    Hi, I’m Dan
    Basically I’m just this crazy guy from Lethbridge, Alberta , that has this crazy expensive hobby. Being retired I had to come up with a way to pay for this insanity without touching my retirement cash.
    So what’s the solution? Of course it’s making extra dollars hauling junk, removing scrap, and breaking crap apart separating the metals to get the most bucks possible and keeping these valuable resources out of the landfill.
    So I really hope you subscribe and join along as I follow my adventure on checking dumpsters and alley for some free junk, as well as going to auctions and buying some stuff to resell and scrap
    We will also be going to car shows and swap meets! Why because I really like doing that and ya I’ll bore you with hot rods and cruises even the occasional drag race

    If you haven't done it you might want to replace all the wheel bearings. You're going to be hauling way heavier things than the original wimpy house box. All bearings are not created equal so recommend getting a higher quality set. Germany, Japan. Bearings are significantly cheaper than axles. Nice job. I'm sure it will serve you well for years.

      @@nicejunk666 Parts in Canada are so expensive. As a minimum I would pull, clean and repack what you have. You can usually tell if a bearing is crapping out.

      @johndaley9188 true but my prices were Canadian dollars the exchange rate is at 32% that’s why it seems high
