@@4tect4 that’s almost exactly what I had in it actually. I think my total man hours were 27 or 28 All in this was around $4000 Which sounds like a lot but had it just been repairing the original and reusing single jack that price would have been half that. The cost comes in when you start customization. Dual jacks which were all brand new and then a custom tool box all out of 1/4” plate. But yes it’s a lot of labor involved.
thanks brother I appreciate that a lot. You have some awesome content on your channel, You just gained a new sub and I'll be watching all your cool videos
Let this be a lesson. As a truck driver with hundreds of thousands of miles pulling trailers..... slow the fu.k down. I see more guys in the ditch with their big fancy pickup trucks with their rvs, toy haulers, car haulers, and whatever else they be pulling sittin next to them, pointing in the wrong direction. Makes it easy to see the exact point where they ran outta luck and talent. Just slow down when you're pulling a trailer.

Ciao, complimenti per il lavoro, non hai pensato di fissare la ruota di scorta sopra il vano che hai ricavato? O addirittura metterla dentro il vano .Scusa la domanda ma non sono esperto . Buon lavoro
That's a great idea however the tool box we fabricated is for Chains, Straps and Chain Binders. The spare tire would not fit in there, So above the jacks is about the only place we could mount it and it be easily accessible. As we all know flat tires come at the worst possible places and we don't want to have to get under the trailer etc when its usually dangerous enough changing them on the side of busy roads Thanks so much for watching and following along
I know I wanted to so bad but unfortunately if you flip it that jack gear will turn the opposite of the other side. I was even trying to figure out if I could take the jack apart so the pull pin faced out somehow
@@DXT61 thank you very much. MillerMatic 255. I was a Lincoln guy for many years but have been switching most machines over here the last couple years. Once I used a Miller Dynasty tig welder it was all over.
Absolutely. I do it a lot. I think things through in my head way before I attempt the process. Planning and making sure what I’m doing isn’t going to get in the way or disrupt the next stage of the job. It’s become a habit now but I believe it speeds thing up in the long run.
@MattcoMetalWorks i try to teach the apprentices at work the same thing. They wanna get it done but back themselves into a corner. I let them most times if it isnt gonna be detrimental so i can explain a different way of doing it
@@chrisduncan2626 Yes sir i've done it to myself way too many times and try to make sure i learn something from each mistake. That way it hopefully doesn't happen again
@@CarlDillow Not bragging in anyway here but that comes from 20 plus years of experience. I try to tell guys that come work for me when they ask how efficient I am and it’s strictly because I’ve put in the years. This job luckily went pretty smooth but I won’t lie some don’t no matter how much experience you have. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@ShainAndrews thank you very much. Appreciate that a lot. Sometimes you wonder if you’re doing things the best way for long term strength as we all know there’s no guidebook for these things. Just have to rely on years of knowledge thanks for watching

Ok! Tutto chiaro, molto gentile per la risposta, buon lavoro a presto
@@kenzemeres Absolutely, Hope you found the video helpful. Always glad to answer questions
Left jack needs to be turned so you can pull pen and push down with your foot

Looks awesome man, great job

Why would anyone pull a trailer, any trailer, at 75 MPH?
Because we are not doing 76 mph .
Good and strong !!!!

That’s kind of ironic if you read all the comments you’ll see the man himself @ICWeld commented what a great job we did on this project.
