Great video. The car show looked like a lot of fun. Glad to see Dirty John still doing well. Sounds great. The work on the trailer looks really, really good. Gonna be one stout hauler. Look forward to seeing the toolbox choice and the rest of the work on the tongue. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks Brian, we greatly appreciate bud. I hope to get the tool box figured out soon.
I can tell you from personal experience that winch will work well as long as you don't get it hot by pulling hard without giving it a break to cool down once in a while. I have the 5500 badlands steel cable model on my trailer and have used it many times. Yesterday I loaded a John Deere 1020 with a front loader bucket and while the winch did strain to pull it up the ramps, we got it loaded by letting the winch cool down a couple times. Just pay attention to how hot the wires supplying the power to the winch get (keep in mind the stud where you attach the wire will get hot way before the wire gets hot) and take time to make sure they can cool down some when you are pulling hard.
Thanks friend, that’s some very good info! I’ll be sure to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get too hot.
That's going to be a good car hauler.I was going to a car show Saturday in East Texas I got drowned in my T bucket all I could do was laugh it never missed a beat first time I had it in the rain.
Thanks Robert! We’ve had days like that lol, we just push through the storms.
That shorter hammer is awesome. It's my goto!
lol me too.
We call um womping sticks around these parts lol.
Lol
Like that camaro setting in your shop
Yep you got me on that one lol
You Guys Got It Going On, RRB Turned Me On To The Keyes 👍
Awesome Tim!! We greatly appreciate it bud!
37:03 man that car sounds Great!
Yes it does bud!
Get a boat trailer roller and mount at rear of trailer and will keep winch line from rubbing, worked well for me.
Yep I have been thinking about that myself, good idea thanks!
Such a cool little trailer Wesley. The box is s great idea. I have one on my dump trailer and it keeps the controls, straps, battery, and motor all out of the weather. I can’t wait to see it all painted. Stay safe and enjoy your week buddy we will catch you on the next one. 👍😎✌️
Thanks Kevin, you do the same bud.
ok Mr. wes I am gonna share my mistakes with you. First low vehicle front bumper over hang yehp I smashed the front of my sons beetle. I bought the tongue box at harbor freight for my straps and come along. works great but I couldn't put the winch in it either. problem with the box its kinda tall. I finally mounted a receiver hitch in the tongue of the trailer and bought a winch plate that goes into the receiver at tractor supply which now I can take it out of the weather and use it off the back of the truck too it worked great. now I have to hang the winch upside down so bought some rollers for the cable and mounted them down the center of the trailer. I am sure you finished the project if not think about it. also wish your daughter a fast recovery. take care god bless and I cant wait to see what u got next
No I haven’t finished it yet, I’m still weighing out my options on the tool box but that is some great info Lonnie! I appreciate your advice man.
Great video ,nice winch that should work great for you. I love the scene where you pull up alongside dirty John. I can see you two running down the road together side by side. Two model A s burning up the road. Hope the wife is feeling better. Nice video, you're my kind of you tuber. Thanks Rich
Thanks Richard, we greatly appreciate your support friend!!
Harbor Freight has a couple tongue boxes available!
I don’t like those, so I’ll probably just build my own.
If you do go with a box on the tongue. I would put on the box's lid a solar powered battery charger. I think the Battery Tender people make one.
Ten four, you’re right about the solar panel. It will have one for sure bud.
@@KeyesKustoms Cool.
Enjoyed this episode,I look forward to every episode keep up the good work
Thanks Rodney we appreciate it!
U need a box between the floor rails, where ur tires go, at the front level with them for spare and jack ect... Then something si.ilar to a trailor tool box, like alot of people got thier winches in,
It had one like that before and it was hard to get your stuff out when a car was loaded.
Tractor supply has boxes that goes on the tongue of a trailor, they too tall for what u want, but u can shorten them
I’m trying not to cut up a new box, probably will just build my own
I put mine on a receiver mount so I can unpin it and put it on the trailer in a truck tool box or, the back of the truck. I bought the bracket on E-bay. it's a 13,000lbs. but same idea.
Good idea bud.
good upgrades make it a hander tool
This is true bud
Those were the cheapest slot mags they sold in the very early 70s they sold them at wollco which was owned buy wollworth dept store thats back when you could buy the bottom line cat mini bike for $99.00 they were super lite and would run 40 to 45 mph with someone 110lbs riding it. A set of those rims were about $120.00 with lug nuts
Wow how times have changed , thanks for the info bud.
😮
😁😁
How did the car get the name Dirty John ? Good lookin Welding Bud ?
John Milner drove a yellow 32 coupe in the movie American graffiti, when Bob decided to paint his 30 coupe yellow I said it reminded me of a ruff version of John’s coupe so we called it dirty John lol.
Put it on a receiver hitch so you can remove it
Probably will or maybe make a cover for it.
Snach block it and double ya powa.im sure you know that though.
I’ve got one ready to go, once I get a tool box figured out lol
@KeyesKustoms just bumping up the comments. 😉
