Who else remembers when Matt took this truck "off roading"? 😆

Best way to wake up in the morning is with coffee an a video from my man Matt an the OG fam!!!... I salute you brother, stay moving forward an I'm sure one day I'll have the pleasure of shaking your hand, (which to me would be an honor)!!!... bless up OGHQ🔝🇺🇸🤘🏽💯

One thing that really helps when changing large or heavy wheels is to put a large bar underneath the tyre and use it to lever the wheel and tyre down or up to the hub, your back with thank you :)

it seems like no one one KZread ever knows to do this. lost count of how many time I've watched people sitting on the ground fighting with a wheel.

We all have time to watch! I would love to see the series.

I can feel you struggle. I am a 6`5" former bodybuilder and I once changed my 35" tires by myself (of course with no idea whatsoever), never again 😆😆

Love watching the details and you dialing in your vehicles. Keep up the interesting video vlogs

Sit on the floor and use your legs for leverage when lifting a heavy wheel like that makes it a ton easier!!!!

Nice wheel ! I got a set of 606 mesh on my sierra and I love it! The finish is not the toughest, but it still decent.

Hardcore truck guy here and my only gripe is that you keep calling it a car lol

Tip... When doing truck tires do them exactly like you got the fronts on but use your clafs to lift the tire and rotate to get the just right. Thats how i got the 37s on my F250. I wish they were as light as thosr lol

Do you wash your front coilovers and rear shocks too @10:53? I am having trouble keeping mine clean. Is there a chance for you to do a video on how and what you use to clean yours?

Something like Corrosion X might work on the steps. It lubricates and will slow the rust and corrosion down a little.

Get those lug nut spindles. That is what the Porsche mechanics use to get the heavy tires on. I use them on my 991 rear tires, saves a lot of pain. A buddy of mine was an Air Force mechanic and his neck and back are jacked from lifting airplane tires and brakes in awkward positions.

What’s your front and rear fender measurements from the middle of the center cap to the bottom of the fender flare?

One day I hope to change the same wheels just cz lol but for now am hoping my credit is good enough so I can finance my first set haha

As for the side step bars, WD40 will evaporate fast. I would use the good old Finish Line TEFLON Coated bicycle chain oil to make the lubrication last.

I like to use a pry bar to get those heavy wheels/tires up leverage is your friend

Next time use a longer crow bar and pry upwards lifting the wheel/tire with one hand while stabilizing with the other. This also allows you to rotate it slightly to hit the studs. (This is how truck mechanics install semi wheels)

It would be awesome to see you do new control arms if you go that way!

Do you have link to center caps?

I'll admit I know nothing about Raptors, but do the brakes seem a bit small? I realize they don't tear around at 100mph+, but that's a heavy load.

Any issues with the hub bore on these being bigger then stock bore?

Lithium grease works well as it sticks. Last quite awhile

What do you think about the Ford branco?

Love the Raptor, I wish I could get my wife intrested in one. I would feel more at ease if she were in one. By the way, the stainless hardware looks fantastic !

I use wheel dollies for my big wheels it makes it a breeze to install them

87.1 hub to 108, no hub rings? any vibrations?

I’m Interested in buying those wheels & tires

If the raptor is ever for sale, I call dibs :)

Hey man i have a question. Do you know any thing about this car shampoo its called "ethos ceramic shampoo"? If so does it clean well with a no contact wash just spray and rinse?

There is no such thing as touchless from anyone.

I miss the blue Gen 2 Raptor.

22:00 use your legs as leverage, alittle smudge wont hurt :p

Which center caps are these? I just bought the same wheels for my F-150 and it came with these janky looking center caps that need to go immediately.

Get a RAM REBEL so you can compare the two 👍🏻

Ever get your shocks rebuilt yet? Ford recommends you do it every 50k miles

Nice wheels. For what it’s worth, try not to use WD-40 as a long lasting lubricant. Short term fine, long term- a heavy weight machine oil.

I remeber my first time changing tires...jesus.

11:57 I don't see any RPG control arms and RPG doesn't make a leveling kit for gen 1s because they don't need any parts. Its just a spring adjustment 🧐

Yo matt, when I change the wheels on my truck I sit down and put the tire on my legs and use my legs like a jack. But no matter how you do it. It's a bitch 😂

Detail that horse! :)

I sure hope your local chiropractor is considered an essential business...

@20:51 lol.. try mounting a 40" Maxxis creepy crawler on a Trail Ready REAL bead locks. Put shoes on, sit on your butt, pinch your feet on ea side of the wheel and walk it up...

Next time grab a bar under them tires, make ur day a lot easier to mount them tires...

Maximum effort on the front left...ha

Raptor bolt pattern is 6x135 or 6x5.31”. 100mm bolt circle is like what’s on 90’s Honda’s and Miatas and such. 😂

It has 92,000 miles, so we'll see how long before it starts having issues.

Listen man our backs can't take that $h¡t anymore ... and those wheels are heavy ... AF 😳

better off doing the half shaft, once the boot gets split and if there is gunk in there. all that gunk wears into the cv bearings. best way to wrangle big tires is a pry bar to lift. At work handling 22.5 wheels with tires that are 295/75 with semi truck and trailers. there are also tire dollies with little wheels move to and away from vehicle and rollers to spin the wheel to line up with wheel studs. I am a combo muscle car and truck guy. AND I can care less about another persons ride unless they start talking shit about mine. My plan is to soon lower my Ram 1500 that is 4WD, a lot of people I work with thinks I am retarded for doing so.

WD40 is not a good lubricant.

250k people watch this guy? Something must have gotten much better because this dude is slow and dry

Matt, get the Ford steps and get rid of that junk. I had those steps on my Ram 2500. Nothing but trouble. And the "manufacturer" could give a shit. And PLEASE get rid of that WD40. There's a reason it can't be used on aircraft.

Kris Tyler sounds like you are Kris Tyler. Toyo’s would be the Porsche and BFG’s would be the Corvette. Toyo’s outperform the BFG’s in every respect. Especially in longevity. I ran BFG‘s for years. They suck! They were much better built in the late 90s then they are now. Complete trash. Matt has 15,000 miles on them and they’re making noise. On a half ton truck. Absolutely ridiculous... I have 40,000 on my Toyo’s and I’m running them on a three-quarter ton Duramax. No problems no noise.
