    Simply amazing. You left some space between rolled tarp, and rub rail. And when you applied the bungee and pulled down, it created a nice tight seal. What the actual f. Thank you sir. New skateboarder here.

    I’ve always folded the sides! Never rolled them but that’s a great idea! Gonna try it on my next load that requires tarp! Great Video!

    Great video. Just made tarping a whole lot easier for me. Kind of looking forward to going to the lumberyards now. (Kind of)

    Awesome video man! Couldn’t help but notice you pop it into neutral to split into the high range of your gear. What’s the reasoning?

    4:24 clearly you don't tarp a lot. Also, clearly you don't haul steel loads after seeing how you folded your tarps. 😂

    • @the717trucker5
      @the717trucker5  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You are correct , I don’t tarp a lot 😆 And yes I haul steel only on occasion

    • @mikezunker
      @mikezunker 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@the717trucker5 I haul steel plus other stuff. It's hard to explain in a comment but I fold tarps so I can roll out only what I need and it's pre folded under.Very clean with no rolling up excess. Steel loads are usually 12 to 18" tall so it's important. (I was blessed with 4' and 8' tarps)
      Also if you roll out both tarps before securing the rear tarp, they are linked together better while securing 48' instead of 24 twice.
      BTW, I hate tarping. It is the devil. I had a Phantom trailer that I loved until I got an Extreme that saved me about a 1000lbs.
