Casey, if the towing doesn't work out for you , you can always be an instructor in the automotive industry. Most instructors just tell you to do it a certain way without explaining why. You not only explain why but you also explain the proper use of tools and equipment and what happens if you don't use them properly. Good video.
That sticker placement is perfect! I've thought about making specific ones that go there, another thing on the to-do list. Thanks for the plug... It's good to see you're saving those toes this time around.
awesome jack stand additions, especially given the wide variety of builds and needs you have. So rad you could get the hydro assist installed! Can't wait for snow recoveries!
Definitely getting one of those extensions… I love those little aluminum HF jacks but they sometimes aren’t tall enough for Jeep’s… it’ll be a nice addition to the tow truck
I've got that same Summit trailer. And yeah, that axle placement is kind of squirrelly on that trailer. I bought it for hauling around my Kubota l2501... so far it's done a good job. I just wish they would have moved the axles back another foot.
Casey must agree with Matt Also "As A thought re trailer could you put spacers on the wheels say 2"" then space out the fenders of trailer the same This will give you 4" extra bed width on the trailer and not look out of place. ONLY A THOUGHT.Keep safe Keep em posted And may you amnd your family have a great christmas. from the UK.
The trailer tires are already max legal width, can't make anything any wider. The Jeep is simply as wide as it can possibly be without needing to go to a deckover trailer, which I don't want
Nice to have connections with good HUMANS, that have skill and knowledge, to make things work😎 Remember this,,, there are always places to put jackstands,,, at least, under the frame/body ( where/near suspension brackets are,,,or even the easylift hitch frame... It will at least keep the vehicle frame, or body, from adding weight to the axles/wheels/tracks,,,that may end up on feet/toes/hands, or other important body appendages😮💩😁😂😂😂 🎯😎☕
You should never lift a differential by the pumpkin. It could case the rear end to bend. They are designed to be lifted where spring mounts are. If your differential is trussed, then you can lift it by pumpkin.
Maybe you can mill those wheel spacers down enough to allow for easier trailer loading while providing enough inner wheel well clearance...? Btw, found you from Matt's channel and couldn't be happier with another towing/recovery/fabricating channel to watch!
Either that or shift the fenders a quarter-inch farther out on each side of the trailer...that shouldn't interfere with the wheels or suspension but will create a half-inch of clearance for the tracks...moving each fender a half-inch would be better if it can be done safely...
that has to be some of the coolest shit ive seen in awhile....like to see those on my laramie...however..wouldnt know where to start....keep em coming and ill keep watching
You need to 3 link and long arm that zj. I got the IRO on the front of mine and I can’t believe the difference in ride quality. I still need to do the rear and 1 tons on mine.
I do not get mad about the cussing it is more so being able to enjoy watching good content with grandkids and not having to contend with it, I am sure other parents and grandparents feel like wise. I have been known to drop fbombs myself as well as other expletives but not when kids are around. When I was a kid my father would not allow us kids in the garage while he was working on vehicles for what I believe was similar reasons. YMMV!
I've heard you sat before if your looking for a trailer not to buy a Summit, could you talk more about that? I'm in the market for a trailer similar to that. My 7x20 10k is kind of like that, axles are too far forward to where when it's empty there's only like 50 pounds of tongue weight and makes it bounce and make noise, plus with the adjustable coupler, and my adjustable hitch it's slop city, allready relocated the ramps from the back to the front and mounted my spare on the front. Manufacturer has been in business 30 years and I guess still doesn't always get it right
plenty of room for fail safe jacks,logs of wheels ... could put stands on the rear axle more inwards or on the frame rails... i just cut big ass logs to the height i need and us them as stands... logs a foot wide arent going to fall over or let anything all on ya. @5:20 totally enough room for jack stand...but of coarse run it how u see fit... fail safes are my saving grace when working alone and i recommend every one take the time to put them in place. your just being lazy flat out.
@@CaseyLaDelle sure, on paper the wheels should allow it to roll but in practice, they hardly ever do. Unless you're on a perfectly smooth concrete floor. Even then. The smallest of rocks or speck of dirt will stop them since they're usually metal wheels.
@www.youtube.com/@CascadeHeavyRescue Why don't you put a quarter inch spacer between the fenders, and the bed of the trailer? Providing you have room that is.
Can you cut the trailer fender wells off and move them out 1/2 - 3/4 inch on each side to make loading easier? That would drive me bonkers having it rub.
I enjoy following you around on the other side of the Cascades. Thanks for getting your daughter on screen. She's one reason my wife watches. A question came up watching at (10:09/11:42) could you cut off the fenders and put some tube stock in to extend the width and not be over width here in Oregon? Enjoy the holidays and may the snow be deep. Think Snow!
The fenders are already right up against the tires, so I don't really have any room to gain. The thin shee metal fenders are about as much clearance as I can get
You CAN make the fenders on your trailer ,,,, more user-friendly,,, a little cutting and fabrication,, and you still have fenders, secure, for travel, but move in a way that gives clearance when loading😎 ( old dog, old tricks here🎯😁☕) Contact me, if you want the clear details😎
Casey, What brand of track setups are those, I have tracks on my Ford Explorer and have the same steering issue. Interested in what you did to make the Hydro assist kit.
It's a 6" ram from Surplus Supply, some hydraulic lines and fittings as needed, and the biggest thing is to figure out where to drill and tap your steering box
Where can I find these tracks for my jeep?? I have a built xj. I've started looking into purchasing tracks and I have no idea what's good and what to look for.
I am more concerned about other leverage/stress the track units may be adding to wheel bearings and ball-joints.... Curious to hear how well things hold up☕👀☕
Hay Way Cool ,& That Should Work Great, By The Way I Saw A AWESOME LIVE BED BY ANTS Trailers That You Should Check Them Out , in 6 years Doing Heavy Construction Zero Problems & All The Wiring is in Conduit
Way safer? Only dumb thing I've heard you say. Also, don't jack on the diff unless you know what you are doing, or willing for that hydro to crush you. ...don't aim at anything you arnt willing to destroy..
@@CaseyLaDelle I was more concerned about the rest.. the attachment is just fine... Example, never get under hydraulics + someone is gunna jack on the cover instead of the bell of the diff
This was a disappointment video. You showed the real fancy Jack which was good. You did not show how these tracks actually are put onto the jeep. How long does it take to actually install these tracks. Are these tracks used with locking differentials. Do you have left and right control over the tracks from inside the jeep. (Like a snow cat)? Too much detail left out.
I didn't leave any details out, because there are no further details. You literally unbolt the tires, and bolt on the tracks. That's it, there's nothing else to do except upgrade the steering
@@CaseyLaDelle I think the process of unbolting a tire and bolting the track on might have been interesting for those of us who do not completely understand what’s going on here . This is a fascinating technology but it looks extremely delicate to me. Can I assume that both the front end differential in the rear end differential have lockers on them?
4:25 I've only spent the last 40yrs spent fix'n vehicles...I would't trust any crap from Horror Fright. Especially an expanded sleeve tube without any jackstands. 'Yer life 'yer choice.

Thanks for making an awesome product!
Your videos, Matt’s OrR videos, and Fab Rats videos really make me want a Jeep.
For real!!!!!!some of their videos make me want to move out of NYC and go somewhere country.
Their Jeep's aren't really Jeep's anymore.
That is a good friend.
As a mechanic now part time 😂 that will come in handy sweet product
I got those jack extenders and they are wonderful.
Can't wait to see the demos on the jacks,Jack's, the extensions on the jack awesome friends at the repair shop.
Hey Casey! Got your shirt. Arrived today UK , 10 days after order. Fast efficent shipping.
Awesome! Thanks for your order!
@@CaseyLaDelle My pleasure! Nice shirt and good cause. Keep well all.
The jack extension is sweet but keep it away from idiots.
Thanks for sharing
awesome jack stand additions, especially given the wide variety of builds and needs you have. So rad you could get the hydro assist installed! Can't wait for snow recoveries!
Good to have friends looks good can't wait see it in action
Congratulations on 13K subs!!!👏
I think that track system is so awesome thank you so much
awesome!! doing this to mine soon
Wonder of you could just use the spacers on the rear only‼️ that would actually give it more lateral stability‼️💪
In my book "just barely fits" means it's a precision fit. Totally agree with David Clemens, too.
Definitely getting one of those extensions… I love those little aluminum HF jacks but they sometimes aren’t tall enough for Jeep’s… it’ll be a nice addition to the tow truck
It's a super handy little kit!
Cool that he was able to set you up and get that all working. Great job. Nice Jack extension.
Pretty sweet setup.
The snow is stacking up quick
Cooperation and great skill sets 😳🤔🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Excellent episode as always Casey!!!
awesome job to 911 motorsports, gonna have to git me some for my jacks when i can git back at it again
Like those jack extensions.
Very handy setup!

Get a piece of angle iron put it on both sides and move the wheel wells out you'll have more room
I would move those fenders out 1/2 inch on each side.
Nice I bought some dominator tracks for my 99 cherokee limited
Nice to have connections with good HUMANS, that have skill and knowledge, to make things work😎

Casey, next trailer, get one with drive over fenders.
I purposely got one without them. They have their disadvantages as well
Another cool video. Now you just need a tow behind auxiliary gas tank trailer, lol
Yeah this thing really drinks the fuel!
@@CaseyLaDelle , probably drinks more fuel, with the lower gearing those tracks make...
Space the fenders out one inch ;-) Ooooops already asked and answered earlier.
👍
It looks like you could just move your trailer finders out and inch on both sides because the tires are running on the outer edge of the finders.
Pro tip… Bring snacks to your Mechanic don’t take snacks from your mechanic 😎

Wonder if you could put spacers on your trailers tires and move the fenders outward for a relative easy way to give you more clearance?
Already at maximum legal width
We don’t need no stinking fenders!
But floor jacks, by design, don't just go straight up and down... They move forward and back slightly as they raise and lower...
And that's why they have wheels at the bottom.
@@CaseyLaDelle sure, on paper the wheels should allow it to roll but in practice, they hardly ever do. Unless you're on a perfectly smooth concrete floor. Even then. The smallest of rocks or speck of dirt will stop them since they're usually metal wheels.
Extend the fenders out
I have a 1998 5.9l limited with a 4inch rough country lift short arm having issues the front springs hitting the springs tower
Can you move the trailer fenders out a little?
Nope, they are really close to the tires
cool tracks! home made or store bought?
www.americantracktruck.com/
@www.youtube.com/@CascadeHeavyRescue Why don't you put a quarter inch spacer between the fenders, and the bed of the trailer? Providing you have room that is.
Casey, send me a vacuum specialist to seattle, please. Cash in hand
Where did you get the tracks?
Can you cut the trailer fender wells off and move them out 1/2 - 3/4 inch on each side to make loading easier? That would drive me bonkers having it rub.
Is Jordan related to Austin? They look alike.

@@CaseyLaDelle Makes sense, That's why I asked. Thanks for the reply.
@@CaseyLaDelle Can you find different offset wheels for the trailer to gain clearance for the fenders?
You CAN make the fenders on your trailer ,,,, more user-friendly,,, a little cutting and fabrication,, and you still have fenders, secure, for travel, but move in a way that gives clearance when loading😎
( old dog, old tricks here🎯😁☕)
Contact me, if you want the clear details😎
And,,, the trailer width stays the same🎯
Can you mill the spacers down to where you have just enough room near the coil spring so you can gain a lil more trailer space?
The thickness is what gives the spacers their strength
@@CaseyLaDelle Yeah i know, i was just asking as some are overly thick!
Was the hydraulic assist because you had to for tracks? Or because you just wanted to help out power steering ?
Absolute must for the tracks
Casey,
What brand of track setups are those, I have tracks on my Ford Explorer and have the same steering issue.
Interested in what you did to make the Hydro assist kit.
Maybe I missed it. Where did you get the track assemblies you mounted on the jeep and what was the cost?
American Track Truck
What about a narrower wheel space
The thickness of the spacer is what give it strength
Like a thinner wheel spacer ?
@@cody39yrs thinner spacer is weaker
Looking to do the same with a WJ . Do you have a parts list for the steering and a process list ?
It's a 6" ram from Surplus Supply, some hydraulic lines and fittings as needed, and the biggest thing is to figure out where to drill and tap your steering box
Where can I find these tracks for my jeep?? I have a built xj. I've started looking into purchasing tracks and I have no idea what's good and what to look for.
Is the plan to keep the Dana 30 up front? Is it handling the tracks Ok?
Yep, tracks put less stress on the gears than tires do
I am more concerned about other leverage/stress the track units may be adding to wheel bearings and ball-joints....
Curious to hear how well things hold up☕👀☕
@@invisibilianone6288
That's more along what I was thinking. Tubes, inner C, ball joints... just overall strength not gear reduction.

NOT safer….
More useful, handier plus more versatile.
Not safer! Riskier.
That jack is not safe
Why not?
This was a disappointment. Do you want to great lengths to Sorrel fancy Jack
Keep talking, your sounded awful guilty about not using jack stands, Seriously what are the odds if it falling on your foot and trappings you.
Way safer? Only dumb thing I've heard you say. Also, don't jack on the diff unless you know what you are doing, or willing for that hydro to crush you. ...don't aim at anything you arnt willing to destroy..
In what world is a purpose built and weight rated attachment not safer than blocks stacked on top of the jack??
