    First time, watching welding or grinding, I had to put on sunglasses.....because of the shoes the guy was wearing. Super glue in genius !

      I've grinded plenty of times with lots of flash... I'm talking about my shoes.
      I cut the 30-minute scene of unstucking my hand from the Heiman.... joint.

      Noice! You gotta have the hemi joint. Just one slip, and there goes the whole shootin' match. Dew it!

    I think some grease on the threads would be a good idea.

      Good idea. I'll do that. Thanks!

    I have been thinking about making a trailer and hitch for my bike. I want/need to make everything from scratch. I can not find a manufacturer that makes a hitch to fit my bike. The only thing that will be premade is the axle and suspension. For the trailer's body, I will use a large car-top carrier... Wish me luck. ( 2004 Honda Shadow Ace, VT 750 )

      Good luck! Hope it works out. I like my setup. It's definitely worth it.

      Thanks for watching! I just checked my local Tractor Supply. CountyLine Adjustable Top Link Category 1 in stock. $59 bucks now.

    Hey mate, what do you call the buckle please? Have you got a link available please?

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      By buckle, do you mean turn buckle? It's a Category 1 Top Link by CountyLine. 20" long. 3/4" ball joints. 1 1/8 NC threads.

    Have you thought about installing some small shocks for the carriage axle/wheels?
    Might be good for those really rocky and bumpy A, B and F lines.

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll definitely look into shocks. You never know what kinda rockin happens. Especially on the A,B,F abd C lines.
      1st, I wanna put a pair of 33" Buckshot Mudders on and a pair of truck nuts off the rear.

    When you are not using the Heim Joint, could I use it on my tractor on the 3-point hitch. I lost mine.

    You don't really think the hymen is a joint, do you?

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm pretty sure it was a joint of choice for Cheech & Chong.

    Why are your bolts left hand thread?

      That's an illusion. My camera films everything backward. I need to fix it someday. Or upgrade a new camera. Appreciate you watching!

      Everything I learned about Australia came from Mad Max and the Ronnie John's Half Hour. 'Harden the f*#k up!' Lol

    Good work, Dude! Looks secure and solid. Now, as you are a man and you installed the Heim is it now a Heim-man? And did you pop it sliding it in? 😎

      Thanks! It felt like the 1st time. HE-HEIM-MAN. "I have the power to tow."

    It seems you’ve lost your balls. 🤔
    Much better though. That spare tire looks kind of low, you might have to move that eventually for trails but I think the home joint option is pretty cool. I think you’ll need truck nuts for the trailer as well. 🤔

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Still waiting for my ball to drop.
      Finally, someone noticed the low spare tire. That has to go for sure for clearance, Clarence.
      I gotta buy truck nutz!

    Most dangerous thing i see is spare hanging on the bottom.

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree. I unbolted it and put the spare inside the cargo space.

      @OffGridandWhiskey It's crazy to pay 200.00 dollars for swivel hitch. I looked at top links today to see what I can come with for MC camping trailer. Of course people will blow you out for saving money.

    • @OffGridandWhiskey
      @OffGridandWhiskey  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I paid $80 tops at Tractor Supply for the Heim and accessories. Works great.
