So hey guys how's it going i broke down and got myself a birthday present. I want to look at my old red trailer. It was getting very ratty for those have been around my channel for a while have seen me patch that trailer back together several times. I think the last one last time was about seven or eight years ago did a bunch of the frame repair on it.

The decking was blowing out in a bunch of sections. I ended up patching that in and now is starting to do the same thing over again. So, instead of putting that back together, i decided to splurge a little bit and look into getting a new trailer and that's what you see in front of you. It was not the one i was going to go for it was.

My intention was to go for a nice aluminum trailer that could tow far distances and not uh, be too heavy to pull behind. Well, i was there, they didn't have much to look at and i didn't like the setups on them. There was no place to tie anything down attaching to aluminum either you got to weld to aluminum with the tig welder or you got a bolt through the bed to put tie downs. You know those latches that are on there and there was no pockets on the side, so the salesman uh walked around a lot with me and came across this after looking at some other trailers - and i really kind of fell in love with it.

It has a 20 foot long deck. I forget the width. I think it's about. Seven foot is the width between the wheel wells.

It's all solid. It's got tie downs all over it. It is a 10 000 pound trailer with a 7 000 pound capacity, meaning the axles are. Each axle is ready for five thousand pounds, so you got ten thousand pound total and then you got ta take away the weight of the trailer.

I think the trail is around three thousand pounds: the fenders come off. So if you need to go and open a car door after you put it up there, you take those little wing nuts off and each fender will come off of it. It's got pockets on the side of it. If you want to make a like a rail system on the sides, you can these guys right here.

I i may or may not do that. I'm not sure, and it's got another little secret. I'm going to show you in a second the one thing that my old trailer didn't do was this yeah that makes life a little easier for loading huh. If that bar wasn't on the front, could probably get some pretty good air off of it, but wait.

There's more: if you get a flat, you don't need a jack front, wheels back wheels. You say: hmm just do that i'll show you the you know, workings of what it's got. It's actually two pistons and a pivot on the frame right about a little more than center forward. Then all the hydraulics and everything are just in the box.

You kind of got a peek before that. Just a big hydraulic pump fluid in battery that charges off of the tow vehicle - and you know if you have to you - can go jump it chart with a charger. If it's been sitting too long, you charge it back up. We have possibly a fix for that too.

So, though i think it's awesome the way it is. I think we can do a couple of modifications to make it a little bit more useful to us. So let's go get into doing some wrenching all right, so i did a little bit of shopping ahead of time and some of the things that i got was some weld on d-rings, although this has a bunch of them on it. I kind of want the capacity of you know say possibly if you want to put a bunch of four-wheelers or motorcycles on it and you only have stuff on the two ends.

I was thinking about maybe running a row down the middle, and maybe you can catch a couple in these uh spots that are in between because that's got to be about. I don't know good 12 feet between those two, then, after that we need something to type cars down with right. So i went and i grabbed a complete set of ratcheting tie-down straps. That would go on to the tires that notched them down and then something to put them in from a yard.

Sale was a backpack to keep them somewhat organized and a winch self-respecting trailer would find itself without a winch. So we grabbed a 13 000 pound nylon. Synthetic rope winch for that i haven't even opened the box yet and in case the trailer sits for a while a solar panel that possibly we can mount to the top of the box for when it's parked just to keep a trickle charge on the battery. And last but not least, you might want to spare, so these are some of the others we're going to get knocked out.

Hopefully this works out well for us, if not we'll figure it out one way or another, so i definitely think maybe we should start on the winch. It's probably going to be the hardest of everything to get done. One good thing about the trailer is it already has a winch mount built onto it? I think it's going to be a little bit of an issue. Is that the trailer you know when it goes up scissors? The battery box stays down here and the winch is up here, so we have to run wires from the winch back to the pivot point and then back to the battery supply and have it so it doesn't get pinched or chopped or cut or ripped apart.

So, let's get jumping on that: let's get that box open, see what we got. Let's see we get stickers. I like these old mechanical ones. That cable seems kind of short, though i'm not a big fan of the ones you put the batteries in it may come with one, but i find that they uh when you go to use them.

The battery's dead, mountain hardwear, all kinds of goodies, is that a nice harley-davidson color got remotes too yeah, but i do like the fact that it came with mechanical one two or a hardwired one. I should say - and i went for this time - the one with nylon rope where usually i go for you know this one with a steel cable, the problem with the ones with the steel cable is they seem to kind of kink up on you and over time. They really start to get fatigued and like knotted and twisted it's not exactly used in the most gingerly of services, so we're gon na go. Try this one out, we'll see how this works for us plus.

I think it's got a little bit of a give to it. I think you just have to kind of watch out that you're not rubbing across a deck or something where you're you're chafing it but we'll see. Let's go see if that will fit on the mount that came with. It looks close that looks good on there too huh.

I got ta fish, some hardware underneath there and we got ta see about their fair lead. Did i have a roller or i don't think so, did it that's the piece that goes in the front right here now a roller would have like a rolling wheel on the top in the bottom of it. This one feels like it's aluminum and you'll, be just fine with that rope set up. I say we take a quick gander at this.

That's probably the most important page good looks like it's got square nuts to lock in under the winch body. Listen, we all have our issues right and what would they be for probably bolting the uh, the fair lead to the front of it and all go together that that that good, it looks like those are going to slip, says you right in there and then bolt Up from the bottom, i wonder if we should put that fairlead on first, because i wonder if the hardware is going to get away trying to get that bolted to it. It would definitely suck it bolted it all together and that hook was jammed in there. Like that, let's get that and it saves place before we continue yeah.

You definitely want to bolt the fairlead on first and has to go outward with the washers and all there's not enough room. It's right up against. It worked out good though, let's go see about mounting the control box on it, we got some weird kind of catch to it. It looks like it just paws over the body of it.

I don't see any screw holes for that to lock into well see the wires. Where should the wires go like that or the other way around, you think they're getting well, this stays with it right so that doesn't really matter yeah. I think we'll face them backwards. Yeah it just kind of threads underneath it seems like it has it pretty good, though the front just encapsulated it around and the back two screws kind of like popped into place, and then these they're just running underneath it and it seems like it's got it pretty.

Good, let's hook these up, so this is definitely a tad confusing i'm trying to figure out what their explains. This is the motor and it's like. Well, you have a controller also and trying to figure out. This is the installation for this.

That's be my guess right. You would think and like these are the wires coming out of the controller, and then is this the motor i got. I have four studs to put something on and i'm going through all this trying to figure out what they're talking about. Finally, i think what this is is inside the control box, that with the wiring is inside the box, because i think this is what the normal connection of it is from that control box going out.

So i'm going to go hook, those up i've actually labeled the little studs on there just to uh. You know clarify it a little bit. Let's go hook something up and see if smoke comes out alright, so i'm going to go with d, being yellow b, being red and c being black, and then it has a little red wire, a little black wire. Rather, that's the.

I think it says the antenna that goes down to the post underneath it. I will think that lead goes to the hot of the battery, and then we have a big long. Ground lead also goes to that bottom stud. I'm gon na go throw the nuts on that crank them down and let's take a jumper pack to it, see what it does.

Three of them are 14 millimeter. One of them is 13 millimeter. Let's go hook that jumper pack to it, see what we get on the ground. Hopefully nothing goes poof yeah and see what our remote does.

Oh, that was in it wasn't that's out that you do let's go, throw a battery in one of those remotes and see if that setup works. Let's see we got, sometimes you got like a little. I don't see it like a little plastic filament that you pull out. It makes contact, let's switch.

If that doesn't anything for us there, you go all right that one works. That was simple and number two all right, so we throw the hook on it. I think other than trying to hook back to the battery we got here. I wonder if you like it, you always say when you're winching, something don't stand by the cable and throw something over.

I wonder if a nylon cable is better or worse. I wonder if it stores more energy, it's a lot lighter the cable's. A lot lighter hit the hook. Not so much that'll take your head out, but all right, let's wind, that back up.

Let's say we put a little bit of pressure on it and see how it does found one of the d-rings over there we'll give her definitely stretches. Huh, especially that'll play a tune. Let's go a little more, that's pretty tight. It got skinnier this one, how it's gon na hold up to abrasion over time yeah.

I guess you just have to be careful that you're not rubbing it because with the metal cable, i have a tendency to take the hook and everybody's supposed to do it and you know wrap it around something on the car and then back to the cable itself. Is maybe that's why this is on here too a little bit of a protective jacket that slides over backer off? I bet you have to use it a couple times too. It probably sets that rope a little bit stretches it out to what it is, because you sucked it in in the middle. No probably screws right see if it comes out of there.

Like that's what i was afraid of didn't help that i wound it sideways, but it wouldn't hurt, maybe unwind, maybe even the whole thing and reset it get a little bit of pressure on it because, like how much is on this, i guess we're gon na find It over time, what's that you know the other thing is i don't need all that, not that i'm gon na go cut it back, but that's what i find with the cable ones too too. Is that it's fine? If you get the spool nice and even well a lot of times, you're pulling from an angle and always wants to favor one side, then it bunches up and starts hitting the frame of the winch. And for me i feel, like you, take half that cable off. It's if it's a winch, that's dedicated to a trailer.

What do you really need 40 feet and i don't know what's on there? It's got to be probably 100 feet on there 80 feet 50 feet a good 80. yeah. I decide to unwind all that. I want to redo it.

What's your guess, how many feet do you think the cable was pause? It write your number. Did you all right, here's what we got so we know the trailer is 20 feet long and i'm going all the way to the back to the front four times i would say 80 feet, maybe 78 feet there's a little bit of distance between there. I say probably well: i was a little bit on the spool yet too. I call it 80 feet now, i'm going to wind it back up and put a little bit of load on it, though, and kind of hang off the end of it and get a little bit of tightness to it.

I think it was just kind of wrapped up very lackadaisical. Hopefully the battery pack will survive that much of the windings. Oh, the other thing too, with uh. If you get rid of say half of that say if you make it like 40 feet, the the tighter you're in on the spool like it's a 13 000 pound winch, but i i don't think it's 13 000 on full spool.

I think it's 13. 000 on the last rung, or one from the last rung of a wind up and you're, probably out on about four from the center out, the more you wind up on the spool, the the wider, the cable gets and the less power it has. Your gear ratio is changing, you're, getting you're, winding, less cable at first and then each revolution as it gets further out. You're wanting more cable you're, wanting more cable you're, getting less power out of it.

So well. Let's say i want to use the jumper pack every time i want to go use it. We got to get those two leads connected to the battery and i'm pretty sure that they are nowhere near going to be long enough. Let's go flip her up and we'll look underneath we got for linkages and all for uh connecting to all right.

Does this thing have a safety on? Sometimes they have a little bar that you put in so that when you climb underneath there it's not like a big mousetrap ready to get you can we put something somewhere and usually there's like a bar hanging down and you flip up. I do not see one well from here: let's go decide what we want to do all right, so we have to get into there where the hydraulic lines are. So we could follow that. Ah boy we've got to come back to the pivot, though right, i wonder if we go down, maybe a rail.

Instead, if we go down, one end to a rail, we'd have to go through a knuckle back up and punch a hole through the decking on that's gon na be a lot of wire huh too bad. We don't have like um in the back of the trucks. For the the air for the brakes that little pneumatic springy thing to go straight up and down, can we get something like that? I'm not gon na get nothing that heavy. Though right, i think it's our only option.

You can kind of you know tack it to the inside of the rail. The other thing is too: we need some kind of breaker is our breaker already in the box for the just a relay. What i mean by a breaker is like, so it gets either. Overloaded or the um thing shorts out, it breaks contact we're gon na need a fairly large one.

If we do that too, actually, i wonder, can we just do ground to the chassis uh? It all depends where the ground is grounded to, because you don't want to. If you ground it well, if you don't ground it, i should say you don't want to try to contact uh conduct through the cylinders, it'll it'll cook them. I guess the only other connection we have. Is this pivot point right, so it yeah we're gon na have to run a separate ground, not bad.

You know, i'm sure that it grounds for the little lights, but that's not drawing anything. That's not drawing what we're doing to it. With that winch all right, i'm gon na go, take a tape measure measure that up get an idea. What we need and then we'll move on and i'll see about going to a shop somewhere, and i probably spent about 150 bucks on some battery leads.

Do it once do it right not to screw it anymore, though right 23 feet each? It's probably 21. If you want to pull it real talk, but i want to give a little bit of play just in case give a little extra would suck at him getting made that length and just being a little on the shy side right all right. What do you want to do next? How about that solar panel we'll take that out of the box, take a peek at that see what uh, how evolved that's going to be? Hopefully it's just two wires, little suction cups. I guess it's for inside your car.

Put it in the window, hopefully it's weather tight. If not it's going to be now right, let's get some funky uh cloth. What can we do? Can we slide it out of there? Does it come out, looks like it's sewn in. Doesn't it hmm got these little? These little guys probably goes in your sun vibes.

So that's, maybe you flip it around in the car sitting. One way i know: what's going on there, let's see, we could probably flip these flaps. The other way you get these right out of here there you go. What we'll do is just we'll we'll screw down through them.

Now i could plan all right. Let's go laying on the top of the lid there you be better off to one side or i wonder if i'd want to use like this space. Sometimes so the lid hits the lid hits right there, so we're not going to want to have that smash into it, we'll fit yeah we'll make it just like that. You think off to one side or in the center.

I think we might be better off trying to do that. Let's go look. I need to see if there's any framing under here, that'll make us change our mind now, just a hook right here. As long as you avoid that yeah we're going to come in right right at the hook, we'll scab it over a little bit to one side, yeah right about there, we'll make it yeah we're good we're about inch.

I'm going to come down we'll come down a hair so that we're not hitting up here too. So if we bump it or stop we're not going to smack the screen and i'm making hardware around, we need other stuff. Anyway, it's all the bits and pieces for when i get those big cables you got stuff to connect to yeah. I think for screws.

We're gon na go run. Those little self tappers down we're gon na do a pre-drill hole on it and do a little trick that i like to do to keep them from stripping out. That's the first two are going to go, i'm going to center punch them just keep the drill bit from walking, so this is more with like really thin metal. That would be much more important.

This stuff is pretty beaky. I really don't think they're gon na go rip out over time, and normally with these, you would just kind of sit them in a a driver on a drill, and they would just spin themselves in and dig in and be done with it. So what i like to do, and when you do that, unfortunately, here's what happens if you look at a side view from the metal and the screw is like that you're essentially pulling the metal up and it's very easy, the more you pull on it. It wants to allow the hole to open up and draw in well, if you took it the other way around, i'm not gon na be able to hold it.

You took the metal and you punched it downward as you're trying to pull up and screw the metal on the sides of it even wants to close up and get even tighter on it. Now, i'm gon na go do that. I'm just gon na go. Take a punch and drive a punch in there, a tapered punch and it's going to take the metal kind of roll it out a little bit again.

This is very thick. It's not really uh important to go. Do this on this, it's more just for the uh! I don't know a little lesson: a little tidbit. Let me go hammer them down a little bit, we'll run those screws in okay, with what looks like a cigarette lighter plug and or just said, the alligator clips that you hook to a battery.

I was going to cut the wires off and just try to like splice it to the battery, but i don't see anything wrong with using these right might be even like. I don't know if you're charging it with a a car charger or something like that with a big charge, and we don't want to backfeed the panel. Maybe we just unclip these, i think they'll be fine. Just so we're not stabbing ourselves with.

What's left over from that, let's go take a little piece of fuel line, i'll just run it right over it spin her up until that the rubber makes contact that should help it seal just in case any water wants to try to get around that we'll just Clip them a little proud and that way hitting your hands and stuff you're, not killing it. The only other problem i see is the wire exiting out the back, and i thought everything's black there, but there is a wire going down through there, but it is pinching. He's already got a mark in it, it's pinching on the lid. So let's not cut through that.

How you want to get around that? Let's make because it's kind of dumb right that if that goes up and down it's going to crash the lid, let's make like a tether from the lid there to there. So when you pop it open only stops at a certain distance, we want to go with chain cable chain wire. Let's go see, we can dig up, there's my statue of wire and all that kind of stuff see we've got. This is pull chain like lamps.

No way to this can be kind of hard to. You know clip around itself. Here's some other brass. I could probably run a screw through that and then there's this is, i think, jacket covering all this stuff, not that this this.

How about? And so this is metal and as you pull on, it gets tighter, like chinese handcuffs needs to calm it's hollow in the center you're gon na wire. Through it it becomes a protective jacket around it. You can mush it up and it'll get fatter just joke there. Somewhere you squeeze this stuff together, it grows all right.

Uh, let's go try this, maybe we'll try like tying knot, make just use it as a rope, we'll just drill two holes and we can adjust it accordingly. The hole is already there, i'm not sure what it's for, but let's kind of give a see if it's going to shrink down at all, get whatever length we're going to need. I don't know outside of it. Let's go see if we close that would like, if we drill a hole, no really way to tie it, though right how about, if we take, we weld the nut right around here, probably right, maybe right below what we'll we'll weld a nut to it.

We'll tie through the nut yeah unless you have a better idea, that's what we're going with it's all ready to grind the side of the box and weld on it. It does look like. Maybe it had some mechanical there's a hole here. It's dark! I don't know if you can see it, there's like a lip here, so maybe like a a scissor piece of scissor metal would would lay down there.

You open it up and flip back up to that location. I don't know let's try before i do that. Let's try tie into that and we'll see. If we can get that cable to fold, i have it feeling when it goes.

We've got to open it. It's going to want to hook on this thing where, if it's over here, it will make it so that it just kind of slides up and down on the outside. I got that tight on there. Let's see how it does.

Actually that seems pretty good yeah it. It can't get long enough to hook around the end if it does, even if it rubs up against it right, really can't go that far. We'll leave it like that. If i decide to change it later, we can path of least resistance, hey just one last thing for the solar panel.

I think we're done good nobody step on it now. Well, then, run those big cables underneath which is gon na have to be tomorrow. What do we have left? A spare tire? That's pretty self-explanatory, bolt that, on, i think, d-rings, maybe we'll uh take a second we'll lay it out, we'll try laying it out and we'll have a discussion. What will work and what won't work and maybe move around a little bit like a little shuffleboard thing.

I guess we should start with how many we got. I forgot how many i ordered it's been a while come on all right, so we've got 12 of them. Let's go start with the ones we know we want to put in. I want to split the difference.

I don't know. Maybe even two: let's go one there in the front. There's nothing in the corner. I don't want to go more than the frog's got the two front.

Let's leave that for now, because the thing is i want to do something in the center also, like i said, if you're putting two bikes side by side, you want to say, put a motorcycle here and a motorcycle here, and you want to tie them down. You got a real short run here and then you got a real long, one trying to go to the other side. So i don't maybe right up the middle. We run like even with them, so one there we can have enough.

So you think opinions. I know it kind of screws you in the center. If you want to slide something up the middle of it. That's you know flat.

That's got a flat bottom, like a like, say a lathe or something like that, but i see me probably grabbing more, like i said motorcycles. Cars vehicles, things with wheels on them, maybe not do the last one. Oh, it looks like a pretty good layout to me. My only thought is when you're winching, the cable up, are the ones in the middle going to be like a pain in the ass that it kind of hangs on.

But then again there really shouldn't be a reason why the cable is laying on on the deck. At the tilt, the trailer tilts you're going to be grabbing whatever it is from up in the air. It's not like you're going to be on ramps, you're going to hit a pivot and like the cable's rubbing on the deck and then when the vehicle gets up. It's over right.

The other thing i can think of is, if we offset them, maybe a foot to one side kind of get them out of the main main road and would it i would think it would still kind of function. And if you do have some kind of big machinery or something it gives you one side, that's a little bit larger. Let's go move around a little bit. I kicked him over like the width of the winch right there, so the spool won't be near that we could probably even go a little bit more to the right.

The only other option i could think, but i don't know what that would gain us if we were to take every other one and kind of like offset it. Would that do anything for us and or i could always order more and put some on the other side and run a strip down there again? I i rather have more places to tie the thing down than less, because it just gives you that much more options when you're trying to work with something these pockets, you can. You can put cables on these, but first of all to try to get through the center pockets. If you use those yellow tie down straps, you know the larger ones, with a big claw on the end of them.

They don't fit. They don't drop down into the pocket, they go catch underneath them and you know have it flip back up on itself, plus they're kind of whatever you grab. If you run it around, it gets a little bit of a sharp edge on them. They cut, don't know i'm kind of liking that speak now forever hold your peace.

One thing i didn't think about is: if we're going to have a car on here and we use those straps that go over the wheel, i've never used them before. I always just went with um the turnbuckles there and chain. If we were to this, is a 20 foot long trailer. Let's say we have a an axle here or a tire here.

It's probably actually going to be back further, but yeah it'll be back further because the winch is there say the tire is here. So am i going to be able to go from that loop to that loop and ratchet it down? The thing is, i think, they're going to be a little things are going to be a little on an angle going up to the wheel right, let's go, let's go measure, something and we'll see what the width is. So the economy line is pretty much. The wheel outside edges are even with it and it's we're going to go call it 69 inches wide, so that is 69 right to there, and that would be the outside edge of the tire like i said it looks like it'll it'll pull a little bit because So the tire would be about yo wide, so it does look like it'll pull a little bit and come back.

I don't think it'll be an issue, though. If it is, you can order more all right. I measured its length from center of wheel to center of wheel, is 90 inches and that's what the tape is showing right now. So, if that's in the middle of that one, i think this one will be fine too.

It's right about dead center. Of that. Just trying to you know if we need to go, adjust them a little bit more, that's probably your average. I may go measure.

You know, of course, a like a long old 60s american car, maybe longer but or a pickup truck a full-size pickup. That should work all right. I went and measured my truck 144 12 feet. So if i center it in the back, where that would go, you can kind of see in the front that um we're not too centered.

I wonder if we can just actually that one's not in the right spot. Is it if we kind of favor this line right here, we'll move them forward just a little bit and it'll still work for both of them, because you got to keep the other thing. Is tongue weight too? It's not just you know, get it on the trailer. You got to put it on the trailer and have it so that you got about ten percent.

On the back of the truck five to ten percent, i think it is tongue weight on the trailer. So you don't want it light or you don't want it too heavy. So you need to be able to move it a little and on that note all right final answer, so we are 32 apart from the edge on that side and the other edge. We are 40.

42. 42. 48.. The other thing i was thinking too, if you're dragging a car up, say if it's got like a low oil pan or something it's generally whatever it is, is usually in the center of the car.

That's going to hit so having them offset. You can kind of hopefully skate by. I really think that's going to be much of an issue other than the very first approach. You know it's all the way down and you put a car up.

You figure the nose of the car before the wheels start hitting are probably going to hit right about there. You know. So if it's on an angle, you drive the car up till the tires start hitting that and - and it starts going up on incline - i think we'll be fine. I think i'm making too much of it all right.

I'm gon na go wash all these in some kind of acetone or something get the oil off of them and then i'm gon na go come by this deck. Everything on here is uh powder coated, which is they put it in the oven and they cook it. It's like a plastic that goes on there. We're gon na go with our best to grind back, but not do too much and uh.

Yes, we're just gon na go ahead with black paint. When we're done, that's how they come, i think they were fairly cheap. I don't think they're all that much money well done, make bolt-on ones too. All right i'll bring you back all right see how the first one goes, buzz it up yeah a little a little punky on the bottom and turn up the heat a little bit more crank up the volume.

That's better, i'm done cooking, but i made a mistake. I screwed up on one of them. Can you tell, can you see it guys looking on the phone right now, you're breaking the cross side, the second one from us and welded it to the left? I didn't put it center on the line, doesn't line up with the other ones, but nobody will know about you and me all right. Let's go clean them off with some acetone and throw a bit of black paint on and make them look pretty.

If somebody didn't make their white lines so big, we wouldn't have to go so far, we'll give them all two coats, because you know that's gon na leave a mark. You can't even tell can you which ones were factory which ones i put on the factory screwed that one up? That's all all right. I got ta wait till next morning to go get my cables and we can finish this thing up it's the next day and i ended up jumping ahead and just running the wiring on it. You don't want to watch me run wiring anyway, but i'll show you what i ended up doing so i punched a hole through the back of the deck and put a rubber grommet in and they come out underneath.

I think this is a good place for light. Now isn't it so i came out under there and i ran it around the body. I was able to get it into that channel in the back there and all the way down i was able to pop out through that was gon na try doing the same down below. I just couldn't get it to feed all the way down.

So i just went like i was i planned on doing, which is against the rail on the corners. I have two different kinds of uh. I don't know those clamps, the ones right by the bend have are the really good ones with metal built into them. The other ones are plastic, i would have done all metal, but that's all home depot had.

I think they had eight of them. So i used them up. You know basically on the corners, you see those two in the corner, one here where it makes the shark bend and then plastic ones in between 46 feet of battery cable later so that comes up and around goes into the box and then in the box. I cleaned up some of the wiring in here too, but i came in through the same grommet that they have and i ended up putting a breaker in there.

That's a 250 amp breaker, whether that's going to be strong enough for this. I don't know i don't have an answer for that right now, because i haven't tried it yet and then to the battery and, like i said i tucked a bunch of the wiring on the back. They had it flopping all over the place. I was hoping to try to use some of this space to put some cables and tie downs and that kind of thing, but i don't know i don't know if i want that stuff kind of bouncing around with the electrical components.

So that's it she's all set up and uh looks pretty good. I ended up wiring, i took the box apart and i ran the other lead right into the terminal. I didn't try splicing into it and that's the rubber grommet that i went with. I haven't tried.

Scissoring it shut, i think it should be okay, but we'll eyeball, it make sure there's no issues with any kind of pinching or rubbing. I also the breaker was more for if something got chafed and that hot lead grounded into something that it wasn't going to weld itself and burn itself down, that relay is not automatic. Reset you'd have to go back in with a button and hit it. I was on here too looking they just used tie wraps for the hydraulic hoses.

You will probably need to keep an eye on them, but i'm not that crazy about that. I may have to do the same with these hoses. Get some of these better metal connectors and do the same with these kind of secure them a little bit better than that. I have a feeling a year or two down the road they're going to decay and fall apart all right.

What do you say? We uh lower back down, we'll give her a shot and make sure everything's out of harm's way, no lighting's, not that great, but let's see what we get. Why is it doing that? What am i hitting that should not be squirrel one right now, i'm gon na go a little more. I don't know why i did that. It looks pretty good, though huh.

I think that ben will be fine. It was just bouncing off of it. Let's go cycle it one more time: hey good! Let's go double check, make sure that wind still works. So that's a good time.

Zayn! You go see how my weld holds out too. So my i'm curious just if the load like if it'll kick that breaker out. Let's see what we get that's pretty tight, i don't go much more than that seems like it's. Okay, good.

I still think that spool is going to have to maybe after we load a couple of cars you can see even after i put a load on it. Tightening it, it still leaves a crunched up gap. You know compared to cable, seems uh not to have that much of a spring to it did they sell a flat cable too, but again we'll run this one for a while see how we like it. I don't know that's the thing, is it doubles up on itself and it'll get stuck in with the other ones.

The only two things i think i can probably still add to this is make those rack bodies for the side and make them remove bright, get some pressure treated two by fours. I'm not sure. If i need that or not yet it depends. If i, what i find myself hauling, you know, maybe just do it at the front section.

If you get some boxes and stuff you want to tie down, you can push, you know the boxes up against the rails and tie them down and just another front box in here - something that we can put up inside here and maybe maybe even get the lid To flip the other way, actually right, it probably doesn't matter we'll get another box up here for just uh, straps and chains and tie downs. That's the only thing i think we're missing all right guys. I guess gon na call it on this one. It's not my normal wrenching videos, but i figured i'd turn the camera on for something that is a home project for us to get knocked out, and hopefully we see it in the future in other halls out of the woods and it works and earns its keep.

So to speak, hi guys it's diagonal signing off and thank you all for hanging out doing a little bit of wrenching, troubleshooting and uh trouble. That's not troubleshooting, um engineering design, wan na go with that all right guys until the next one i'll see you bye.
