Abandoned Truck Buried in the BUSHES for 15 years! And we drove it home!!

What happens here

To address the dry-rotted front tire, the first step is to clean the rim thoroughly. Scrape off any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris from the inside and outside of the rim. Use a brush or cloth to ensure the bead seating area is clean. The video also discusses the different types of large truck rims: tubeless, two-piece, and three-piece. Special care must be taken with split-rims (often called 'suicide rims') due to the risk of explosive decompression if not handled properly. The tire in this step is a tubeless type, which is generally safer.

Goal: Prepare the rim for tire mounting and understand different rim types.

Tools and materials

  • Brush — Cleaning the rim
