Gooseneck Trailer Build Part 2: Hydraulic Jacks, Toolboxes, and a Winch 

10pm here in Austria. Beer, potato chips and Waldo's trailer series - perfect.

Ashamed we never got the 3rd video. Would have loved to see this thing all the way to completion...

I hope you continue this series, I just found it and can’t wait to watch part 3

I have to think you're going to want some additional structure under that winch. A 12k is going to put some torque on that 3/16" plate. You may want to think about putting some box tube across under it and a front-to-back brace, so the torque doesn't twist the bottom on the box. You might also find that the fairlead isn't happy being used as a directional redirect; although if you mostly stick to rolling loads it may not be an issue. Great job otherwise- I have trailer envy.

One suggestion is you're gonna want a deep cycle battery for that application. I made the same mistake with my dump trailer, the constant cycling will kill a regular battery in no time, also deep cycle battery's produce a more constant power over the cycle of the battery, as opposed to a regular battery is designed for short burst of power. Just a suggestion, loving the build!

Should have made part 3 was enjoying the build

This was great! I wanted to see the continuation for the trailer, I was talking about that earlier with a friend of mine...weird, perfect timing

I found this channel when part 1 came out and I have to say - you are incredibly talented and it shows on a build like this. Can’t wait for the future videos. Hats off to you sir!

Found this channel by chance and its become my favourite

Man is this rig impressive. Hope you like talking about it cause I guarantee you are gonna get plenty of folks looking at it. Great work man.

I wish I were younger and had your pocketbook!!!~! Good Show.

great work WALDO, trailer's coming a long nicely, be interesting to see how much she weighes when your finished !

The attention to detail is incredible

Interested in building my own trailer also. Looks great! When's part 3 going to happen?

Everybody should recognize this guy skills

Love this trailer - I'm envious! But I think you'll need to reinforce that winch mounting, unless you did and I just missed it.

Perfect place for a wireless backup camera. Once you single handed hook up a trailer with one you won't be without.

you deserve way more subscribers bro, you have so much talent

There's two types of people, those that talk about doing things and those that do things. You're getting after it! Can't wait for the shop build...

Friggin awesome job, i wish you to break the 100k sub barrier soon, you deserve it!

Waldo i would take serious what Ted Bownas has suggested below the trailer is awesome none the less Congrats Big time on the build

im pretty sure this channel is my life now loving the videos

Do this all the time at work... Any straight & vertical piece will work, I use a fiberglass driveway marker because we have thousands of them for reusable survey markers. Fasten it to your ball with a velcro strap or some zipties. Using your rear view mirror, center it on the hitch and when you bump it, the trailer should drop right on. Perfect for 1-man hitchup.

2 years later, we are still waiting for part 3.

Car hauler here, look into getting a shocker hitch receiver for the trailer. It isolates the trailer from the truck with an airbag to take some of the NVH from the trailer away from the truck. Also, make sure the spare tire sits sturdy in its mount, because if it shakes as you go down the road, the rattle does transmit down the gooseneck into the truck as well.

That saw is pretty freaking sweet.

You're fast becoming one of my favorite channels, you're almost like Mike Patey but on a realistic budget and some good humor.

I would love to see you finish this series, I'm about to start my own build and have based it off your build. Your videos are great and this may be one of the best channels on this platform, keep up the awsome work!

Out of all trailers built, this style holds a spot in my heart. That said, I don't know your lifestyle and wondered if when modifying a bed on the trucks that move them... would it be a "cool factor" to make the four wheel drive into a designated tow only and come up with some "big boy toy sized truck" on the back where it has tool boxes, a headache rack, dual stacks with the chrome turn outs on top.... possibly a air box with its air stack, lights mounted in the back like the big rigs... and if really lost your blooming mind, a air lift tag axle to allow even bigger trailers. That would involve using a different blueprint for lack of words. "Drewmans driveway is a great channel that did kinda go away after life threw him some curve balls Waldo, but never fear, he's back and finishing a really unique truck build. Only Deboss has had the courage to do the same "differently" and his will be true art form with his million dollar credit limit. Since I have a child like imagination with all these ways to "Spend Waldo's Money" I would use what so far is a wide open chalkboard platform. I like the COE body style of the early fifties as in ford, chevy international all did this for a short while and believe you me, they draw major attention. I think one of these would get you past the silver play button an just maybe a gold button as I dream or degrees in my definitely mellow old years of life. Oh howdy would it be fun for me to go down to your place in the morning, hang out till you cry uncle and send me out on a parts run for muffler bearings. Ah yes I have wasted enough of your time, hopefully you read this while doing another cooking video that made me get up and fix a concoction of my own with lots of juice that could just be a meal its self. Yes, I wish to give you a great merry christmas, a blessed new year and ideas that should take this channel right up the charts to number one and for everyones viewing pleasure. I really enjoy your great sense of humor that much of this world could surely gain from

That truck looks sooooo good, so does the trailer

Been watching the channel for a while and just wanted to say you're a really smart guy and your work is so neat and organized. I've learned a lot from this channel, so thank you.

Love watching your videos

Hey glad to see you back, been waiting to see the rest of this build. Thanks. PS-you could totally pull off the cooking show.

I am glad I found this channel love the projects

this is pretty cool! I personally would add some 0/0ga power wire from the trucks alternator or battery and add a power disconnect to A.) charge the battery for the winch and hydraulics and B.) give power to the winch and hydraulics while the truck is connected.

I have no idea what you are doing or why but i love your attitude toward your work and your viewers. Keep it up and i wish you all success!

For those hood struts, turn them so that the rod faces down. The oils in the strut will keep those seals healthy longer and it won't fail so quickly. Also you may be able to play with the geometry a bit to get the force you need with just one strut. There's some calculators floating around.

We need an update for this trailer build !!!!!! Great work

I was so happy to see part 2 of the trailer build! I checked your Chanel everyday to see if you posted it! Great work!

You have a great personality. You really could have a cooking show on tv. Lol. That is one heavy duty looking trailer. Great craftsmanship on this build

Mount a 4 inch round spot mirror toward the top of the vertical part of the gooseneck coupler and point it down towards the bottom of the hitch and you can see your hitch from the cab of the truck as you back under the trailer. Works great.

Great video, I suggest adding the mirrors like Billy Bob has on Brandon as well. Like those style of mirrors.

WALDOOOOO. YOUR AN INSPIRATION MAN!! love the craft

I think I just found another favorite channel Waldo I do a lot of metal fab my self and love learning new things you da man nice work

Build looks great! I like how you layed out the edges and everything to prevent water pooling. If I may make one suggestion, those gas struts have a tiny bit of oil in them that help to lubricate the seals. If you orient them with the rod pointing downwards the oil keeps the deals from cracking and they last much longer.

The rear of the trailer still hits the ground. Maybe add some type of rollers on it so it doesn’t mess the back up.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Easy protection. This build is absolutely amazing.!💯💪👍

“Anything’s a hammer, except a screwdriver, that’s a punch” - Deboss Garage and now Waldo

Awesome work! Really enjoying the channel

WOW ! what a build... this is every man's dream trailer... I could put all three of my Farmall Cubs on that trailer at the same time !!! Great Build, Amazing Edits, Awesome Narration....

You got me hooked. I'm going to be telling my Uncle about you. He's 87 years old I'm 65. I know this country's gonna be okay with people like you. Men❤ your cool. Great speaker also. God Bless. Ol Happy Easter. Believe

Thanks! Enjoy your channel. Are we going to see part three of the trailer build?

Thanks for the video am building a goose neck out of old camper trailer frames am learning a lot from your videos keep up the good work

Looking good. I’d consider adding a couple gussets on either side of the winch inside that top box… but I tend to abuse my equipment and have been known to bend supports on trailers when I arrive to pick up buried old trucks out of fence rows.

I have that same winch on my car trailer and I love it. It’s never let me down

I like the build. If I might make a suggestion. On my gooseneck, I have a gusset plate where the upright and the front of the trailer deck is located. Near where you mounted the jacks. It adds strength but also serves as a step. I also have a handle near the top of the upright. I'm really looking forward to seeing your build on brandon. I have a Dodge 3500 dually that I want to pull the bed off of and build a flatbed, but I'm not really sure how to deal with the bed frames from the factory bed versus a flatbed. Great content I enjoy watching your channel

Never rely on your backup camera to back up but they are hands down the best thing to hook up a trailer

Hey Waldo, another awesome video. Just a piece of advice if your going to keep bending flat bar, rod etc in the vice make sure to bend it towards the fixed jaw of your vice. Keep up the awesome videos

We need an update for this build! Nice work!

really enjoy watching you fabricate. looking forward to many more videos. keep em coming!

This guy would kill it on Forged in Fire.

Great work! My only suggestion is to drop bolts down through the top (solar charger). If for some reason the nuts/lock nuts were to come loose you still have a bolt dropped down which may hold it together until you see the nuts are gone. If the bolt drops away you're SOL.

Just had an idea... hang some colored threads form the trailer hinge to line it up more easely when backing up the truck

I love your videos, the trailer is looking great. I can’t wait to see what future projects you bring home with it. I used to run a mag base drill pretty often, we used to safety chain it when mounted overhead. You know, just incase someone unplugs or trips over your extension cord (happened more often then you would think).

You’re an animal man. So glad I stumble upon your channel

Looking good! May want to consider weather strips or drain holes (or both!) in that lower tool box to take care of water that will get slung up from the back of the truck.

I just love your videos. You are very talented. I am a 61 year old woman that loves to see things you do. I learn allot . Thank you . Sending regards from Australia

Trailer is looking awesome bud! I stumbled across your channel because part 1 popped up as a suggested video, And I got hooked, Really enjoying your videos keep up the good work!!!

Trailer is coming along nicely I can’t wait to see the next video

WHERE IS PART 3

Been seeing these videos on my recommendations since it came out and haven’t wanted to watch it. Now that I’m rebuilding a trailer, I’m glad I finally did and wish I would’ve watched sooner. Great stuff, going to sit on my butt and watch the rest of your videos now.

Great videos, keep it. Wish nothing but the best for your channel.

unbelievable how enjoyment I get in watching your Builds thank you .

btw, Red curry 🍛 looks delicious 🤤

The hydraulic hose coming through the grommet reminded me of the mechanical Rhino scene in Ace Ventura 2

Waldo, I just love the videos 🥳 I wish I could do all that👍🏻😎

Your channel is amazing. I feed my desire to do man shit like this by watching you. Thanks for the guys being dudes content man👍🏼

I would gusset under that winch plate it will bend. Overall great build

Lesson learned when I built a trailer and built some boxes in, the box lids need a full rim lip that will catch over the outside of the box to prevent rain from getting in, it will also make the lid more rigid and harder for someone to break into. The way you have them done you will want to include some drain holes and paint the inside of the box with truck bed liner or the like. That trailer is bad ass, its nice to make things for yourself as you can take the time to do things the way you want and you don't have to spend time undoing bad ideas of others.

Again man your video quality and editing is incredible Waldo! Are you going to be incorporating a back up camera into the head rack for the duramax? You mentioned how hard it was seeing the ball in a 4 door might be a good option to incorporate

This channel is highly underrated

That Waldo, what a guy, delivering high quality content every single time. Very similar to Toms Turbo Garage!

Just watched part 1 last night and was really sad when I didn’t see a part 2. Nice work!

Great video, Waldo! Trailer looks great. Did you think to add water drain holes in your toolbox and accessories box? I love when you get the magdrill out, to avoid the tedious drilling with a hand drill. 👍

Love all your videos I love how you build a lot of stuff from scratch not to many people doing that anymore

Careful with hydraulic jacks that can lower while you are driving and cause major damage to the trailer. Also looked like the left jack as you pull the trailer wasnt up all the way when the right jack was.

This is one awesome trailer!

Love your videos Waldo. The time and effort you put in your movie is highly appreciated but bump it up to 2 times a week I can’t wait this long ;-) your movies, watch wes work and Diesel Creeck are my favorite

Love your work , your a man of many skills .

Just curious, it's a 12,000 lb winch but the only structure it has is 3/16 plate. If you try pulling anything substantial it's gonna bend that plate really easily.

Great video Waldo, Well done.

Just wondering, are you planning on painting the trailer? Can’t wait to see more on the Duramax flatbed build.

IMHO, Deburring your drilled holes adds a nice finished look, also helps with chafing lines and wires. I am really liking this build, great work!

Awesome build! Just wondering, with that hydraulic set up, would it be possible to hard pipe the hydraulic lines to those jacks?

Great production quality man, AND build quality, nice to see someone not cutting corners

Love the intro!! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming work on your truck - it deserves it! Let's go Brandon!

don't forget some safety chains. hate to see it somehow pop off the ball and go into the ditch. super nice build!

Even If it was a cooking show I'd watch it haha so glad another episode came out! By far my favorite RU-vidr. LETS GO BRANDON

We need the rest of this build

Make sure your jacks are the same travel height, and it's hilarious that you named the truck Brandon haha. Let's go Brandon!!!

You have done an excellent job you are very meticulous it looks amazing I wish they had some of your ability but I’m too old now I’ll be 85 June 6 and all I can do is watch people and I enjoyed watching you build stuff God bless
