I have bought 2 brand new cars in my life and one of them was a Focus 1.6 Ghia FFV 2004. Great car over the 5 years I owned it. Nowaday I buy older cars and have 3 of them. They break now and then and then I just use another while I fix it 😊
Do you take it on the freeway/highway? I don't need to know the recommended speed to drive with it, but how fast do YOU drive with it? Does it ever wobble? Sorry for the barrage of questions but I'm gonna get one and add bigger tires. Thanks for the vid.....👍😎
This generation of focus is pretty good. I used to eye those hot hatch 3 door ones back in the day. ZX4? Dont recall the badge. I remember thinking in shouldve bought one instead of a Golf GTI for cheap parts and maint
Dude, keep the channel up, you are already over the hump! you still have so many subscribers, your videos are cool, you can keep the channels running parallel. Just an opinion, keep it safe! Take care!
I like it . I like how your car pulls it thats amazing to me . I could put my ebike on it. Or somthing i find. And im sure a regular riding lawn mower will fit in it. Probably Its so easy to extend it. I would put my folding latter. And mabye a wheel . And mabye carry other stuff
When you pull these all day, how often should you stop to cool the engine a bit to let the heat off? Also how do you know how much slope up or down you can take when pulling a trailer? Thanks.
The engine should be fine as long as it has been properly maintained. I went up some pretty steep hills, and it did fine. Also, I would take extra care of the transmission and get the fluid changed every 50k miles.
Super nice guitar.. however the one you have has got new pickups.. Mine has the original pickups.. (silver top) It plays very well - and keeps tune so nice.. I love it.
@@exploringlife3389 thanks you Asking because trying to decide what’s next for me. I’m in a market for another vehicle. Trying to avoid car loans if possible. I have an older f150 it needs works but I’m keeping looking for more temporary or backup transportation whiles I do the repairs. But that could serve as a work vehicle if needed though.
Thanks for sharing this. I have a 2017 SE. I'm finding mixed info on tow capacity - from 3000 to 3600#. I'm thinking of buying a cargo trailer to convert to a camper, but would be taller than the van so wondering how much that would reduce the mileage. Or, get a short one and have better mileage as you got.
You mentioned lifting the trailer and standing it upright for storage but the main problem I have (and everyone else) is the design of the tail lights. They protrude about 2” and when you stand it up you’ll crush the lights. What did you put on the end of your trailer to fix that issue. I’m having storage problems and it has to stand upright? Tried to review what you did on yours but you went too fast. Pictures and part numbers would be great!
Not even close dude. You made some bracket with 3 wheels that I can briefly see…rubber caster wheels…attached to the bumper. Help me out man. You showed the tail end of the trailer in about 2-3 seconds. Be nice to see it all stood up. I lifted and tilted mine back onto a 4x4 between the factory set tail lights. Then I made two 26” 4x4’s with a notch to support the rear axle for both wheels…handles the weight of the wheels and axle well and supports very nicely just don’t have the mobility to roll around. I joined them with carriage bolts. Nobody I know has a design on converting this trailer into a standup. Help me out
@@ibdribbles7128 yeah you need to flip the tail lights. The casters on the rear are located on the " tailgate " of the trailer with a 2x4 behind them to get the spaced out far enough.
Hi. Just curious, to what max speed have you taken this trailer? Some "sellers" of this trailer state 45mph max but it seems many people are going beyond that with no issues. I want one, but not if it has any issues on the freeway, up to 65mph. Thanks
I towed it at 75+ mph without issues. I just checked the wheel hubs when i got to the gas station to make sure they were not super hot and they did great.
Its good to hear from you. Your Dad had mentioned something and hope all will be well with what you and your family are doing. I know it will be good. All the best to you and yours Zach.
I know that your dad said you were heading North, and I am so happy for you all. Sounds like lot's of changes and your dad's work starting to transition also. Hopefully you end up with some sort of repair shop. You have put your body through enough. Those boots tell quite the story. Wow.
Everyone talks so much about payload on a half ton pickup truck, what is the payload on this minivan and where are the weight police.

Missing the shredded cheese!
Don’t forget to grease the bearing zero fittings….

@@alanpules4105 75 to 80 mph no big deal.

I built mine for a mobile welding/plasma cutting trailer.
What year is your van as my friend has a 2014 Van like yours

Would a small craftsman ride on mower fit on this trailer ?
Thanks for info 👍
How did you back up the trailer
Put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it whatever way you want the trailer to go

I like to add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese before putting on the tater tots, otherwise I do the same recipe. It’s a delicious ‘comfort food’ 🧡
I got a friend who takes a picture when he gets the boots and a year later or when they die. I always thought that was weird. How the turns table.
Lose the wet battery use a lithium ion
Got my eye on one of these in a pawn shop. What would yall consider a good price for a used one?
Need to remind Sarah at 04:30 it's time to wake up
how much would this cost if I ever see one?
Specs on van?
2019 , 3.6 penstar engine.
As a Minnesotan I trust a recipe that has hot dish 🥰 in the title more than a recipe with casserole 🤮 by a thousand fold.
Thanks!
Do you know what pickups are in it and does it have 5k pots

Flip the tail light bracket so the l is going towards the tires.

No pictures of what you did? Would be helpful as a subscriber…
@@ibdribbles7128 at this point the trailer is sold.
< yawn > Another 8 minutes lost
Thanks for sharing! I may have missed it in the video but do you use trailer brakes?
Nvm saw that in 2:57 thanks!
Would love to see some short clips of the Bay house projects and boat an all that here too!
