A suggestion….. put a d ring at the end of the lift gate and a snatch block. Hook the winch cable up to rear bumper and you can pull the car out onto the gate. Maybe??

@TheCrewChief374 2 года назад

That is a good idea, and I do recall someone I was working with that had a setup much like what you are describing...

@terrymonroe6490 2 года назад

Whats up Tim Nash , didn't know you watch HTF , cool suggestion and hoping for a win your way too

@curtlyons9235 2 года назад

I’ve thought about that, Nash; the problem is the lift gate flips out for a reason. The car is longer than the lift gate so to install a pulley you wouldn’t be able to strap the back bumper bar as the car is too long if that makes sense.

@OldNo7Garage 2 года назад

@@curtlyons9235 yep that does, but, it would get the car over the small hump in the trailer yay or nay

@zombieatak 2 года назад

Yeah. If you can even get the car halfway out on a winch it seems like it would be a big help.

@trevorfout4759 2 года назад

Should be a place to put the big lower pins back in when gate is up so it can't drop

@CoonsFC 2 года назад

We also just purchased a lift gate and also had the issue with it leaking off. We then rebuilt the cylinder and it still leaks off. But we have learned that if you raise the liftgate all the way up like 5 inches above that 2nd floor that it will lock in there and not leak off. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

@swishersnowremoval873 2 года назад

There should be holes for the pins to be put in to keep the gate up. If I remember correctly, you actually raise it up past the second floor, put pins in, the rest the gate on them.

@CHersh61661 2 года назад

There should be a way to lock the lift gate when it's up. I never keep my hydraulics under load, why wear out the pistons. If there is a small leak, it will just get worse. Aren't the louvered doors made for gas or batteries? Wouldn't want something that emits fumes to be in an enclosed space that small. You should shut everything off before starting the generator. Never turn off with a load on it.

"When two dissimilar metals are touching, the electrolyte will jump-start the corrosion process." Steel bolt`s, aluminum heads, Use some anti-seize on the bolt threads to prevent future bolt probs..Same with spark plug threads (very small amount needed)

@stevereeves9392 2 года назад

PVC racks for the springs about the only thing you can do with the gears is Peg them. For your door drop there should be two holes to put the catch pins in. 3in on PVC.

@NickeyMouse 2 года назад

Build a shelf for the gears is a better option

@jameswester650 2 года назад

Watching you shut down generator made me cringe. It's not good on the circuit boards in the generator when shut down under a load. You should disconnect all power from generator before shutting down. Same goes when first starting up generator. Don't start under a load.

@matthewlundrideordie8151 2 года назад

This is the truest comment !!!!!! I cant imagine that all that is hardwired , has to be switches somewhere

@captainwhiplash 2 года назад

It’ll smoke one fast. Also a generator you really don’t know everything about it’s past or honestly I never start one without checking the oil and water. Those Onan gensets are pretty dependable and I’ve been on 36 years on shrimp boats and many different generators from 1, 2 and 4 cylinder hand crank lister generators to 6 cylinder Detroit 671 generators and I’d have to say I’ve seen people kill quite a few not check oil but most of them were ruined or needed repairs from starting and shutting them down under a load.

@michaelhardy6879 2 года назад

HTF!!! Y'all are freaking awesome!!!! Please don't stop what y'all are doing.....

@jamesdayton9530 2 года назад

Consider installing a Safety Chain from the upper floor of the trailer to the Lift Gate when you are working under it. That should be easy to do and provide a little safety if a hydraulic hose should blow out.

@mikeodonnell3390 2 года назад

When you are at the track check out those guys trailers!! There must be someone you know that has a stacker. I still can’t believe a race team without a welder!! Weld up the exhaust and put it back on!! A lot of time you guys make things more difficult then need be.

We had a cabinet that had rods for your gears that came straight out and then hooks for the springs and have cotter pins so they won't come loose during transportation, but we had a cabinet that was mounted up front by the tire rack

@imsowright90 2 года назад

Well, I don't have any ideas that have not been mentioned already. I would make some type of safety mechanism to insure that liftgate does not fall on you. Great video. Don't forget about that restrictor plate. God bless.

@travishanner9970 2 года назад

Oh yeah, hook up a master disconnect to the generator. That way, you can completely remove the load before start up and shut down. I learned the hard way. Started mine up one day with the air compressor still plugged in, and the added strain, couples with low/no oil pressure at start up, slung the rod right out the side of the block!! AND, DONT FORGET THE RESTRICTOR PLATE!!! Good luck at Whynot this weekend!!!

Springs-Plywood and some pvc at a slope and cover the face with carpet. Super easy and will look great, put the dyno next to it in that cabinet. Put shocks next to it the same way. We always just made a tray and stacked the gears up right or a pin board style on the side of the cabinet.

@ronniehedrick8358 2 года назад

You can put the gears in the bottom drawer of the tool drawer section. Then use dividers to organize them on their sides spine up. Then use decals or labels to put ratios on spine of gear case. You can put 4.86 sets on left and 4.11 on the right if you carry both

@enzodillon4898 2 года назад

For your gear situation i would use the Allstar Performance Gear Box. You can put multiple gears in each box which is very helpful. We have got 4 boxes and it holds all of the gears from a 4.86 to the top gear.

@T-N-TRacing 2 года назад

You could make foam shadow boards for the gears similar to how you would do foam boards for toolboxs. You could go as far as etching metal tags to label all the spots for the gears for quick grab and go.

We used old plastic vhs cases to hold our gears. We would write the ratios on the out side so it made it easier to find.

@jimwark2200 2 года назад

What we have done with headers,is towards the back around the turndown area? Weld a washer on it and hook a stiff spring on it to the chassis,helps carry some of the weight!!

@tanked8820 2 года назад

I used pvc pipe to hold shocks and springs. 3 or 4 inch pipe. And the gears used a small cabinet and stack them like dvds left to right from lowest to highest

@1AMERICANWORKER 2 года назад

-To store springs in my trailer, I made a " pigeon hole " type rack from PVC pipe. Just get pipe that will fit your springs inside, lay them side by side, and prime and glue them together. The first one I made by stacking the rows and just using PVC cement. Springs being heavy and roads being bumpy meant we found a broken spring rack when we got to the track. The second one was built the same way, but we put it between 3/8 plywood walls. This was used for years. hope this helped. As for the gears, remember the old VHS tapes and the racks they were stored in? Build the same style rack scaled up for gear cases. Caution, just use cases with center pins to keep the gears apart.

@Robert-rk8xu 2 года назад

They sell those cases. Most race shops should carry them.

@crashzila 2 года назад

What I've always found the best thing to do with those stackers is to keep the tires on some sort of wheelie rack in the hallway of the trailer then when you get to the track you just wheel it out and put it up top where the car was

@billylaycock1266 2 года назад

A suggestion for when you guys are going up to the top to get the car. Loop the remote around the long chain holding the door up. And it will stay up there while you unload. You can get round PVC pipe for your springs.

@captainwhiplash 2 года назад

Cut a couple pieces of extruded aluminum and put them between the floor and the gate while it’s open till ya get time or money to get the whole hydraulic system serviced

@gardinflame235 2 года назад

Should be using ARP stainless STUDS instead of header bolts. Have been using them for over 30 years and never had an issue. Never have to mess around to align a header, just slide it on and be sure to use the washers and nuts that come with them. I use the 12 point nuts, they have 12 or 6 point to chose from. You may want change your mind before you start tearing threads out of the cyl. heads....

@travishanner9970 2 года назад

There is t some kind of latch , like on a regular car lift, that hold the lift gate in the up position? Also, if you fold the ramps back up, you want have as much weight hanging that far away...not as much leverage for the door to work against. Love the trailer. So happy for you guys!!! #HTFNation rocks!!!

@jeremiahjohnson5180 2 года назад

@wingbeateroutdoors9556 2 года назад

You guys could put two chains that hook into d-rings at the front of the lift gate that attach to the trailer itself to hold the lift gate from dropping down and just set the chain length however long you want to have good working clearance below and it would serve as your extra chains to help hold it too

@ronvonbon 2 года назад

suggestion... put a hook on the side/back of the trailer on the second level to hang your remote so it doesn't fall on the ground.

@philgee2240 2 года назад

You need a hook up cable to run off the mains at home. Put the springs in shorts lengths of drain pipe . Just put the gears in a one of the shallow drawers in the tool cabinets.

@andybmx28 2 года назад

For the springs you can use PVC pipe with caps on one end. Screw those to Plywood, cut to fit the place you have for them.

@mikepriceup 2 года назад

@yupyup4020 2 года назад

When opening the door hold it closed and let it almost all the way down to put tension on the chains. Then pull the top of the door open and start to raise it up that will keep it from banging and flapping around. If you pull it open as soon as it clears the channel at the top it has to much slack in the chains and bangs around.

@gunnerfrank317 2 года назад

That’s a new pump in that trailer. That gate always came down a little bit. That shelf is where I also put the gears. I built that shelf. Was a ac unit in there at one point in time. I still have the shelf for the springs that sat in there. Don’t slam that ramp down like that. I had it broke on me once and had to replace it. We bought that trailer brand new.

@redneckwrench7374 2 года назад

As people have said the cylinders can cause the deck to drop. But I would change out the spool valve on the power pack first. Fixed a lot of deck dropping issues with spool valves. Also change the oil out, never hurts to do that on equipment new to you.

@johncarter1137 2 года назад

I don't know how the lift gate works but it seems that it should be able to be locked into place as a safety precaution in case a line or seal blows out. I have investigated a fatality or two in my career with OSHA when someone was under something held up by hydraulics that failed. Not a pretty sight when that happens.
