Probably a dumb question, are your steer and drive wheels not interchangeable by just reversing them like you can do with a dually pickup? When I saw the super singles and you talked about the cracked wheel I was thinking you where gunna say you bought super single wheels and used one of the original drive wheels to replace the cracked one.
Casey one of the biggest things I really like about you is that you never assume your viewers know everything, you aways take time to teach us that don't know towing how things work. Plus you have the BEST office in the world. Thank you 😊
We know enough to know that Casey is going to teach us stuff .. like why his truck has two license plates and general things .. that's why many of us watch him ...
@@normansimonsen1203 Casey shows the way it is to be done ... not just towing but how to act to a customer ... they may be total idiots but we've all gotten stuck one way or another and Casey is oh so nice about it.
Ok Casy I believe you. Used to work out at Brothers on a ranch. but live in Arizona now. like watching you working in the country I used to know. Thanks keep up the good work.
I've probably left a comment like this before, but I just want to say (maybe again) that I love your videos because they have two very important qualities: they're both educational and entertaining. I don't really have any _use_ for the stuff I learn from this channel, but I'm a major nerd who loves to learn about pretty much everything -- and who knows, it might even come in handy someday! 😻
We built a nrc 40tb, we also put a steerable lift up front and the 24inch boxes on the back each side. Our fork attachments are in those. We made pipe holders for the attachment in the boxes. You will love the lift axel it helps alot.
My childhood was parallel to wrong. I am very difficult with myself. You are helping me, in a small way, chose a different and happy pathway. Thanks for your thoughtful work.
Just so you are aware Casey those are explosion proof lights…. I believe they are about 800$ a piece….if you are going to hook them up I would take them apart(watch for set screws holding guards form turning) and anti seize all the threads…they are made from cast aluminum that is full of contaminants so they tend to corrode easily..some off them take a strange looking light bulb…With your multiple power packs I personally would throw a couple of solar panels on top of one of the units and switch to lead bulbs in fixtures.
Your socket drawer cabinet would benefit from a secondary latch over security retainer. Persistent vibrations, loads will over stress a single 90 deg twist lock. Then you get road music.
There's a reason why I been watching y'all for a couple years now! Your smarter then the average human now a days because you have common sense!! And that's not common any more! Keep up what ya do, I'll keep watching and liking your vids
Man, the logistics , knowledge and $$$ that goes into getting your truck ready so you can make a living. Looks like you could have an insane amount of cash wrapped up in your truck just to make things run more smooth while doing recoveries. Where i used to work, we had the same issues with the rims on the International dumps. They were the 11.R size and they replaced them with the super size like you did. I would love to be Grumpy Jr and shadow you for a day or two. Hope Grumpy is doing ok since we have not seen him in a while. Do you ever see or hear from John the Veteran that you helped out??
Looking forward to seeing more changes to the truck. I hope to see all of those plans come together, I love the videos and love the work you do to help people free of charge when you can. Your a good dude and can't wait to see more of your stuff. 👍👍👏
Yes, a STEERED drop axle is well thought through and strategic idea! Good thinking about the whole organisation on your truck: makes working it a lot more efficient! Looking forward to the realisation of all the ideas! Regards from Europe, T🐻 in NL.
It's your attention to detail Casey that keeps your equipment safe. I really don't know too many that would take the time to find cracks like that in your wheel. Good job on that find. Truck's looking great. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the updates and future plans for your beautiful rig. Thank goodness you noticed the cracks in the rear rim and was able to get a replacement so quick. I'm glad you were able to get the tires you wanted for the front and those used rims look great.
I enjoy the wide variety of subjects on this channel. Your indepth explanations of your big truck and what you are planning and why are very interesting. Good stuff.
suggestion on your muffler, turn it into a grass burner. put your exhaust pipe under your frame with the exhaust going to the ground. I pull a 53 ft van and it is super nice not having all that soot on the front of the van.
What brought me to your channel in the first place was you going out of state to bring the cement mixer truck from Nevada back home, long distance moves like that are great to watch. Now with that green tag you can go anywhere legally.
Enjoy hearing about the improvements!! I am amazed you were able to go through the railroad underpass in Oregon City with your building on the back. I drive through it a lot and cringe every time!
It's just like the RV I live in most of the year. Never enough storage! Took me the better part of 5 years but I think I have it all under control now.
For your exhaust issue if you put an enclosed headache rack, you could put the exhaust under the cab. Carhaulers have done that for years. Just a suggestion.
Casey talk to a welding shop on making you your headache rack and closed with all the mounts built in it for each piece of equipment you want to mount in there that way it's easy to get to second for the exhaust running underneath exhaust they work really good and you might want to put a mud flap behind your tires so you're chocks aren't covered in ice and snow in the winter just an idea have a good day buddy
We now see the method to your madness with all the extra storage and moving things around on the truck...lift axle! Lol...now with the big singles on the front, which they do look good on there, will you have to install the rubber flares since they stick out of the fenders some? I like when you show what upgrades you do to all of your equipment, keep the videos coming, I enjoy watching them all!
Bar none auction , used to work for them in Portland ( until new management then bye bye job ) . Ever thought about binders you can use an impact on ? Make securing loads quicker ( just a thought )
Part of the reason I watch your channel is to learn different ways to organize tools. Folks often forget how important not only having the tool is, but having quick access to said tool so it’s actually able to serve its use. Having to dig for 20 minutes through a bundle of junk really just hinders you.
I thought of one more benefit to adding a front drop axle on that truck: you could use it to help lift your air tanks above the rocks so they dont bottom out like they did at the last PLS cleanup! A long break-over angle isn't as bad when it bottoms out on rolling wheels haha. Keep up the good work of making that truck work for you as well as it can.
Glad your getting your rollback slowly situated. Your chrome tool boxes needs to be cleaned and shiny, lol. It’s looking good. It’s been put to uses a lot since you got it.🤙😎
@@CaseyLaDelle Oh man, you don't want to spend three days polishing, just to not be able to tell the difference anymore before you even get to the paved road, the first time you leave your property?
I like the way you always try to improve things to make your work easier and more efficient. In my last job, truss hauling, they shut the company down and sold off the equipment. I talked later to the boss and he actually gave me a compliment on how well I had the truck set up and equipped for anything. I had just built it up over six years and gradually added things as I needed them, bought used or bargains whenever I could find them so it didn't cost the company that much either. It sure made the job easier and more efficient. Thanks for the news on yours.
I was getting all confused when you were talking about getting rid of some toolboxes, then, BAM, you start 'splainin' about a steerable lift axle. Makes perfect sense! I'd make the exhaust a weed burner. Also, your enclosed front box, would a tunnel across at least the lower part be handy? Roll up doors are the bomb diggety!!
Don't know if Milwaukee makes a vertical mount option, but a vehicle charger mounted in the toolbox would be a handy add-on to make sure you always have one full battery, and a good place to put the one you've run down at the end of a job. Also, reflective vinyl may not stick to those rubber chocks, and would likely get scraped off a lot of your other tools, but where you can make it stay, it's really nice for extra visibility, both for roadside safety and finding all your stuff after a job.
I really don't like making comments on people's trucks and how they set them up but I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway. I have no interest in reading all the comments here to find out if somebody's already mentioned this or not but if I was to have a rig as such I definitely behind the cab put a recovery system which. You can pull from both sides of the truck run a pulley system down through the bottom and then long side the frame underneath to a set of roller furlers out front so you'd have a front winch as well with that system.
If you put the drop axle over there it’s going to make the front steer axle lighter, Some times when I tow heavy stuffs on my wrecker and I have to pass the scale I drop the drop axle down and I loose braking power on the front axle and my steering wheel plays a lot, I like the drop axle to located all the way back and to be a last axle, in that situation you have much more ability and flaxbility to share the wait on your axle
The correct term for your front tire/wheel assy is flotation. Super singles are old tire technology and wide base are what you would use today on drives or trailer. Usually 425 or 445''s. Also used when towards the end of their lives on farm equipment like grain carts and hay wagons.
Congrats on all the awesome upgrades! And the future plans for the rollback tow truck. Definitely looking forward to the stress test videos. That is so interesting! Keep up the rad videos Casey!
Not sure if it'd work but on one rescue truck we had compartment about a foot wide across the truck, split halfway, aluminum divider vertical in the middle with stuff fastened to both sides using rollers on the top and bottom and a simple latch. Unlatch and roll it out to access all the stuff. Extruded aluminum plate with slots covering both sides.
You have to keep in mind that truck will be sitting right on the edge of a live lane pretty often, so even the fold down doors of my current boxes are pushing it a bit. A lot of heavy wreckers are switching to roll up doors so they can get into their boxes without protruding into traffic
Not telling you about your business, think about a battery charger rack for your power tools that could be powered by possibly solar panels on roof a power cord on a retractable reel. Just saying, enjoying your videos young man, keep them coming. ( my opinion only) 👍
I looked into going up from 1100r 22.5 to 1200r22.5 I didn't need to plus the speed rating is lower for larger tires. A bigger axle with two steering boxes would increase the weight more than just larger tires. I'm intrastate. Was interstate 10 years ago. Less complicated staying in state. I have two plates on mine. One is my septic pumping or hauler license. I think you can get a temporary ifta to go out of state if you didnt have a permanent ifta. Could be wrong.
Yes you can get trip permits to go interstate when needed, but with towing I don’t have time to get a permit, because I never know when I need to cross state lines until I get a call and need to do it right now.
I drive a 1995 chevy four wheel drive and I was in nowhere Wyoming two years ago and the center of my back wheel cracked and the hole tire fell off and I had a full size camper on the truck O what FUN it was over Fathers day week end
This unit is for flammable liquids, it's built to contain an explosion plus all the vapor proof lights and electric conduit is much heavier. The 24' from last vid was for chemical storage.
HUGE thanks to Bend Commercial Tire for getting me a replacement rim on the spot when none of the big outfits could!
The cost to run interstate in Oregon is more than all the rest of the states and the Canada provinces put together
Probably a dumb question, are your steer and drive wheels not interchangeable by just reversing them like you can do with a dually pickup? When I saw the super singles and you talked about the cracked wheel I was thinking you where gunna say you bought super single wheels and used one of the original drive wheels to replace the cracked one.
Bend tire is the spot! Have been using them for years... when the owner was running out of his garage!
The tires look badass
Dude the super singles look killer!
Casey one of the biggest things I really like about you is that you never assume your viewers know everything, you aways take time to teach us that don't know towing how things work.
Plus you have the BEST office in the world.

We built a nrc 40tb, we also put a steerable lift up front and the 24inch boxes on the back each side. Our fork attachments are in those. We made pipe holders for the attachment in the boxes. You will love the lift axel it helps alot.
Love the road shots. Takes me home. I'm from Lebanon.
Well I just learned something new if I tow a truck with a camper shell. Thanks.
Only Casey would say his tow truck is perfect and proceeds to change everything....!!!!!!
The front tires do look good. I really like that truck anyway.
Forward facing (directional) camper shell... good advice, thanks, didn't know that!
My childhood was parallel to wrong. I am very difficult with myself. You are helping me, in a small way, chose a different and happy pathway. Thanks for your thoughtful work.
I’m pullin’ for yah!
I'm from Clackamas, wayway back when it was a drinking town with a logging problem.
Just so you are aware Casey those are explosion proof lights…. I believe they are about 800$ a piece….if you are going to hook them up I would take them apart(watch for set screws holding guards form turning) and anti seize all the threads…they are made from cast aluminum that is full of contaminants so they tend to corrode easily..some off them take a strange looking light bulb…With your multiple power packs I personally would throw a couple of solar panels on top of one of the units and switch to lead bulbs in fixtures.

That’s actually more fun than 52 card pick up and one of the reasons I put chineseeium tools on my trucks cause it gets expensive quick
Sounds like you lucked out on the Rim Job
Super singles definitely worth it...
Casey, your plans for the big truck are carefully thought out and well reasoned. Thanks for the detailed explanation!
Yes, the new front tires do look awesome. The rest of your ideas sound like a great addition to the efficiency of the truck.

always fun watching your videos when youre further north in oregon. 99e is on my truck route its nice seeing it going the other direction.
Storage, storage, storage. Always need more.
Awesome truck improvement ideas, you never stop making great videos
Truck looks tuff with the new front wheels/tires
Thank you for the walk around! Love your improvements and like what you're gonna do next.
Don't forget to add a tool to remove broken off air-fittings to your air fitting box ;)

I looked into going up from 1100r 22.5 to 1200r22.5 I didn't need to plus the speed rating is lower for larger tires. A bigger axle with two steering boxes would increase the weight more than just larger tires. I'm intrastate. Was interstate 10 years ago. Less complicated staying in state. I have two plates on mine.
