A 19mm impact socket, an air impact wrench, and a decent air compressor go a long way. It's great for other mechanical jobs too. I can take off my tires without even thinking about it. I already have a torque wrench sitting to tighten the lugs too. Adds 5 minutes total to the job to get the tires off and on.
All power to Matts push to educate 4WDer's, but "Good habits" start with the basics should start with the begining, flat surface, secure the vehicle, in 4WD low range and handbrake, chock if necessary, loosen wheel nuts, jack high enough to put the new tyre on, check for stability, remove wheel..... come on buddy, you do a good job, but do the whole job.
David the handbrake on Toyota notoriously poor. As a constant 4WD in high range the vehicle can still roll, in low range the centre different lock is engaged, this, uses engine compression to hold the vehicle, making it more stable.
Troopy ? Yes and often... The vehicle in question is a petrol/LPG 80 series, the petrol 4.5 has low compression compared to a diesel, but irrespective of engine type....... Best practice is no accident...... RIIVEH305 - SISODRV302 are 2 of the Skill's industry training competencies and certifications... or if you like Best Practice, Just google the number and it will take you to training.gov.au Matt follows the guide lides as best he cam and even mentions at the end of the video about putting in gear and chocking wheels.
What?!?! Grease?!?! NOOOOOOOO! i'm totally not agree! with the grease the bold doesn't have the right grip, and you risk to loose it while you run, and more, you should close it too much and break the threes. The right thing to do is to clean bolts and threes with a metal brush and close with the right torque force as manual says.
Nicola Monti Nuts can come loose when lateral movement is present (ie movement perpendicular to the fastener). Me, my father and my grandfather have never had a wheelnut come loose once torqued correctly. We have always kept them lightly greased. Also ensures the correct torque and hence tension is applied to the bolt, not a distorted torque figure due to friction. Just my 2 bobs worth.
Can we have a tour of mad matt's garden, looks great
Lol. We do t live there any more but yes it was great. We even had 4wd tracks up the back
Good idea to get a break bar & socket like your using for undoing the wheel nuts the standard tools that come with cars are next to useless !
Agree Allan
dude, love your videos! i'm a new off roader... i love u and ronny Dahl!
Thanks Mate, Head over to the Facebook page for more stuff as well.

Nice Matt. More videos please! We've waited 2 months for your next vid! ;)
a dab of grease is fine, even though the book says no, I do that on my cruiser and boat trailer but I always keep check of the tensions
I've never had an issue with a little grease on the threads, I've had a number of issues with dry threads picking up though.
You should make a video on making your electrical system more water resistant.
I've never had any issues with that though. I've had this with water on the windscreen.,
Must be a jeep thing then. Lmao
Hey Matt, do you re-do you alignment or balance your wheels every time you change up the tires?
No mate i only do them when needed which isn't very often.
Front air bag suspension??
+brokenlegz Boom again im gonna keep doing this haha
+Regboy2011 hahahahha. I'll let you know when it gets stalkerish lol :p
yeah righto man i'm off 4wd this week so im just watching 4wd videos haha
+Regboy2011 lol I don't really think it's stalkerish I think it's funny you keep finding my comments lol
If you can afford two sets of rubber, you can afford a cordless impact :) and do final tighten by hand.
true
2:23 lmao
Nice tips Matt
I personally wouldn't recommend putting grease on lug nuts because you can't properly torque it to spec and they can back off.
In 25 years I've never had this happen but I've had nuts pick up a thread such that the stud gets broken.
If I haven't got a torque wrench is it just as tight as I can go without ripping the head off ? Anyone lol cheers 👍
Unless you have an fair bit of experience with bolts doing them up by feel is very unreliable. Even a cheap torque wrench would be ok.

This is changing a wheel...not changing a tyre.
sorry we got that wrong
