co) offer some sort of tire hazard certificates that cover any damage to the sidewall, the plugs are just as strong as the original rubber they came with when installed correctly. (Remove foreign object, drill rasp hole, use DTC tire plug coated in tire cement glue, cut plug flush inside, grind inside of repair area, scrap area, vacuum inside, use tire cement glue on inside repair area, place tire patch inside, use stitcher, use Xtra Seal Tire Repair Cement, then clip other side of plug on outside of tire flush with the tire surface so it can't be ripped out). Last time i repaired a tire was 2012 and this was the industry standard repair at the time.
I once had to use 20 or so of those plugs to get off the trail when a railroad spike went through my tire. We had run down a short run of track to my favorite swimming hole at a tressle. I just kept putting more in until it stopped leaking. While is it not the best to double them up or use multiple, they got me home and I swapped that tire out since this was my daily driver truck.
The tire plug kit is $10 at autozone and a patch kit is $12 so $22. Comes with everything in this kit, including a metal scouring disk vs a handful of sandpaper. Also comes with a nice tin to store it all in. Must be some proprietary blend of chineseium he’s selling here….
Try to get air back into the tire while you are putting the plug in. The air pressure will help the tire to not give way as you push the plug in. I've plugged 100's of tires.
That looks like a great idea, but absurdly expensive. They would be making a killing at half that price. I guess compared to a spare it's cheap insurance. Glad I don't do this kind of off roading anymore.
I have brand new falken r/t01 38’s I got a screw in rear tire on the big tread knob that was a mother fucker to push the plug through! But it worked obviously and still good

Hi Mat, what is the shelf life of these kits? How long can you store them before they go bad?
I'm not positive on that, they used to have an activator that did have a shelf life but they stopped using that and told me the kits now don't have an expiration date. So I'm just gonna guess as long as the plugs are still tacky and glue is still wet which i assume should be a really long time.
There is a glue/slime for the tire plugs that make it much easier for the plug to slide into to hole so you dont have to hammer it in, im shocked the kit doesn't have it and even more shock you didnt know about it ... look up tire plug glue
This is much safer than ramming a dozen plugs into a sidewall 😂 it doesnt have to be safe to get yoy back off the trail, as long as its a temporary fix. 🤙
@@bleepinjeep I used the pattern they include on the card in their sidewall repair kit, and in my opinion this is the weakness of the whole concept. Putting it in dots creates a bunch of channels for air to escape if you don't get the sidewall tear perfectly sealed when you glue it closed in the first steps. It looks as if a nice clean knife cut to the smooth part of a sidewall would seal up fine, but I don't have many knives flying at my tires on the trail and the sidewall cuts I have had to deal with are all ragged and in the area around and in between the side lugs. Two of the 3 patches failed (started leaking air out the sides of the patch) immediately, the third as soon as I started driving and flexed the patch. Another thing I see as a weakness is that the glue is basically super glue and gets brittle when it dries. It does adhere well to the tires, when I pulled one patch off using vice grips it pulled away some tire rubber with it where the glue dots had stuck, but crunchy glue isn't going to allow a whole lot of tire flex now is it? I want to like this product but unfortunately I don't have confidence in it after trying it.
question for you. I'm having issues with my 90 xj not shifting. can you give me more information on what mods you did to the scorpion trans to allow you to shift it manually? I've tried changing the tps, looked for bad grounds, checked shift soleniods. no luck. I have to pull the trans computer fuse to allow me to shift it manually, but that only gives me gears 1 and 3. looking for a solution to give me all the gears. thank you
The side wall repair is temporary at best. A common rule in patching most leaks with water, and similar with air.. If you want to keep water in something like a bucket, a tub, a pool. Put the patch on the inside.. if you're trying to keep water out like a roof or Windows then the seal should be on the outside.. That's my opinion
Watch out for the cheap plastic i had reamed it and was pushing the plug in and was pushing hard when the handle broke and stabbed my hand with the plastic.
This kit is for people who have more money than brains. $100 for $10 worth of tire repair options, and all they can do is put it in a ziplock bag? No thanks🤷♂️🇺🇲
You should never fix a side wall puncture because of flexing! The right way would be to dismount the tire and do the repair from the inside when you got home! Or better yet to buy a new tire if punctured from the outside!
I don't think I've ever put a big slice in an offroad tire in a nice smooth featureless sidewall. There are always side lugs in the area which would make your technique useless and your claim ANY flat tire just wrong.
Depends on the tire, but you're gonna have to fix it somehow. If it's in a side tread area that's where the tire grinder i showed comes in. Or a flap disk would work too.
It's not bad. I live in Australia. to get a puncher repair done, it's $45. and if it's close to the sidewall on the tread they won't repair it,tube it ect
@@benni727 I mean you can get a temporary repair kit for a lot cheaper than $105. Then you can get back to civilization and get it repaired for $45 or whatever. You shouldn’t have to pay more for a repair kit then an actual repair. If it was really bad I would rather put the money towards a new tire!

Good info if your in a pinch off roading, happy that you mentioned as an emergency and a temporary fix as parching sidewalls is very risky

Sounds like Mr Rodgers explaining how to do tire repair. I like it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Only thing id add is if you use some of the rubber cement on the rope plug you dont have to hammer them in...
Ya I forgot to mention it but I keep a can of rubber cement too in my kit, although Josh just licks them, lol.
I don't trim the plugs, I burn them. Way more permanent.

Yes this is true, the tire gives too much when its completely flat
Got a kit in my jeep. Thanks for the walk through ✌️
Of course it punctured, it's a milestar

Hey do you recommend metal or rubber valve stems for offroad? 🤔
Regular ole rubber of the short variety. They will flex and take a lot of abuse before breaking.

Been using the plugs for 20 years. I always use rubber cement on them to help lube it to get it through the tire.

I should probably get one of these kits. Can’t hurt.
$105 😬
A tire guy taught me to burn the plug tips after inserted, it helps seal it more and keeping plug in place.
Ive done that too but once it started leaking after burning it,must have burned it too much
@@bleepinjeep yes, just for a second or two to get it soft.
That's actually pretty cool, thanks!
No problem!
I am genuinely amazed that you can patch a tire with all of that damage and then rock crawl with it.
It is pretty amazing and we weren't gentle with it afterwards
Yo, that 'colby' valve looks pretty damn convenient..🤔
A wire wheel on a cordless grinder works really well for buffing a tire down as well...
I thought it was a bag of beef jerky...which is something you should also carry when off roading!!
True that
always taking the easy way on the trails, lets see a real test and take it to the mall 😂
Kneel Before Zod! And yes, I want the kit.
Thanks for this video. Will be getting it from your site

If it works it works 💪
"How do u get aiiirr on the traaail? You dumbo!" 🤣 💕👍
Tank . Back in the day some people would use their tube bumper as a low pressure air tank . Or pull a plug and use the motor as a air pump
Dam i needed one of these weeks ago !! Blew out 2 tires on a trail.
That four wheel steering looks like a lot of fun. I was always told a side wall puncture couldn't be fixed.
maybe not fixed, but certainly repaired!
Great video. I've learned a lot from watching your channel.
That was an excellent book, The Eye Of The Needle.
Wow amazing video so far definitely going to consider this kit
REALLY $105 for this kit??? COME ON MAN!!! $50 I would order one.
Guess you'll have to borrow one from a friend who takes their offroading preparedness seriously 😐
The valves are like 30$ and the other stuff maybe $20 I purchased them separately for have the price it’s a 200% mark up
Where did you get the glue and rubber patches?
Black jack tire goo, and any parts store will have rubber patches.

Some of these 42 and 43" tires can be over a thousand dollars a piece.

mornin!
HELL YEAH BROTHER 👍💯
Great information. Awesome job 👍🏻
Pretty awesome product. But what's the cost
How did you steer your rear wheels? 😲
i bet the garage will have fun with that tire when you bring it in to be replaced " what the hell did this guy do to this tire" LOL
was that a Hinderer in the thumbnail?
Do you carry the compressed air tank on the trail or do you have an onboard air compressor?
Its liquid C02 but yes, I do carry one on all my rigs. amzn.to/3yTn7X0

Hey Matt we’re can I get hood vents like you got on the commanjeep? I looked on the website but can’t find them. Thanks
They are side window vents for mustang windows. Can find on Amazon or ebay
What will happen if you get stuck or flat tire on those woods?
😂 Josh at the end
The tire shops are calling their congressmen/Senators and demanding that this stuff be taken off the market. Screw your "right-to-repair." 😂
This is much safer than ramming a dozen plugs into a sidewall 😂 it doesnt have to be safe to get yoy back off the trail, as long as its a temporary fix. 🤙
that works too, but only half the time.
I've used glue tread 3 times recently, the patches failed every time. Snake oil.
Did you use too much glue? And when you say fail, are we talking like 2 weeks later or immediately?

Hey guys, happy 4th of July!!! I clicked on the link to purchase, but there wasn't a "button" to add the product to my cart. Are you out of stock?
Good video.
But I feel so bad for people repairing the side wall like this.😂
I truly hope this is just a get off the trail type situation only.
Colby valves are very expensive you can use a normal valve they are easy to push in
Where are these places that can re-vulcanize an entire tire?
IDK what process they are using for these 40" tires but Tims Tire in Harriman can vulcanize tires.
question for you.
I'm having issues with my 90 xj not shifting.
can you give me more information on what mods you did to the scorpion trans to allow you to shift it manually?
I've tried changing the tps, looked for bad grounds, checked shift soleniods. no luck. I have to pull the trans computer fuse to allow me to shift it manually, but that only gives me gears 1 and 3.
looking for a solution to give me all the gears.
thank you
Check out Nickintimefilms, he makes a ton of stuff for XJ manual shifting!
Gosh I can't believe you're just drilling your Patagonia mile star tires and putting a knife in it. Just crazy
Mile stars are free to anyone with a following
They are garbage tires, so no harm done.
I must’ve missed it. What trail was that?
Mmmm, we hit rattle rock, then little mule, maybe some others I cant recall.
$105 is robbery for that kit.
Some of us can’t get to the grocery store without a flat tire…showoff…. 😊
you got a compressor in that bag ?
Grinding wheel make and model please? 😮
something like this: amzn.to/3yHNgIp
ALWAYS wear safety sox when doing tire repairs.
Dad socks are a huge leg up in the game.
I thought the plug kit says 'tread repair only'?..😮
Never get a flat again, stay home like me!
A tube would make that kit ultimate. And it all depends on the guy doing it lol
The side wall repair is temporary at best.
A common rule in patching most leaks with water, and similar with air..
If you want to keep water in something like a bucket, a tub, a pool. Put the patch on the inside.. if you're trying to keep water out like a roof or Windows then the seal should be on the outside..
That's my opinion
Ive done an inside patch on the trail, it sucks and is also temporary. This patch is way easier and works to get you going again and off the trail.
Watch out for the cheap plastic i had reamed it and was pushing the plug in and was pushing hard when the handle broke and stabbed my hand with the plastic.
Wooter, you'se got dat right. Fuggetaboutit!
This kit is for people who have more money than brains. $100 for $10 worth of tire repair options, and all they can do is put it in a ziplock bag? No thanks🤷♂️🇺🇲
I was always told that you can't use plugs on sidewalls. What gives?
WOOO-HOOO.....guess I just found a shitload of "new" tires out back....... Ugh.....guess not....$105.....
Your driveway needs grading.....
Your definitely gonna want to put that patch on the INSIDE later on
External side wall patch is a FAIL
Not a fail if it gets you off the trail, and you don't have to remove the tire...
if you put glue on the plug like you always should you wouldn't have to stand on it
You should never fix a side wall puncture because of flexing! The right way would be to dismount the tire and do the repair from the inside when you got home! Or better yet to buy a new tire if punctured from the outside!
I don't think I've ever put a big slice in an offroad tire in a nice smooth featureless sidewall. There are always side lugs in the area which would make your technique useless and your claim ANY flat tire just wrong.
Depends on the tire, but you're gonna have to fix it somehow. If it's in a side tread area that's where the tire grinder i showed comes in. Or a flap disk would work too.
It won't repair ANY flat tire. I put a four inch rip in a new BFG all terrain on a jagged tree stump. Always carry at least one spare tire.
Sounds like a challenge!
Or don't run weak tires... LOL
Seems like he's plugging this kit....😂
SAVE EVERYONE SOME TIME FLEX TAPE
$105 for a repair kit? That’s far too much!
It's not bad. I live in Australia. to get a puncher repair done, it's $45. and if it's close to the sidewall on the tread they won't repair it,tube it ect
@@benni727 I mean you can get a temporary repair kit for a lot cheaper than $105.
Then you can get back to civilization and get it repaired for $45 or whatever. You shouldn’t have to pay more for a repair kit then an actual repair.
If it was really bad I would rather put the money towards a new tire!
