@shawnasage8499 oh boy, it's been a long time since I bought that stuff. I would estimate around $200-$250 for supplies depending on the size of the area. That would be 1/2" plywood, some 2x4's paint, the underpinning material some hardware and a little insulation. As for tools, you'll need a circular saw for sure and a drill/screw driver of some sort. I'm sure I used my sawzall and my tablesaw also. It's hard to answer it all in a comment, but that should be a good start. Hope that helps!

Thanks! and thanks for watching!

I think it has more to do with laziness, but yeah, either way lol

Hey Peter! I've already got a couple lined up and there will be more to follow that! I'll do my best to get them out soon! Thanks for watching!!

I've heard of doing that, just never got around to trying it, I should do that. Thanks for watching!

Hope it helped! Since I didn't want to use treated lumber, I painted them to help protect them from moisture if it gets in there. Thanks for watching!

I don't mind at all, as a matter of fact I'm honored. Thanks!

Oh, cool car. Its amazing how much some bushings can improve the feel of a door! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Good luck with it! As long as the bushings are still there and it didn't wear in to the hinges you should be fine. Thanks for watching!

@sandyginn860 it's hard to know without seeing it, I would want to find out why it shifted. Is the floor rotten around the frame, but the center is fine? Bracing is fine, but there is obviously something wrong with the structure of the floor that caused it to sink. If the floor was good before being moved, it is compromised now because of the weight or something. Sorry that happened, wish I could help more!

@@assemblyrequired1 thanx. Not rotted. It just shifted with a fully loaded rv....but that did help. I'm getting under it today to look. Thank u sooo much

@@sandyginn860 feel free to email me some pictures, no guarantee I can help, but I'll give it a shot! My email is on my channel page

Thank you! And thanks for watching!!

Yes, very! Every ounce of food the dogs have eaten have been out of that feeder with no modifications! And they are much bigger now! Thanks for the comment

@silasferreira9647 you bet! I'm glad you enjoyed it. My truck it a 2007 2500 HD Classic with 6.0L gas and 5 speed. it has about 160,000 miles on it and I've not really had any issues with it. I've replaced a couple normal parts, transfer case seal, u-joints etc. It does need an AC compressor clutch now. The most I've hauled with it is probably around 10,000 lbs including the trailer.

@@assemblyrequired1 thanks bro my diesel one drinks a lot 13.8 mpg on freeway and 11 mpg on city what about yours ?

Glad the video helped! My set up has worked well and I've hauled quite a bit with it. Good luck with your project, you'll be glad to did it!!

Not all, the heavier trailers, specifically older ones had plywood floors.

@@assemblyrequired1 correct, the non lite models.......

Yep! Seems to have taken care of it. I've run it for several hours now and no more puddles under it in storage

@@assemblyrequired1 awesome man thx!

Hey @SunDeveledEgger, it worked out great!......for a while. Fencer was great, the remote feature was awesome and we were holding 7-8k volts even when the vegetation was up on the fence. Unfortunately a few months ago something killed the fence charger, I'm assuming lightning. I came out and the GFCI breaker that it was plugged in to was popped, tried resetting and it immediately tripped again. Plugged the fencer into a standard outlet and it was dead. The fencer does have a 3 year warranty so I need to get it sent in to be looked at and I'm sure they will take care of it. Possibility that not being able to get all of the grounds in for the lightning arrester came back to bit me. For now I have a gallagher 16 joule that is doing ok, but you can tell that its not as powerful. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! It's done well so far. Good luck with your project, thanks for watching!

I just went to my local hardware store. They had everything. If I remember correctly it was about 6 carriage bolts and a couple grade 8 bolts. Thanks for watching!

I think I mentioned it in the video, but then again maybe I didn't. I tried that, but there wasn't enough clearance between the alternator bracket and the radiator/fan shroud to put the bolt in from that direction. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Great! glad it helped! Thanks for watching

The issue I was referring to is something called Galvanic Corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is when two metals are in "electrical" contact and it causes one of the metals to corrode faster than the other. That is a very simplified definition. Treated lumber is treated with chemicals that contain copper and chromium, these metals can cause this corrosion. This is why there are screws and nails that are specifically designed for use on treated lumber. They are generally galvanized or coated with something that will "electrically insulate" the fastener from the chemicals in the wood. My concern wasn't the fasteners so much as it is the frame of the camper. The corrosion doesn't always happen, but when it does its pretty damaging. Hope that was a long winded enough answer! Thanks for watching!

Great! Hope it helps! I'm glad I did it. Haven't had an ounce of trouble from it since!

Yep, haven't had a video out for a month or so

Thank You! and Thanks for watching!

Great! Hope it helped! Thanks for watching!

@@assemblyrequired1I might just replace the gasket on the top cover since that is where mine is leaking. Is it only held on by two bolts on the top? I’m thinking I could do that and not take the injection pump off my backhoe.

Yes, just the two bolts and then two springs inside. Take note of which hole in the levers that the springs attach! Only problem I could see with your plan is having to work around the loader, but that's a problem no matter what you do!

@@assemblyrequired1 Thanks! That’s a huge help. I was taking a look and think I can get in there. I’ll keep you posted.

Why is that?

Why do you think that is?

It has! We have had the occasional kid get in, but they've never been there looking for food just playing around and found the opening. I try not to spill any dog food and pick it up when I do, try not to give the goats an opportunity to get a taste for the dog food. Thanks for watching and commenting!

It does have some early mustang drivetrain parts, but it technically not a Ford. Go check out the video on my channel!

Thanks for watching!

Squire SS100 actually. Check out the videos on my channel!

Yes sir it is! Are you familiar with them? We did a whole series on getting this one back on the road on my channel @assemblyrequired1

Thanks!

Hey @gravymaster4740 check out the full video at czcams.com/video/HacT_Q6FgME/video.htmlsi=TuNuQlqNULR7ttKZ I have a playlist on my channel of 4 or 5 videos all about getting it back on the road! If there is anything else you want to know, drop a comment!

It is! My tach never worked the best, but it does move the correct direction. Thanks for watching!

Great! Thanks for watching!

More or less, yep! Thanks for watching! Hope it helped you out!

Glad to hear it! There are a million ways to break a bead on a tire, and the most important thing about it is that it get broken however its easiest for you! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I enjoy reading these!

Thanks! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah, some of the repairs for that style of floor could be tricky. Maybe run some supports between the frame rails that would support the floor from the bottom side? Good luck and thanks for watching!

I don't think any kind of spacer is necessary. I never checked to see if a spacer came in the kit new, but I cranked that big bolt pretty tight and there has never been any hint of movement of the hitch or anything. If the bolt is clamping properly I would think it shouldn't need to rely on the edges of the hole to stop it. I'm having no issues with it at all. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Zero, that's the major reason I suspected the sending unit at first. I'm glad I stopped and checked things out before I drove it.

@seankessens5148 Haha! thanks! I'd say its as much, if not more, technique than strength, but I'll take it. Tell that big green bastard I said bring it!

I wouldn't have another charger without it. The remote stays in the mule so I can drive around to check fence and listen for it popping. Shut the fence off with the remote without having to go back to the barn, fix it, turn it back on and move on. HUGE time and headache saver! Besides, even if it doesn't work, what's going to happen? I get shocked, yeah I'll get mad for a couple minutes but that's it. My father-in-law was actually who told me about them, and he's 61! Thanks for watching and for the comment!!

Definitely not bad information. There is nothing magic about the pipe systems that can be purchased. The premade pipe that I was talking about is literally two pipes wrapped in bubble insulation, all inside the exact same black corrugated tubing. As for water.... sure its possible that water could get in to the black pipe, although not likely, and if it does, the insulation that I used is not susceptible to soaking up water. It is polyethylene (plastic) foam. As for the insulation freezing, assuming that the insulation integrity is compromised by water, wouldn't there be so much heat escaping the 150 degree pex pipe that it would warm the insulation (heat escaping) and prevent the insulation from freezing? I'm a couple years in now, and am very pleased with how the plumbing is functioning. The temperature of the water when entering the house is virtually identical to the temperature exiting the wood boiler as closely as I can read on my gauges. If you're comparing what I put together to the system with pex encased in foam filling the entire jacket of the larger pipe? Yes, it holds heat better and is a better product, but in my scenario and in most people's scenario's, the benefits do not justify the additional cost. You're right, my home made piping system is not the same as a pre made system, I'd say its better! Thanks for watching and commenting! However I respectfully disagree with most of what you said.
