Agreed... A piece of heavy 1/2 - 3/4" rubber stable / cow mat. Mount it up to the inside of the bottom of your bunk shock box. Kind of difficult to do it with anything rigid as the bunk obviously moves up and down on air... Keep up the good work!!
Can you do a video on how u became a owner op? Like what were the steps,the hurdles you had to go through and what hurdles you currently go through, finding a good company to hire on to ,if it’s not to personal what the pay split is? What’s that mindset like?I see a guy my age like yourself in a truck like that it gets the wheels in my head spinning as a company man. I drive a 9 car auto carrier. Stay safe driver.
It probably depends on what you're trying to block off between the cab and deckplate. If you're looking to just keep dirt and grime out of there I would use some sort of brush seal. This would likely keep most dirt out but would still be flexible to allow the cab and frame to move independently.
To solve that open space under your shock box get a piece of 1/8 aluminum bent like an L shaped and mount it to your deck plate with a 1/4” space and paint it to match. You could even shape it to go around the frame to fill in the sides also.
The truck looks great with the deck plates on but, you may want to consider leaving em off except for truck shows. Not only is making it harder for you to work on, the road grime collecting under there is pretty thick. All of that grime is gonna hold moisture, salt and dirt. Perfect environment for rust as well as chaffing your air hoses and wires. Be a good idea to pressure wash that out often. I love the truck and your style. Thanks for the vidya.
Something you could've done with the new bushings for the shocks, the night before you do it clamps the rubber bushings in a C clamp to compress them and throw in the freezer until you'd be ready to put them in. I've haven't done that before but I imagine the ice cold rubber would stay compressed for a while you install it.
Put a quality mud flap there from the top down roll it inward is one idea....because of the flex and movement thats what i come up with. Keep on keeping on with your badass self
get some rubber stripping for the rattling dude.... use some weather stripping... i did... an its good you can park at home... I parked my truck at home for a week an the city gave me a warning.... no commercial equipment... an to think my drive way is 5x as long as yours... lol
With spinning bolts sometimes if you can get something to prey it up a little or just pull up on the plate anywhere while turning it then it might catch a thread & come out
Would be interested to know how much the truck cost you, and all the upgrades you’ve done to it. This is a dream truck of mine, got about 2.5 years driving and would love any info you wanna share brother - much love
LOL glad to see Paccar is still using only the highest of stuff for their trucks, I know the deck plates are custom, but that shock was completely shot and your truck is dam near new, there is better shocks they could put on from the factory. that would at least last past 2 years
Me personally, I would take the truck over the car Any Day!!!! The truck can and will make you money. 😁 The car will make you a target for thieves and highway patrol. 😬😔
I love how you say never get a day off I drove for seven years and after becoming operations for a company I actually work more now Respect for drivers but others work just as hard or harder
Yeah, best be getting them lucky rolls, reckless operation bringing a wrecking ball in quick if not careful with them race cars, or worse for me, bikes.
Nice looking truck Iv watched a few of your videos and enjoyed the content BUT that music way to loud!!!! when you have to turn the volume down for the music and turn it up when you talk !!! you don't even need music as far as I'm concerned!! That's my rant.

That is the coolest thumbnail I have ever seen, maybe even the coolest photo in general. 👀🔥
Thank you! Means a lot! I’ll probably get those 2 together a little more 🤷🏽♂️😂
So true
It is dope
Can I get this picture in a straight up and down photo for a wallpaper?
Agree
The charger & the truck …the right & left lane on smash 🤜🏽
If that aint the biggest driveway flex, looks fire🔥🔥🔥
Agreed... A piece of heavy 1/2 - 3/4" rubber stable / cow mat. Mount it up to the inside of the bottom of your bunk shock box. Kind of difficult to do it with anything rigid as the bunk obviously moves up and down on air... Keep up the good work!!
Good fucking idea!!!! Damnit man! I’m probably gonna do that!!!
Thank you!
This is good. you can also use a 3-4inch garage door floor seal, soft and compliant
You got the one of the trucks that I love it not a KW
Your truck is is classic
Love you you brother
Always good to see your videos sir . Nice to see the pride u have an how u carry it the way u work . God bless

The ride never ends
Got that right good buddy! 🫡
Truck is beautiful 😭 your set up is goals

36 hours. Resetis the only time we get off but it’s our job I did this for. 57. Years an only part time now after 57 years still have my class one
Gr8 Vid of shock replacement Fam!!!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊👍🏾🙌🏾🎥📹📽🇺🇸💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

Good idea! I’ll have no choose on the next round of shocks! I’ll keep that in mind!
Just found you. That driveway shot is BANANAS!!!!! so dope.

It’s a great idea!
Always good to see your videos
I def agree with the topic. O/O get no days off. But I’ve been doing and that’s if you’re a real O/O and not a lease purchase.
I don’t know what like more your bad a** truck or the car. 😂 stay safe my trucking brother.
Just add some black mesh like from the front grill of a truck cut to fit the gap in the back and install some lights to highlight the deck plate
Ive seen this thing on I-5 a few times now. I'm super stoked I found this channel, you for sure got a sub from me. Props from Bellingham 🤙
I really enjoy watching the videos when you work on your truck
Nice rig and nice video continue the good work .
Thank you!
You can use adjustable brackets and put a plate for that gap, and whenever you want to take the deck out pull the plate up using the bracket
Could you put antiseize on those deck plate bolts? Might help in the future
Dude holy shit man that is so sick. Nice job man. Good work.
What a beautiful rig
Damn both in matching destroyer grey, nice
The rig, the whip and the sky grey.
I like that you’re not blocking the sidewalk how you parked. Idiot owner operators around just park and block the sidewalks.
Good looking truck brother nice color choices
love your truck inspiration to young drivers
Your the only person that can see that open space under the back of the cab. It looks fine the way it is.
What a beautiful rig!
get some rubber stripping for the rattling dude.... use some weather stripping... i did... an its good you can park at home... I parked my truck at home for a week an the city gave me a warning.... no commercial equipment... an to think my drive way is 5x as long as yours... lol
Could you do a rubber block off plate so it moves and blocks the gap you don't like?
Rusty screws are a problem What I do to prevent new screws from rusting I spray them with a zinc based lacquer ! Really nice rig btw!
Should of washed it underneath while the deck plate was off love the trucks looks good
Yea the rain has been so bad that’s what I do for spring cleaning lol. But now the deck plates are functional I’m going to be busy degreasing!
that gap is good dude; dont mess it up...
Respect 🇯🇲👊🏾
Nice Looking Rig Driver, Gorgeous
That is a nice looking rig driver! I'm workin towards getting one some day myself. Love the video, keep it up.
Hey I appreciate ya!
Ps
Never let anyone tell you no!
With spinning bolts sometimes if you can get something to prey it up a little or just pull up on the plate anywhere while turning it then it might catch a thread & come out
Yeah not these johnnys lol
There's nothing like a holy Sunday spent worshipping with St. Peterbilt 🙏😇🙏😇🙏😆🤣
you got my dream setup house car truck keep going
Both of the rides are looking good, sir
Has the cleanest 5th wheel 🛞 in the planet 😂
Silicone pads I believe.....no grease needed...
Bro, I’m not even gonna lie that’s one sexy ass truck damn
Sick build what’s the color of the truck
Destroyer Grey
Yo you have taste for trucks. I have the exact same one in American Truck Simulator :D. Same config, same color, same everything :D
never get a day off but you can afford that awesome vehicles
You ever thought about doing povs in your car 🔥🔥that setup you have is motivating
I probably will when summer hits and now I have that 360 camera
Your truck is great
Put antisieze on those bolts. Should have pressure washed under the deck
Would be interested to know how much the truck cost you, and all the upgrades you’ve done to it. This is a dream truck of mine, got about 2.5 years driving and would love any info you wanna share brother - much love
Bad ass modifications j👍🏾 job
Love your videos ! And I love your truck it’s so classy !
Thank you!
this is goals 🔥
Get a custom made trim or cover, for the back of the cab that'll hide the hole and hide the edge
LOL glad to see Paccar is still using only the highest of stuff for their trucks, I know the deck plates are custom, but that shock was completely shot and your truck is dam near new, there is better shocks they could put on from the factory. that would at least last past 2 years
Dope ass rig, what’s the make, model, and year ?
It's what you make of your day bro u can get a day off
Keeping a truck it ain't cheap.
Cow Mat from Tractor supply for that gap between deck plate & shock box cover
Fuck yea!! Perfect idea!
I haven't even watched the video yet but the thumbnail is *incredibly* hard
Where do you run
Maybe if the deck plate curled up and went behind so the 2 pieces of metal “scissor” then the air ride can wouldn’t damage it.
Always loving the vids!
Thank you!
block the cap with a plastic, rubber cover thing :?
What type of truck
luv the colour,dnt no why people gota go all bright neon n shit like a rainbow
Damnn that truck is beautiful ! Where do you live? Don’t your neighbors cry to the city about your truck??
which car is it?
where you from??
Cool Truck man 🙏❤️😀😀👍
Gotta love engineers
Thumbnail would do a crazy pc wallpaper
If it doesn't have to be metal, you could possibly make a cover piece out of a black mudflap for that space under the sleeper.
I’m so glad I said that! It’s a perfect idea!
Clean bro 🔥
Whats the track playing its smooth asf
All about the vibes
Hi driver I had hauled flat rebar but question is you a awesome rig but why no headache rack be safe driver
It’s not a requirement and I’m not a fan of how they look.
Another great video
Me personally, I would take the truck over the car Any Day!!!!
The truck can and will make you money. 😁
The car will make you a target for thieves and highway patrol. 😬😔
Love the video but I personally think that it’s missing the video of you actually repairing or replacing the shocks but overall great video.
Gotta get my truck bagged
Get on it!! 🫡
dude nice truck! but wear are your airlines/pigtail
Behind the frame and they connect able the landing gear on the trailer
Another reason I like doing everything myself. So we call that built not bought. Cool truck tho 😊
The Peterbilt in the thumbnail is what made me click on the video. I’m glad I did. 💪🏾
Peterbilts ❤🍆😊
I liked 👍🏿 because of the thumbnail
I love how you say never get a day off
I drove for seven years and after becoming operations for a company I actually work more now
Respect for drivers but others work just as hard or harder
Yeah, best be getting them lucky rolls, reckless operation bringing a wrecking ball in quick if not careful with them race cars, or worse for me, bikes.
Evo on the background 🤔
Bro what kinda fifth wheel is that? no grease needed?
No grease!
I ordered the truck with it. It’s an aluminum Holland
BEAST 🔥🔥🔥🔥☝️☝️☝️
Quick question. Where did you buy your shocks? Is this an auto parts store shock or special order????
Just oem replacement from Peterbilt their paccar.
PACCAR shocks @ KW & PETE dealership
Nice looking truck Iv watched a few of your videos and enjoyed the content BUT that music way to loud!!!! when you have to turn the volume down for the music and turn it up when you talk !!! you don't even need music as far as I'm concerned!! That's my rant.
Well well well…. I knew it…
