@@guyina4x499 yeah threw caution to the wind a bit but the Chevy LS didn’t let me down… barely. Haha. And yes I sure do, here’s the link to the lift: heavyliftdirect.com/products/409-dpx-9-000lb-double-parking-lift . That’s the website I ordered mine from, they had the best price and they’re solid guys. Absolutely recommended 👍
Aways have spare for trailer and truck,,also have a wood block or have a good jack with you. 3 tie straps would be better. Next time you blow a trailer tire, wrap a tie around the axle and hold that wheel above the ground, and if you can, remove the wheel. When i travel, i bring spare tires, hyd jack, wood blocks, extra oil, a water jug, jump box, flash lights, extra tie downs, or chains and binders, extra fuses and some hand tools.
Congratulations Barry. Tip for driving a truck and trailer. What you want to do is spend as much time driving forward as possible. So instead of trying to squeeze your trailer into a small space like you did . Driving all the way up to the repair shop and the slowy back up your trailer towards those gas pump because it has loads of room. ( So while backing*Slowly* up put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and turn the wheel where you want your trailer to go). I have to drive truck and trailer in NYC 😂🫣🤬. Unfortunately
@@noboltsleftbehind. It’s not a fun drive with the trailer but thanks god for my partner and his second set of eye. It’s those dam bikes and motorcycles that will get you in trouble
Very good advice. And don't wait until you need it again to hook it up. Get it out and go practice somewhere. Maneuvering a trailer is not as easy as some make it look. As I'm sure you know now.
Lessons learned.... always carry at least one spare. Break lug nuts loose before jacking. Use the factory jack that came with the truck instead of buying that POS. Always check tire pressures before towing. Turn on the tow/haul mode switch on the end of the gear selector and stay below 65mph/ 2500rpm to maximize fuel mileage and save that transmission.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure we have all learned the same lessons in different ways but some of that trailer footage brought back horrible memories of how I learned to be the self proclaimed expert I am now. 😂😂
@@allboostnojuice yeah I’ve been on a pretty low budget since going full-time car builder. But in hindsight I probably should have sprung for at least the second worst jack. Haha.
@ lol. I hear ya. I was about to do something similar this weekend. Fly to Texas pick up a golf cart but rent a truck and throw it in the bed. But found someone on UShip to bring it to me for cheaper.
Man that was a crazy Journey. I used to be that crazy up until about my early 30s. That's when I slowed down and started to research things beforehand. Do I still do crazy things? Rarely, because I do a little bit of homework beforehand . But these kind of crazy things are what life experiences are made of and also develop Grit. This was a very enjoyable video. I actually watched it from beginning to the end.
Loving the vlog-ish content, gives us a good insight to behind the scenes of what goes into the life of restoring/modding/working on cars. Excited for the new garage
@@tcjmods73 thanks man! It was actually one of your comments a few videos back that made me think I should film more of my car-related adventures outside of the garage. I appreciate ya following along!
@@JCS1069 if I remember correctly the shipping quote was around $1,500 but I was warned not to take that “cheap” shipping option. Apparently they get damaged by forklifts.

@@myronsherman8571 there’s no such think as free shipping, it just means it’s baked into the price 😉 the lift I bought was many thousands cheaper than a Bendpak
As soon as you said low trailer tires I was thinking, time to fill them up at a gas station or something.(Around me we have Wawa, and it’s free) I’m only 8.5 minutes in though so I’ll see what happens.
Adventures in trailering! Been there and done that. It all worked out for you and looks like it was a fun trip. Next time you will know to be sure to have at least one trailer spare (two would be better). You can buy or make a mini ramp that you drive the good tire up on that will lift the blown tire up off the ground to change, no jacking needed (I brought the one I have, called a Trailer Aid). It is still a good idea to have a small bottle jack as a back up just in case for some reason both tires on the same side are down (it does happen).
@@micahpaul20 I had to look up what TSC stood for, haha. Yes they’re awesome, the workers there were super nice and even came out to check on me a few times. Wish we had them down here in Southern California

Here in Georgia, we call that the 5:00 drive home 😆😆😆... Really enjoying your stuff, can't wait for the next video. Keep it coming bro!💯✌🏿👍🏿
I'm just glad you made it but always remember always keep you a couple of spare tires for your trailer or at least one make sure you have a truck spare tire you always check your windshield wipers and next time get you a bottle jack they are a lot better for jacking up trailer axles
wow what an adventure! your videos are so good! hope the algorithm does its magic soon and your views skyrocket like your channel deserves it!! greets from germany :)
WOW !!! What a trip...all that wind noise, rain, ticking and those pov shots made it a very nervous video for me, I was thinking any minute something else would go wrong.
did you check your truck if it has the tire jack and other tools? You flip up the back seat and they should be mounted against the back cabin wall under the seat/backrest, close to the floor. The truck jack would have definitely been strong than the one you bought at HF
So lucky finding the truck and trailer so quickly and very reasonably priced! Nothing like that in the Phoenix area- trailers go for $3500 and up regardless of age or condition.
@@rixtrix11 yeah that trailer was an especially lucky find, I only had like three or four to choose from and this one was the closest to the warehouse. They’re definitely more expensive here in LA area too

you should have had spare tire and floor jack battery impact too it crazy you ran on that flat tire all that time too you always need at least one or 2 spare tires

$5000 for truck, equipment, airfare, lodging and gas at least. I’d say $5500 - $6000 for a resale on the truck and trailer is pretty lucky here in a Southern California .

$3,500 for that truck is a good buy as long as it came with a $1K gift card, gold plated wheels and lifetime gas. If not, it was only worth $1,500 at most.
At least you got a good buy on the trailer.
@@bigospig definitely not in the Dallas area, I searched far and wide and that’s what you’re gonna pay for a pickup truck with an LS V8 under 200k miles. I promise you won’t find anything near 1500
Have you seen the prices people are asking for clapped out old Silverado 2500s? $3500 seems like a steal compared to what I see around here.
That truck was not worth the price
Seriously! My wife knows better how to change a tyre than that! Mind you, you Americans are never more than a couple hours from some form of AAA assistance. Maybe we should look into revoking your man card!
The places my wife and travel we can be 2 1/2 DAYS from any kind of help, crossing the Simpson Desert from Birdsville, Qld to the Mt Dare Roadhouse, in South Australia. (And that's after the 3 days to travel the 1000mi, on some of the roughest roads, to get to Birdsville.) Or 3 1/2 from Uluru to the West Coast.
Watchinng this you need to stay at home and dont do anymore of these trips for the money that you spent you could have pd the freight
@@genemiller7053 I definitely spent way less money than what I would have paid I freight. I would know, I’m the guy who spent the money 😂
