    Those wheel dolleys are a cool tool. I am surprised that bracket broke, it looked like a thick bit of steel. We find that it can make a problem seem worse when it is being recorded and things don't go well

    Great video Mitch! I was just thinking I hadn't seen one from you in a while and apparently I'm slacking, lol. Vehicle repairs are not in my wheelhouse, so I'm very impressed with what you did. Hope it lasts till you can buy the new lift kit. 😁👍

    Hey Mitch, Your perseverance is amazing! I would have given up at the first sign of trouble! Excellent repair. But because both sides of that bracket were either broken or cracked I would say it wasn't engineered correctly. What do you think? Nice job making the video! Cheers!

      Thanks Mike probably should have given up😂it all worked out. I would have to agree with you. I think the bends weakened the already thin steel plate. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳

    Yikes. I am wondering about those springs. They looked kind of flat. Maybe even overbent / stressed ?? Camera angle? Do they make the camper lean or do they squeak at all when your travelling? What, me worry? HA. 🤠

    • @MJADoingStuff
      @MJADoingStuff  Рік тому +1

      I feel like they are wore out but I was just trying to get clearance for the tow hitch and automatic levelers. I use the camper to tow the tractor to the property and it works way better now. No squeaks but has a lean to the passenger side. I am saving up for a custom set of springs in the future. Thanks for checking out the video. 😁👍🚜💨🍳

    I mentioned your channel in the top 5 tractor mods challenge that has been going around UA-cam lately. It would be cool if you could participate.
    Hope your doing well since nothing new has come out for awhile.

    Do you plan on installing the weldtec lift yourself when you get it?
    I'm looking into one also but don't want to pay the 3500 for installation.

    Hi, by adding the lift block, does this affect the ride quality???

      @@jetlimaximize I have not noticed any difference except the difference in height. The only difference is now I am running 50psi on the air bags instead of 90psi before trying to get it higher. But it does seem to feel like a over loaded truck both ways 😂 thanks for watching

    Inside storage and keeping out of salt is making the underneath look rust free. You should see mine from driving in salt and parking on grass :(

      @MJADoingStuff  Рік тому

      Morning B Hall😁 our first year it was outside on the grass too. Inside is nice to be able to work on also. When we went to the San Francisco to visit family we ran into a lot of snow up in the mountains. I don’t know if they use sand and salt but we did gain some rust from that trip. Thanks for checking out the video Have a great day. 😁👍🚜💨🍳

    • @MJADoingStuff
      @MJADoingStuff  Рік тому +1

      I guess you didn’t watch the video. 😁 It’s just a 2”inch block of metal in between the leaf springs and axle to raise the static height of the vehicle. Let me know if that helps. Have a great week😁👍🚜💨🍳
