    On all my trailers I swap the 12v power and the brake power wires on my truck and trailer pig tails. That way if someone tries to hook up the trailer and take it the brakes are locked up, along with two different locks on the tongue and chain through both tires

    Whenever you get a new trailer I would recommend parking it behind the shop. It will help keep it out of sight of people driving by. It looks like a busy road so you won’t notice if someone is casing the shop.

    I agree, DON"T SELL THE CHEVY!! That tool will make you soooo much money!! Just rent a car trailer from Uhaul for $55/day or many local yards have them available for slightly more.
    Also contact the Builder of the trailer to see if they put a second "hidden" vin somewhere on the unit. My son in Ca. had his new $5k dump trailer stolen from a jobsite, about 45 days later, the man who bought it from the theives was trying to register and tag it but needed a CHP vin check (because it was less than 10 years old). They called the company that built it and discovered they had 2 vin locations. After finding the second (un-altered vin), the data search revealed the true owner and the incident report on file. Since it had been reported stolen, it was seized immediately and returned to my son. ........ WARNING...... if you think you are getting a good deal on an unregistered and un-tagged trailer like Randy's, you will eventually get caught and lose both your money and the trailer. Randy, we all feel your frustration because it has probably happened to us in the past, and we will be praying that justice prevails. LB

Hopefully you have some better luck tho

    I took a 8" X 18" 1/2" steel plate, welded on a large "D-ring" and bolted it down to the drive way with 12, 1/2" concrete bolts all drilled at slightly different angles and drove them in. Weld the mount nuts. This allows me to use a 1/2" schedule 10 chain and lock system to secure anything I might park in the driveway.

    Rebuilding a '73 Corvette I ran into the same problem with the steering wheel centering with a new steering gear and pitman arm. I ended up centering the wheel with slight tie rod adjustment. The alignment shop said I got it pretty close to centered. They fine tuned the alignment for me.

  • @85rx7se
    @85rx7se 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the steering is not centered, that can be fixed by adjusting the toe in. Very easy for any good alignment shop to do. You can also do it yourself if the car is tracking straight, measure the toe in at the front & back of tire first, then lock the steering dead straight and adjust the tie rod ends a tiny amount.

    Steering wheel being off a tad doesn't necessarily require a pitman arm adjustment. Hard to put those on wrong. Instead, adjust tie rod adjusters equally to get steering wheel alignment where it needs to be.

    Next time chain the trailer tires to the fence. Criminals only rob things that is quick and easy it you chain it to a fence post it will detour them away.
    Also make sure that you try and move those vehicles behind your shop it will help keep criminals away from your property.
    The people might come back and try and steal other thing like those cars and might break into the shop.
    I pray for you and I hope you see my comment.🙏👀😟.

    Ling story short, our trailers wheel blew out while we had it on a dirt road we lived near. We got it to the dumpster and left it to go and get a tire. When we got back it was gone. Honestly I think they lifted it up and put it in an even bigger trailer. There were no drag Mark's as the rim was completely shot after driving it 5 miles on gravel.

    part of the problem with trailers in Oklahoma is. you don't have to register or tag a trailer in the state if it's not used commercially. so who ever stole it may never be caught even if they are pulled over. i would install a GPS tracker on the next trailer. they are not expensive compared to the cost of the trailer. some are battery powered so they can be tracked even if they don't power up the lights. it still transmits a signal and location update.

  • @jimmeyer939

    Same thing happened to my neighbor's trailer. He had the ball lock and we could see, by the drag marks on the dirt road, they just drug it off.

    It's not the pitman arm. It's keyed. Set your seeing wheel straight. Scribe the tires and set the toe with tape ruler. Adjust with rt toe rod end. It's probably the end that is off

    You need to take a few and fix your gates to the fence and park anything you're leaving there overnight inside the closed fence. Even vehicles, because people will steal the tires and anything else they can get off of them, but for some reason when things are in a fence people tend to not mess with them as much.
    And if you were to get insurance on the place, most companies won't cover anything unless it's in a fenced in area.

      @KandBDoormasters 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Matthew Anderson Exactly what I’m thinking... I don’t know how far it’s off, but that will fix most. Start with steering wheel straight and locked down, adjust both tie rods to straighten wheels. As long as you have enough adjustment you will be good to go. So many techs don’t lock steering wheels down, and this happens.

    Well, he bought it sight unseen because, like the rest of us, he's been following you and saw how hard you've worked on that truck to get it running the way it is right now. And following you from your Uberman days until now, we all can see that you are someone who is upfront and honest in your dealings with other people.
