    Tickled me about the tool box upside down, I’ve had that happen at first. But the looseness of the lid caused tools to dump all over anyway. My wife handed me a couple old dish towels one day which I folded on top of the tools and never had a jumbled mess again. Fun watching. Great video

      ...actually sticky velcro! Ha! Yes, but amazing how well it has stood up...and it got us to and from Oregon when we got the calves. Thanks!

    Great job what type of paint is on the trailor. My grandaughter and I are painting her trailor,changing lights wiring and chains and other things so she will be safe. Thanks for the video

      I’m not 100% sure, it was painted before we got it. But I believe it was Rustolium.

    Glad for you folks ! Beautiful country where y’all live! Thanks for sharing!
    Note , y’all check grease in hubs ? Like the lights !

      Scott’s Small Farming and Things . The place we bought the trailer from supposedly checked the hubs, but you’re right. I should check them myself, especially before such a long trip! Trust, but verify, right? Thanks!

    Looks nice. Shouldn't close off the windows, need a real open&close type window because trailers get REALLY HOT just a short distance and even in cool weather. So animals need the open window ventilation when they're loaded.

    • @vnthomas16
      @vnthomas16  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Closing in the windows was just a temporary measure for one trip and it worked great! There are vents at the front and it's open at the rear so ventilation wasn't of concern. In the end, it was probably the best solution for the four baby calves we hauled. Thanks for watching!

    Nice trailer, and nice improvements. I'm wondering if the K100 will be able to handle it going up Snoqualmie Pass? On the trip west, did I happen to see the I-90 bridge over the Columbia, just north of beautiful downtown Beverly?

      Keith Fink Unfortunately, the K100 won’t be making this trip, but from what I understand, when my family was hauling milk with 12, it had no problem making it over Snoqualmie!
      Keen eye! Yes, we crossed the Columbia River at Vantage, just up from Beverly.

    Where did you find those round rear lights? Need some for a vintage camping trailer Reno I'm working on. Thanks!

    • @vnthomas16
      @vnthomas16  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rosalie Larson if you’re talking about the tail/stop lights, those are just standard 4” round lights and grommets. Any large truck parts house would carry those. If you’re referring to the clearance lights (three beehive style up top), those are original, but we kept them because they’re so cool! You might also check the online catalogs of Trucklite and Grote. Both make all sorts of trailer lights. Thanks for watching!

      @@vnthomas16 Thank you for your reply and the leads. I've struck out with vintage camping trailer companies and am not familiar with truck renovations so your info helps tremendously. My next project is converting a 5x14 vintage livestock trailer to a camper with an exterior kitchen inside the rear gate. I have a lot of discovery work to do to find the appropriate parts. Thanks for the info, it will be helpful. And nice work on your reno. The little trailer looks great!

      @@vnthomas16 Just a heads up...Vintage Trailer Supply Carrie's the beehive lenses which are hard to source. They go fast when they get a fresh supply so you might want to keep an eye on them and pick up some spares when they become available. They are fairly inexpensive but not always available due to demand.

    why where the truck and trailer wheels chocked when you were changing the lights to led

    • @vnthomas16
      @vnthomas16  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Martin Fitzpatrick The tires were chocked because the policy of the storage place we had our rig at required vehicles be chocked. Don’t worry! I don’t think our truck will roll away!

    How did you attach windows? With velcro? What material are the windows?

    • @vnthomas16
      @vnthomas16  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kim K we used a translucent corrugated plastic material, like what is used for signs. We attached it with two types of fasteners. One was an industrial Velcro, the other was 3M Dual Lock, which has held up better. The adhesive on the Velcro would loosen up in the hot summer sun. No problems with the 3M stuff though...
