EASY Lifting Heavy Off-road Wheels With The DIY WHEEL FORK Floor Jack Attachment

- Опубліковано 10 лют 2024
- Introducing the Offroad Wheel Fork for mounting heavy wheels. Once you start putting +35” offroad tires on your rims the total wheel weight dramatically increases as well as the frustration when it comes to mounting them on your vehicle. It makes a simple tire rotation or maintenance job is “tireing” lol The last couple of weeks Ive been inspired to help solve this overweighted problem by making a tool that can help assist those at home working on there own rig. I call it the WHEEL FORK - SCOPE: In this video I’ll be building and testing what is a essentially a offroad wheel mounting assistant that attaches to a floor jack to help lift and assit the install of those 100 + lbs offroad wheels. It’s a simple jack attachment that I made out of scrap metal. Do you think this can be a useful tool in your garage? Thanks for watching 🍻

I can’t wait for you to get this to market.
Thank you it’s in the works as of now 🍻
I’m building this come warm weather, thanks
Awesome 🍻
It’s a brilliant idea and a back saver. You’re always putting forth these great ideas. Having struggled mounting 37s on our JK we’re all in with this.
Thank you I appreciate it, a back saver for sure! I thought this one would be worth sharing to the off-road community. Thanks for watching. 🍻
That’s pretty slick!
Working smart.
Thank you Sean, so far my back thinks so too. Thanks for watching 🍻
GREAT INVENTION !!! I wish I had welding equipment to make one. I've been struggling about 2 hours tryng to put a heaxy wheel back on my Hilux SW4 (+/- = Fortuner in the U.S.). Dark now and hoping I can get help tomorrow.
Oh man , yeah anything over 35s get a second hand for sure. This is exactly why I made this. So I don’t have to ask anyone for help. I’d make you one if you can pick it up. I’m in California. 🍻
Definitely a killer idea I would buy one
I might be making a few more. Still shop testing. 🍻
Definitely a back saver
This is awesome!
Thank you 🍻
Awesome idea, love it.
Thank you, it’s been both nice on my back not having to wrestle with the wheels and I noticed it also helps prevent the hub studs from scaring the aluminum wheels. 🍻
Nice job! That's pretty trick. If I get bigger tires I might try to replicate that. Loved the reuse of materials. -Trey
Thank you Trey, yess make one I’d love to see what you come up with. 🍻
Bro, you know that I love your brainy ideas and I usually have some input (as you asked for lol) so here it goes...I saw three main struggles, but only have thoughts on two of them. First a small ramp to push the wheel up on the rollers instead of manually lifting it. Probably something already out there that would "fit the bill", and secondly some type of strap or bungee to hold the tire up right when in transport. For the weight distribution offset, I have nothing at the moment for that😂. Brilliant idea altogether. Does it go up high enough to help with the spare tire on the back as well? Anyway, great video as always.
Thanks bro I knew you would chime in on this one, always good to get thoughts. The ramp idea is pretty clever as that would be great for new installs. The strap and bungee I agree is a must I’d hate this to fall over on someone or somthing , I can already see the jack hitting a crack in the crete and there goes over the new wheel getting scratched. The wheel is pretty stable on the rollers though. At the moment it’s not going to lift high enough for the spare bit that is something im totally looking into. That’s if I need one. A lot of people are ditching the spares hince the tires are so good and you can buy sidewall repair kits to get out of a jam if need be. But I hold spares on two out of three of my jeeps. I have a safe Beadlock and tire just haven’t mounted it yet. I appreciate the feedback back your input is valuable. 🍻
Definitely need one of these to rotate my tires on my f250 easier
Awesome thank ya, gona build me one
Awesome, you will enjoy. 🍻
Awesome idea 👍🏻🤩 I always hate changing my BFG mud tires.
Yeah same, it’s a sign im getting older so i need to work a bit smarter. Thanks for watching 🍻
Love it ❤
Thank you 🙏
I dig the fact that you can have the Jeep high up on axle stands and you can still lift the wheels on and off. Not something you can do with a tyre lever.
You hit the nail on the head with this comment buddy, that’s where I struggle the most when installing my wheels. Kicking my butt no more haha 🍻
Good idea for a product but I would need something taller to use on hoist.
Would be nice to have a lift, a lot of us are just not at that level yet, but I’m sure you can make something similar to work for ya. 🍻
This is amazing!
You’re gonna sell these?
Thank you 🙏 I’m currently looking for a manufacturer that will make them. At the moment just sharing the idea and taking on personal orders for people who might want to try one out. 🍻
Where do I order this, if it would reach my spare tire mount, my back is asking......🤣🤣
Haha right I bet all of our backs would be much happier at this point. lol I’m working on a solution for the back, let’s see how this one goes first. But im interested. 🍻
A real jeep guy needs no lifts.
🤣🤣 I knew this comment was coming! But I’m not on my back anymore! I put pride aside for that lol 😆
