Ran into a little hiccup and couldn't get the back bead broken.

Quick trip to DT and I'm back in business.

Hopefully we'll be rolling again tomorrow.

I found that a high lift jack in the Reese hitch with the tire on the ground behind the jeep works great. Use some soapy water and put the base of the jack about 3 inches away from the rim. It will normally break on the second placement of the jack about 8 to 10 inches away from the first spot. Don't be scared to put some pressure on the tire. I did 5 in less the 1 hour.
