I know that jb weld putty at the auto parts store works good for plugging small holes, because you can sand it when it hardens. But I'd recommend drilling a drain hole in the bottom of every post you've drilled into, so water can't stand in them and rust.
1. Drill guide $10 drill straight holes, but if there are two guys on the project you should be able to help the guy drilling the holes 2. Since you moved the tubes back to avoid the bolt going inside the upright, your cable will most likely catch on the frame of the trailer. I know because I have the same trailer. I drilled the holes where the upright tubes are and used extensions on the ratchet. 3. You need M8 x1.25 x100 mm stainless steel carriage bolts (amazon) to mount the tubes. The springs are catching on the heads of the bolts you used to mount the tubes.
So I just installed my grill a lift kit today and I had no problems I didn't even have to read the instructions and it works absolutely greatyou can use just one but it makes your tailgate come up crooked which weakens the structure it's best to put both on so it pulls the tailgate evenly
Hi nick I love you channel I was just wondering where you get your music? I really love the music you use and I have been trying to look for some good music for my channel. Thanks keep up the great work!
I got the no name brand unit and they only included too long of a hardware so had to go. I did mine on one side, seems to work fine, and my gate is very heavy.
I don't understand what keeps the gate from slamming forward when the spring is pulling the gate up. I put some garage door springs on my trailer and it seems to want to pull the gate out of your hands when you lift it. I'm guessing it's something to do with my placement on the springs
Nice video I have to start putting all my goodies on my trailer also I have them sitting in the garage in unopened boxes I’ll have a fun day here soon ha ha ha
sounds like the spring knocking against one of those bolts. ramps are a very sore subject with me. I have what we call a "beavertail" basicly a flat bed Mercedes van with a ramp. company that made them decided to run a high tension spring ontop of the ramp so you constantly trip over the thing, they could do with watching your video mate. new lawn care set ups looking good! glad there is going to be less scag rolling around even if they are pretty good machines, sometimes customer service is high priority than reputation. all good having great mowers but not so much if they are sat in a workshop 2 months a year wasting possible work time.
Simon from the UK here.... looking one mean trailer Nick. As for pizza being mooned at,Is he sure he wasn't looking in the door mirror 🤣. He spent a long time looking at it lol. Pizza is a bit heavy handed on your tools etc,I thought I saw a level on the electric drill so how he does not drill holes level is beyond me as you can always use a tape measure to get them right etc. Another quality video from the ninjas. See you tomorrow ninjas
Two things...1. You need carriage bolts inside the spring tubs so they don't catch on the spring 2. You should have a washer on the outside of the cable loop connection on the bolt attached to the tailgate...to minimize the possibility of the cable loop "jumping off" the bolt
When I was younger we used to call them drive by moonings. It was funny till we got pulled over on I-95 by a state trooper. Needless to say he didn't find it as funny as we did.
