Lots going on in this video, the body work is completed and ready for paint, it was time to move on to get the new hitch installed. I went with the Max Coupler Hitch. This will provide amazing articulation on the trail. I used my Esab Welder to install this on the diy overland trailer. I also welded some tabs on the frame to remount the tool box instead of using self tapping screws.

I will say it agian, it's amazing what you get done in that garage
The struggle is real for sure
You might want to close up the end of the square tube or else it will pack up full of mud and probably rust out a lot faster, good build Jerry
For now I’m leaving them open to see how it goes. I know what you but the other end is open as well. If it starts to become a big problem like you mentioned getting backed with mud then I’ll close them up
That hitch is the bomb Jerry..💪💪
Jerry your welds are 🔥!!!!
That is gonna be awesome. I would love to do some camping in that!!
In the end I think it turned out awesome
I think I’d fill in the openings in the front of the frame & hitch to keep all the shit out of the tubes, & how much stuff do you have that says Power Fisted, we don’t have Princess auto 😅
PrincessAuto would be like your Harbour Freight in America
My max coupler is in a box waiting to be installed. Cant wait! Great video!
it's a great hitch you will like it
Well shit, Jerry. If I lived closer I would definitely take you up on the invite. Never seen a hitch like that, looks like it should do the trick. Whatup Kitty Kat?
The hitch is well worth the money
That coupler makes a decent theft deterrent as well. Not something someone will be able to easily attach to without a ball hitch
yes that is true and you can remove it
Just like a universal joint 👍🏽
Yes kind of for sure
You sir, lay some very nice welds. Damn that sucks Fedor moved away. Friends are hard to come by these days. I can't wait to see the finished product! CHEERS MFBT
Yes it sure is that’s for sure
Coming along great!! I have a random schedule.. have a TJ and like to camp..cheers… and MFBT!
You live in and around Calgary or Close by ?
@@BackCountryWrenching yes… I am in Calgary.
Yeah those hitches are badass, just like your welds! I'd hang out, but I'm in Delaware lol.
I am now officially jealous .
Love that hitch…
My favorite number is 9! I want to try that beer 🍻 my favorite podcasts are Sword & Scale, Stiff Socks and Surreal Talk...crazy they all start with S. Lots of alliteration
19:37 I will be moving from BC soon near Milk River, I would like to go on a trip this summer with new people.
18:00 I had a old model T box on a home built frame I used for camping and hauling my 10" fishing boat. I was out by myself on a fishing trip and I turned around in an old logging landing. I was watching a stump on my drivers side while backing up, what I did not notice is the hole the stump came out of on the passengers side. I rolled my trailer and it popped off the ball. I would use that same hitch you have hands down on my next trailer build.
You excited for the big move ?
Love this hitch, hated how the truck side is setup. Had to buy that socket just for the hitch
The hitch has been working amazing for me as well. For the average person they may not have the correct tools for installation like you have found out
Max Coupler is the name I use when I order pizza
Cigar Dave podcast is good
That toolbox ain’t goin nowhere. Nice work Jerry. MFBT 🍺
I considered those however I figured that there is no stopping point when she rotats there is nothing to stop it, the normal hitch has online so far before it resist full rotate and can bring the trailer back if needed
There is no stopping point with a ball hitch it just snaps off and your really screwed
@@BackCountryWrenching Maybe but that has not been my experience and I've been pulling trailers the 1980's. In fact I've never seen one come off due to off road terrain.
Jerry I don't like that you left those tubes open on your hitch set up. It just does not look good and will collect water and crap. I know you will probably close them off. Welds are lookin good, great work and look forward to your campin trips. From Alaska Fairbanks.
Thanks for watching, you’re living the dream up north
I had a max coupler on my tear drop, never worried about the camper flopping over.
They are awesome, I’ve been happy with it
My boat trailer frame was held together by u bolts 😂 I also welded that shit together. Gotta build everything yourself now days. Wish I lived a bit closer, I'd bring the old dodge out and go camping with ya
Held together by Ubolts now that sounds sketchy
@BackCountry Wrenching ya have a look at one sometime. Right at the front the two side stringers to the middle hitch.
Fedore moved away? MJ can't go? Sounds like you need a few new friends!! Lol.
Yes I sure do that’s for sure
@@BackCountryWrenching Better get..Forgot his name Outdoor Emporium I think.
I would not install that hitch… but, my trailers have been much longer and heavier. Have to watch sway with something like this. Make sure your weight is loaded perfect. Good install by the way.
Tows like a dream you don’t even feel it
Short tow trailer depends on wieght for driving capabilities backing it in i s the ? (Made it better or ) taking it wherever you go hence camping off road its purpose. Like to hear your opinion on a purpose built for u and maybe road trips
Definitely a lack of argon. I sure like that hitch.
A lack of something for sure
Really enjoyed this build, gotta little off-road trailer just re-building and I hate the shit-slap on a 2" ball.
That looks like the cats ass for a hitch!
The new hitch is awesome it tows so nice, you don’t even feel it on the back
Where did u get that coupler ??
Your torch sounded like it was getting gas,make sure it is argon you are using for tig,or the cables are crossed and you are welding on the wrong polarity. Ground should be positive.
All what you said was correct, everything was set up properly I just haven’t had the time to revisit it
How is that hitch with trailer sway?
You don’t even feel the trailer on the back and much quieter too than the ball
Disgraceland is a true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly.
I’ll have to check it out
Honestly, I think you’d have been better off start into from scratch than fixing someone else’s crappy work.
This was a good experience to learn what works and what doesn’t do when I build a trailer I won’t make those same mistakes
