Anyone Can get that lock off in under 2 min with the right tool. Just need to pull their handy dandy lockpickinglawyer out of their pocket and its all over.
Wow, thanks for shining some light on my 3 am strange feelings. I leave for work at 5 am but like to sleep till 4 am the last few months I have been up at 3 am without a chance of going back to bed and had this sinking feeling inside . Much love !
@@01AceAlpha so what you're saying is if i have a gun and a bear's chasing me, instead of risking a shot at the bear, i should just shoot someone else in the leg? perfect :)
Don't forget to weld the backs of the nuts on the trailer reciever. All the locks in the world won't stop someone from crawling under, wrenching the bolts off and replacing the entire reciever. 5 minutes of time and defeats almost every ball/hitch lock on the market. Replace all bolts with grade 8's and weld em on!
He literally began the episode by removing two bolts that held the coupler on. my guess would be that anyone with a tow vehicle capable of taking that trailer, could have a coupler on hand. A box wrench and impact drill would take less than 2 minutes to take off and replace. Throw the coupler lock in the back and go. That said, very little can stop a thief. I like to put a spud bar through the wheel rim. or a cable. Put a tag on your lock key as a reminder. Most thieves won't take the time to check the undercarriage. If they tow, the axle or wheels will most likely give, or stop the motion. If they break, the trailer will bottom out and cause all kinds of problems trying to unhitch. If they lock up the wheels, they will be bound and will take time to unbind. If you fix the wheels to bind, chances are they won't get anywhere fast.
Believe it or not this is a very common mistake, iv seen a shed door with 5 heavy duty locks from top to bottom and the owner convinced its secure and but on the opposite side 9 screws (pz2) that fixed the hinge's on left fully exposed.
Just buy sockets that have full lifetime. Than you can use whatever you want. If your worry is that you will damage the bolt, pretty sure you are either over torquing it or you might need a stronger bolt. I've used the same craftsman sockets with every impact ratchet and breaker bar i own and have yet to have one break on me. Not saying to buy the cheapest lifetime sockets you can find, but buy good enough, and don't worry about them. The day they break on you, you can take a break and go exchange it. As far as the east coast jokes. Some times I can admit it comes off a little personal, but in general I realize it is all in good fun. There are many things I think are poor decisions that those on the west coast make, but i would never point them out in a direct and cruel manner. We have all been part of building this once great country that the left is now tairing apart. Not to make the conversation political, but its true. Get over it. If it wasn't true, I wouldn't be saying it. Appreciate the great videos, and I hope you and your family are doing well.

@Wranglerstar, I have this same lock. You are supposed to hook your safety chains on the “ball insert” piece. That’s why they make it flat. Then you spin the chains tight so that they can’t be used to pull the trailer without the hitch.

I’ve been waking up at 3am for the past two weeks and most of the time I can’t fall back asleep. It’s interesting hearing you deal with the same thing and your reasoning behind.
the biggest weakness to a trailer is not having a locked hitch pin on the vehicle side. Thief just simply pulls your 2 inch receiver out of your receiver and puts in their 2 inch receiver... Lock up on both sides of the trailer and the truck. As far as people crying about the East Coast jokes... I am Florida Man, there are more memes about Florida Man than anywhere else. Get over yourselves folks and enjoy the content.

As an EAST COAST GUY, I love to hear "gave up the ghost" in reference to failed equipment/tools as I have used that phrase for decades. Good on ya mate! lol. YAMAS!
I’m up at 3am every morning… I can fall right back to sleep sometimes, and I Fight to go back to sleep sometimes… I’ve never known or heard this before. Thank you. I thought it was just me.
In the Middle Ages, it was common for people to go to bed early, have a "first sleep," wake up for a few hours in the early morning hours, and then go back to sleep until their internal alarm clock sounded. They went to the toilet, chatted to bed-fellows, had sex, smoked tobacco, preyed or read. Some even visited neighbours during that early morning gap. Then they went back to bed to "second sleep". First and second sleep started to disappear during the late 17th Century. The practice of multiple sleeps gradually disappeared-first among the urban upper classes in northern Europe and over the course of the next 200 years filtered down to the rest of Western society.
My husband and I have been watching you, and last night my husband listened to this particular UA-cam. I also wake up between 2:30-3:00 am. It started over 4 years ago, horrible nightmares that Joe would have to wake me up! Now when I wake up at this time, to balance out the anxiety, I get into the Word. Thank you for sharing this....it's a relief to understand and now I just make it my quiet time for Him. ~~Fran Macdonald
I am an East Coast guy and I love the humor in your channel. I don’t always agree with 100% of what you say but I love that about you as an individual and I believe in liberty with responsibility. I keep listening for lots of reasons. It’s great entertainment in my book. Keep going Cody
I can testify to that as well. Being woken up at 3:00am has happened to me countless times since I gave myself to Jesus and made him the Lord of my life. Any time your having a nightmare or are awake and feel an evil presence near you cast it out in the of Jesus. It has worked every time and just saying his name in the middle of a demonic nightmare will immediately wake you up. When my dad was still alive he would tell me that there is power in the name of Jesus, and was absolutely correct.
Sometimes when I am praying my mind will wander. When that happens I command that satin leave my heart and mind in the of Jesus my lord and savior. That's all it takes, works every time.
Few hundred years ago it was a common thing that people would wake up in the middle of the night and spend an hr or two studying by candlelight then go back to sleep again.
You don't need no stinking lock to secure a trailer. Just do it like we do up here in Detroit. You can't steal what you can't move. TAKE THE WHEELS OFF!!
as a person who routinely had to unlock those: the only problem with their design is that they tend to "freeze" in winter - water gets inside them super easily and freezes the locking mechanisim.
Cody, just woke up at 3 AM like you are talking about (I’m and east coast guy). Felt exactly what you’re talking about, as a fellow brother of Christ. Stand strong! Thank you for the words!
@@Ben4149 wranglerstar did that in about 45 seconds. Minus the impact wrench it may take a little longer but you’re still talking about less time and noise than hooking up a truck would take
Why even bother with a high quality lock. I used to work constuction in my experience. Leaving it locked with a chain and a cheep padlock to your truck is enough.
I discovered you a few days ago and can't get enough . It's refreshing to see a man of faith that's normal . Dirt bikes , aftermarket truck parts , guns ect . Thank you !
Another tip is to make sure you don't give the thieves any equipment to use. For example, don't leave your angle grinder or plasma torch sitting next to the gun safe. Don't keep shovels etc in the bed of your truck. And I can't stress this enough, lock your doors. Don't make it easy for them.
As someone that lives in the south east, most people down here know it's hard to steal stuff when you're full of holes and lead shrapnel. Had someone in my driveway last night just parked in a car. Got them on the IR scope and they heard the bolt get racked back. They promptly left.
A 65 yr old Texas man was just arrested for murder when he shot and killed a man sitting in a car on his driveway. The girlfriend of the deadman said he was probably lost and just stopped to look up directions. Be very careful about taking another persons life.
I wake up in the 3am-4am time frame most days. I pray to myself and go back to sleep. Only 2 years ago I was told by my wife the same meaning you’ve discussed. For me it seems to happen more when I have something heavy on my mind.
"I have a plasma torch. I have an angle grinder. I can get through anything".... For the new viewers here, those are reinforced by dual alternators. That's how it gets through everything! As for the "East Coast Guys" thing, regionally, everyone has a group they pick on amicably; Texas has Okies, New York has New Jersey, Canada has Newfies, the Swiss have Belgians, and so on.
My neighbor has one of those tire "boots" installed on his trailers that traffic cops use. Always seems like a more effective measure than trying to armor the ball hitch.
Hi. Hi I am in the U.K. I have watched your videos since the the one when you shot the wolf/Cyote.. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad... Have watched your two youngsters grow with great interest... Keep on going life goes on... Trevor.....
EAST COAST GEORGIA MAN HERE. I smile/laugh every time you make an EAST COAST BOYS joke. Lighten up folks, take a joke, and be secure in your manhood so you can take a joke!! Great video as always, Cody.
Grampaw hindsight says: You had the tools to take the hitch off the trailer. Just keep it in the shop under lock and key until you're going somewhere with the trailer. It's only two bolts, bolts the determined thief could take off if he had a spare hitch he was going to use, which he might go get if he sees that expensive lock contraption you got.
Thats what I was thinking, those bolts are only 3/4 or 1"? Somthing that big is going to need scouted out. For example, now everyone knows what adjustable drop ball attachment to get without doing any homework. Go buy the replacement part, get a couple wrenches, go find where the trailer is at and plan accordingly. Real simple, real quiet.
I was very saddened to hear of your father's passing. I too lost my father back in 1992 and still miss him after all these years. Watching you work in your shop reminds me of my dad teaching me to weld and use a cutting torch when I was 12 years old. My parents started their married life in a 2-room house that was given to them as a wedding gift. Over the years, my dad never hired anything done. Therefore, it seemed that I always had a tool belt around my waist as we made improvements to the home. My mom just celebrated her 83rd birthday and still lives in that same home to this day. I share these things just to let you know that there are many of us men who are carrying on the legacies that our father's left us. Another common thread that binds you and I is our strong faith in the Lord. Without Jesus Christ, I am nothing and I know you feel the same way. Even though I do not own a homestead, I still enjoy watching you create and improve yours. I will lift you up in my prayers and wish you and your family God's richest blessings. Keep sharing your UA-cam channel as it brings me and others a great deal of enjoyment (and I learn a lot of new things as well). God Bless!!!
Been watching you for years. Great content learn a ton of valuable tips and hacks that are clear and easy to follow. The real reason I keep coming back to you is your devotion to God. You are not ashamed to state your faith share Gods word and you pray for all of us. Bravo to you for this. Blessings to you, your family , and all your subscribers.
This is kind of spooky to tell you the truth. I've been waking up at 3AM for no apparent reason for years now and it has driven me almost mad each time it's happened. The next time I awaken at 3, I'll make it a point to start praying and see where the Lord leads.
“Get right with God.” If you lost viewers because of this statement; so be it. They’ll leave with that nugget in their minds. Whether the time is today or an infinite number of years from today, the message remains the same. We are called to witness, and you are doing just that. Go boldly forward! Onward!
Out here in New York I really appreciate all the extra time you take to thoroughly explain all of these fancy west coast technologies 🤙 keep up the awesome content 🤙
Cody I am curious if you have seen an increase in horse ownership where you live. In our area the local Mennonites in the Angeles Camp (CA) have seen an increase in the number of English (non Mennonites) wanting small buggies. Horse and buggies on the roadways have increased. Owning a buggy that can be drawn by a horse, donkey, if you have land could be a wise choice if one lives within 10-15 miles of a town.
As a good east coaster. I love a good Westcoaster. Waking at 2:30 ,and to be in a five minute window every time was a bit odd at first ... I used to sleep like a rock. Its nice to know I'm not alone,
I see locks as time buying devices. So that the amoung of time and level of noise the larva has to take and do is such that I give me time to notice and react. Its 2021, thieves have 60v battery tools..
I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use chrome sockets with an impact wrench. If the east coast guys loose their sense of humor, feel free to poke fun at Midwest, Cincinnati city dwellers.
That 3am hour I've always heard as "The Witching Hour" for the same reasons you describe. In medieval times, Christians would pray at multiple times during the day (the Divine Office) including waking around 2-3am to do Matins (singing hymns, praying/reciting certain Psalms, etc). It's neat to hear that discussed on this channel. God bless!
I’m from West Virginia and I always got a kick out of the east coast guy comments… 🤣 Having said that, I must say that I have much more respect for the “Upper WestCoast” guys than the lower… Keep up the good work, we love your videos, and we pray for your continued success.
I've been waking up at 3am almost every night for the last year. I did not know about this. I couldn't explain to my fiance why I couldn't just stay in bed and why I had to get up and do something.
I’m an East Coast guy. Your ribbing makes me laugh out loud sitting at my workbench in my garage. It’s how guys connect with other on the jobsite. It’s saying you like someone without being mushy or awkward. Makes work fun. I too, wake up at 3am. When I don’t spend time with Jesus every day, life gets hard. The Bible has become so fun to me. Thanks for sharing your life. I’ve enjoyed watching.
Cody here on the east coast the thieves are also carrying the portion of the trailer you removed with the impact and chrome socket. They unbolt that section let it hit the ground with the lock attached then bolt the one they brought with them to your trailer and hook up and away they go. I would suggest a couple of spot wields around the bolts so they can’t unbolt that section very easily.
I've had more and more dreams within the last few years, and my spirit feels the attack more often (awake) than any time in my life! PRAYER!!! WORKS!!! God bless you!!
I was an east coast otr truck driver dealing with a fifth wheel but when I moved to Oklahoma was the first time using a traler hitch & a goose neck trailer
Cody, I am personally not a man of faith but I truly love the true and righteous nature it gives you. You are truly a man of resolve and high morals. I am glad you find such solace and foundation in religion. It is an amazing way of living life. With the extra cushion of faith and hope it provides. I may not be a believer myself but I can certainly respect one. I hope you and everyone else have a wonderful day.
East coast guy here,no offense taken sir :) Lived on the east coast most of my life(except Army days)Met a few west coast guys,like you,most were good men. May God bless you and yours :D Peace
I'm an East Coast guy from PA. Love your videos including your humor. No offense taken here. I have learned much and appreciate how you humbly share your faith as well. I am fairly new to your channel. I hope you continue to share your videos and may your subscribers share your channel. God bless you and your family.
I live in Tennessee and I love your channel sorry for your loss. And we pick on west coast guys like you you pick on east coast it’s all out of love brother
I actually found and started watching this channel because at the end of a lockpicking lawyer video it showed a video of you trying out precisely this kind of lock.
I recently saw a video that explained how people used to sleep before the industrial revolution, and they described people sleeping in two stages, first sleep, second sleep where they woke up in the middle of the night for about 2 to 4 hours and then went back to bed.

I’m up at 3am every morning… I can fall right back to sleep sometimes, and I Fight to go back to sleep sometimes… I’ve never known or heard this before. Thank you. I thought it was just me.
In the Middle Ages, it was common for people to go to bed early, have a "first sleep," wake up for a few hours in the early morning hours, and then go back to sleep until their internal alarm clock sounded. They went to the toilet, chatted to bed-fellows, had sex, smoked tobacco, preyed or read. Some even visited neighbours during that early morning gap. Then they went back to bed to "second sleep".
First and second sleep started to disappear during the late 17th Century. The practice of multiple sleeps gradually disappeared-first among the urban upper classes in northern Europe and over the course of the next 200 years filtered down to the rest of Western society.
Not just you guys.
mmmm Glad to know that I'm not alone any more>>>>>>>
There are songs about 3am
My husband and I have been watching you, and last night my husband listened to this particular UA-cam. I also wake up between 2:30-3:00 am. It started over 4 years ago, horrible nightmares that Joe would have to wake me up! Now when I wake up at this time, to balance out the anxiety, I get into the Word. Thank you for sharing this....it's a relief to understand and now I just make it my quiet time for Him. ~~Fran Macdonald
I'm on the East Coast of South Africa - always thought we're part of the heckling - so please keep it up.
I am an East Coast guy and I love the humor in your channel. I don’t always agree with 100% of what you say but I love that about you as an individual and I believe in liberty with responsibility. I keep listening for lots of reasons. It’s great entertainment in my book. Keep going Cody
I can testify to that as well. Being woken up at 3:00am has happened to me countless times since I gave myself to Jesus and made him the Lord of my life. Any time your having a nightmare or are awake and feel an evil presence near you cast it out in the of Jesus. It has worked every time and just saying his name in the middle of a demonic nightmare will immediately wake you up. When my dad was still alive he would tell me that there is power in the name of Jesus, and was absolutely correct.
Sometimes when I am praying my mind will wander. When that happens I command that satin leave my heart and mind in the of Jesus my lord and savior. That's all it takes, works every time.
Amen to that , Noah .
Few hundred years ago it was a common thing that people would wake up in the middle of the night and spend an hr or two studying by candlelight then go back to sleep again.
You don't need no stinking lock to secure a trailer. Just do it like we do up here in Detroit. You can't steal what you can't move. TAKE THE WHEELS OFF!!
Or they would defeat the door of an inclosed trailer and take everything with them.
2:30, In all my time with trailers I never thought to look underneath to see how the hitch works, thanks for this
as a person who routinely had to unlock those: the only problem with their design is that they tend to "freeze" in winter - water gets inside them super easily and freezes the locking mechanisim.
Blast it with methanol
Cody, just woke up at 3 AM like you are talking about (I’m and east coast guy). Felt exactly what you’re talking about, as a fellow brother of Christ. Stand strong! Thank you for the words!
What prevents someone from unbolting that whole thing from the trailer, throwing their own trailer ball attachment on and hooking it up?
Sounds like too much work, time and noise.
@@Ben4149 wranglerstar did that in about 45 seconds. Minus the impact wrench it may take a little longer but you’re still talking about less time and noise than hooking up a truck would take
Why even bother with a high quality lock. I used to work constuction in my experience. Leaving it locked with a chain and a cheep padlock to your truck is enough.
That was my 1st thought. Determined thieves will come back. These things are usually stolen to order.
@@Ben4149 Exactly.
Thank you for taking your time for me! from Boston MA.
Any would be thief that wonders onto your property is in for a bad day.
Hey Cody, I’m an East coast guy and I appreciate you, your wisdom, and all that you share. Thanks.
I discovered you a few days ago and can't get enough . It's refreshing to see a man of faith that's normal . Dirt bikes , aftermarket truck parts , guns ect . Thank you !
I love it when you pre-troll the trolls.
Another tip is to make sure you don't give the thieves any equipment to use. For example, don't leave your angle grinder or plasma torch sitting next to the gun safe. Don't keep shovels etc in the bed of your truck. And I can't stress this enough, lock your doors. Don't make it easy for them.
Crime isnt on the rise as such. Decades of polluting our societies with low iq/high violence people is bearing fruit by those serving the SoS
Secure ur ladders too
Good one 🤣
How's a guy supposed to get any target practice in if you keep the doors locked.
@@anthonyaubuchon765 think of the door being forced as the beep of your shot timer
I’m an east coast guy and I think it’s hilarious. And we love you too. All in good fun. GB
As someone that lives in the south east, most people down here know it's hard to steal stuff when you're full of holes and lead shrapnel.
Had someone in my driveway last night just parked in a car. Got them on the IR scope and they heard the bolt get racked back. They promptly left.
A 65 yr old Texas man was just arrested for murder when he shot and killed a man sitting in a car on his driveway. The girlfriend of the deadman said he was probably lost and just stopped to look up directions. Be very careful about taking another persons life.
I wake up in the 3am-4am time frame most days. I pray to myself and go back to sleep.
Only 2 years ago I was told by my wife the same meaning you’ve discussed. For me it seems to happen more when I have something heavy on my mind.
A land anchor and chain over the axle can give any theift a surprise as the try to drive off
I cable lock 2 trailer wheels together. Not that noticeable & will make a racket + skid marks down the street!
Born and raised in South Florida guy here. I always have a chuckle at your East Coast guy comments. GBU
"I have a plasma torch. I have an angle grinder. I can get through anything".... For the new viewers here, those are reinforced by dual alternators. That's how it gets through everything!
As for the "East Coast Guys" thing, regionally, everyone has a group they pick on amicably; Texas has Okies, New York has New Jersey, Canada has Newfies, the Swiss have Belgians, and so on.
That's not true, we ALL pick on Jersey.
'Just Deal With it' - Preemptive strike on the hate! LOL. 'And for our east coast friends...go to the library' _ professional level troll. OMG!
My neighbor has one of those tire "boots" installed on his trailers that traffic cops use. Always seems like a more effective measure than trying to armor the ball hitch.
do both just to be sure
if the thief's prepared, they'll just buy an extra tire, or grab the spare off the trailer if it has one
@@Doggio_ the boots cover the lug nuts. You'd have to cut the axel to remove the tire...
@@snowbw Go Cardinals! Hope Wilson heals up…
Hi.
Hi I am in the U.K.
I have watched your videos since the the one when you shot the wolf/Cyote..
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad...
Have watched your two youngsters grow with great interest...
Keep on going life goes on...
Trevor.....
This is the lock that I put on my dump trailer as well. I also welded the bolts together and put a gps unit on it.
I’m definitely considering a GPS unit for my trailer
EAST COAST GEORGIA MAN HERE. I smile/laugh every time you make an EAST COAST BOYS joke. Lighten up folks, take a joke, and be secure in your manhood so you can take a joke!! Great video as always, Cody.
Grampaw hindsight says: You had the tools to take the hitch off the trailer. Just keep it in the shop under lock and key until you're going somewhere with the trailer. It's only two bolts, bolts the determined thief could take off if he had a spare hitch he was going to use, which he might go get if he sees that expensive lock contraption you got.
Thats what I was thinking, those bolts are only 3/4 or 1"? Somthing that big is going to need scouted out. For example, now everyone knows what adjustable drop ball attachment to get without doing any homework. Go buy the replacement part, get a couple wrenches, go find where the trailer is at and plan accordingly. Real simple, real quiet.
Hang in there and know we are praying for you!!!!
I was very saddened to hear of your father's passing. I too lost my father back in 1992 and still miss him after all these years. Watching you work in your shop reminds me of my dad teaching me to weld and use a cutting torch when I was 12 years old. My parents started their married life in a 2-room house that was given to them as a wedding gift. Over the years, my dad never hired anything done. Therefore, it seemed that I always had a tool belt around my waist as we made improvements to the home. My mom just celebrated her 83rd birthday and still lives in that same home to this day. I share these things just to let you know that there are many of us men who are carrying on the legacies that our father's left us. Another common thread that binds you and I is our strong faith in the Lord. Without Jesus Christ, I am nothing and I know you feel the same way. Even though I do not own a homestead, I still enjoy watching you create and improve yours. I will lift you up in my prayers and wish you and your family God's richest blessings. Keep sharing your UA-cam channel as it brings me and others a great deal of enjoyment (and I learn a lot of new things as well). God Bless!!!
I don't think we're neighbors, Rick, but I wish we were. God bless.
What a wonderful tribute. Peace, brother.
2:27 as an east coast man......these digs get me talking to my screen every time....
The idea is to not make it a buffet line, any deterrent, even an obvious one will hopefully make them steal an easier mark.
Been watching you for years. Great content learn a ton of valuable tips and hacks that are clear and easy to follow. The real reason I keep coming back to you is your devotion to God. You are not ashamed to state your faith share Gods word and you pray for all of us. Bravo to you for this. Blessings to you, your family , and all your subscribers.
This is kind of spooky to tell you the truth. I've been waking up at 3AM for no apparent reason for years now and it has driven me almost mad each time it's happened.
The next time I awaken at 3, I'll make it a point to start praying and see where the Lord leads.
Legend has it, our East Coast Friends are still looking for a multi-color playground ball being towed behind a Honda Element
As a atheist and recovering Catholic, I enjoy most of your content! Recovered East coast guy!
Atheists are more in number than Catholics.
Welcome!
East Coast guy here. Keep up the good work and keep on preaching brother.
“Get right with God.” If you lost viewers because of this statement; so be it. They’ll leave with that nugget in their minds. Whether the time is today or an infinite number of years from today, the message remains the same. We are called to witness, and you are doing just that. Go boldly forward! Onward!
As Christians, we are charged with testifying to others. It's something all of us should do more.
been watching your channel for 7 years now and the amount i’ve learned from you is immeasurable. thank you for all you do.
Your weakest link now is your bolts holding your hitch on simply weld the nuts to bolt
The bolts plus that is also a easy lock to pick :)
Out here in New York I really appreciate all the extra time you take to thoroughly explain all of these fancy west coast technologies 🤙 keep up the awesome content 🤙
Cody I am curious if you have seen an increase in horse ownership where you live. In our area the local Mennonites in the Angeles Camp (CA) have seen an increase in the number of English (non Mennonites) wanting small buggies. Horse and buggies on the roadways have increased. Owning a buggy that can be drawn by a horse, donkey, if you have land could be a wise choice if one lives within 10-15 miles of a town.
As a good east coaster. I love a good Westcoaster.
Waking at 2:30 ,and to be in a five minute window every time was a bit odd at first ... I used to sleep like a rock. Its nice to know I'm not alone,
I see locks as time buying devices. So that the amoung of time and level of noise the larva has to take and do is such that I give me time to notice and react. Its 2021, thieves have 60v battery tools..
I love your East Coast Burns and quips! It is some comic relief when your doing a simple task!! Keep it up!
I love the feeling of a successful modification. Just imagine, no locks needed in heaven.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that wakes up at 3am. I thought it was because I was old.
I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use chrome sockets with an impact wrench.
If the east coast guys loose their sense of humor, feel free to poke fun at Midwest, Cincinnati city dwellers.
should only use impact rated sockets on an impact gun , 6 sided preferably as the 12 sided ones can round off
you poke fun at us Midwest no-cost folks and it is like water on a ducks back. We hardly notice.
Regular chrome sockets aren't rated for the stress, you need impact rated sockets. They're the matte black sockets with thicker walls.
East Coast guy here. Love your videos and your candor!
If someone unsubscribed because they got offended of you “picking on them” … then you were right and good riddance
I noticed the last few years I've been waking up around 2:30 to 3:00 AM. Had no clue as to why thanks for clearing it up.
That 3am hour I've always heard as "The Witching Hour" for the same reasons you describe. In medieval times, Christians would pray at multiple times during the day (the Divine Office) including waking around 2-3am to do Matins (singing hymns, praying/reciting certain Psalms, etc). It's neat to hear that discussed on this channel. God bless!
Maryland guy here. Love the channel and everything about it. Jokes, Family, Hard work and Everything in-between.
I’m from West Virginia and I always got a kick out of the east coast guy comments… 🤣 Having said that, I must say that I have much more respect for the “Upper WestCoast” guys than the lower… Keep up the good work, we love your videos, and we pray for your continued success.
The east coast ball breaking is some humor I look forward to very much
I've been waking up at 3am almost every night for the last year. I did not know about this. I couldn't explain to my fiance why I couldn't just stay in bed and why I had to get up and do something.
Love these locks. I’m sure someone has posted this already but they now have a lock for that model trailer now.
God Bless you and your family!! Thank you!!!
I’m an East Coast guy. Your ribbing makes me laugh out loud sitting at my workbench in my garage. It’s how guys connect with other on the jobsite. It’s saying you like someone without being mushy or awkward. Makes work fun. I too, wake up at 3am. When I don’t spend time with Jesus every day, life gets hard. The Bible has become so fun to me. Thanks for sharing your life. I’ve enjoyed watching.
Cody here on the east coast the thieves are also carrying the portion of the trailer you removed with the impact and chrome socket. They unbolt that section let it hit the ground with the lock attached then bolt the one they brought with them to your trailer and hook up and away they go. I would suggest a couple of spot wields around the bolts so they can’t unbolt that section very easily.
I've had more and more dreams within the last few years, and my spirit feels the attack more often (awake) than any time in my life! PRAYER!!! WORKS!!! God bless you!!
Do ANYTHING to keep your family and home safe. ANYTHING!
I'm an East Coast Gal and I love your humor!
I was an east coast otr truck driver dealing with a fifth wheel but when I moved to Oklahoma was the first time using a traler hitch & a goose neck trailer
Cody, I am personally not a man of faith but I truly love the true and righteous nature it gives you. You are truly a man of resolve and high morals. I am glad you find such solace and foundation in religion. It is an amazing way of living life. With the extra cushion of faith and hope it provides. I may not be a believer myself but I can certainly respect one. I hope you and everyone else have a wonderful day.
East coast guy here,no offense taken sir :)
Lived on the east coast most of my life(except Army days)Met a few west coast guys,like you,most were good men.
May God bless you and yours :D
Peace
East Coast guy here. Not offended at all. But we do have better firewood!!
I'm an East Coast guy from PA. Love your videos including your humor. No offense taken here. I have learned much and appreciate how you humbly share your faith as well. I am fairly new to your channel. I hope you continue to share your videos and may your subscribers share your channel. God bless you and your family.
I live in Tennessee and I love your channel sorry for your loss. And we pick on west coast guys like you you pick on east coast it’s all out of love brother
East coast guy here and I for one love the jokes! Gotta have some fun during these times for sure
We Aussies have the Kiwis and Poms to pick on - it's all good humour.
I actually found and started watching this channel because at the end of a lockpicking lawyer video it showed a video of you trying out precisely this kind of lock.
I recently saw a video that explained how people used to sleep before the industrial revolution, and they described people sleeping in two stages, first sleep, second sleep where they woke up in the middle of the night for about 2 to 4 hours and then went back to bed.
Thank you Cody
-from the East coast
I'm an east coast guy and it actually cracks me up when you pick on the East Coast guys, keep dong your thing, God Bless
