Drill bits for hard metal are called Cobalt Drill Bit. Milwaukee makes them amongst other brands. They are a few dollars per piece, but they are worth the cost
I think if you use your trailer with minimum on-off coupling, but with constant trailer changes that wears out or gets greasy. The grease from trailers, just a thought. But looks good anyway 👍
I’m very sad Martin didn’t bury his drill bit in the back yard 🥲😡show a little respect around here 🫡😡😂😎Rickster. Had the old black ones that fit on the trailer with a round clip that fit on the kingpin but that was just pulling my same trailer 90% of the time or more 👍😎Rickster Keep on Trucking you two
Martin nice job as always. My condolences.... One thing I learned never to skimp on is drill bits and any cutting blades. Not saying you did. Harbor freight forget about it!
Hi Martin, get one of them magnets drill press, put your on drill on it, I got an old style drill motor that turns really slow, I use it for drilling frame rail and such
I've used a Teflon plate on my 5th wheel RV trailer for the last 20 years. It works Great! Martin this is a very good installation for your truck. You two have a wonderful day!!
I just put one on Saturday. I think mine is a 100061 I’m sure. . Made my first trip Monday. I pull the same stepdeck. All I do now is take some disposable gloves. Put some grease in them. Put it on trailer kingpin. I think it’s going to be alright. A buddy brought over his magnetic drill. The little steel plates. Used a regular drill. Yours looks exactly like mine. Good luck to both of us. Five year warranty they say.
U know it good to see y’all home y’all deserve it people need to do their own homes don’t worry ab you and Martin I do believe y’all are all grow up that people got their noise in other people stuff have a beautiful day can’t wait to see y’all again
May Martins’s drill bit rest in peace. 🛐 Anyways, I always hated those teflon plates because every time you dropped the trailer they would fall off. This looks like a great idea if they last long enough. Happy trails you guys.
Hi Martin and Alice. Great to see you guys back and about and for you Alice a little bounce back in the Voice in anticipation of the futre. God i am so happy you guys have stated to us ehte Fith wheen covers. Man they are the best we have hed them here is Aus for many years know and the arms are always a lot cleaner. The one thing i did notice was the lack of at times what i used to call directional sterring from the grease type as they are the same all the time dust rain or simply dry grease. Smart move and even better if as you guys i hope are doing pulling the same trailers all the time. We have a group of 6 of us as we all take great care and clean as well. Then well here comes a dam subby gease every where so back in time we go. I use degreaser on the trailers and saturate that and llet almost dry then good old fashioned paper towel in an bag then back to clean again. Love to hear from you guys as to what you think as we run triple trailers over here and theer is no doubt in our minds the amount of sway we used to get by sticky wheels or dry grease was amazing. Keep trucking you two and send a report asap when you use them . Good luck from Aussie Bob.
Caution I managed a fleet of 50+ trucks and we had these plates put on all of them. We had to end up removing them because the pin depth caused hooking up problems at times. We could not risk the liability of a trailer unhooking because of the plates
I'm anxious to see how that works out for you. I was going to put one on my truck but I drop trailers everyday and the trailers I get pulled by everyone with a greasy 5th wheel. Was told before that you shouldn't get a lot of grease on those but IDK
Me, I have never had a problem drilling the back end. Yes I did notice that wee smile on Alice’s face. Boy that some kind of 😢tiny bit there Martin. Yup fith wheel grease just keeps those rear ends and frame and anything near that fith wheel greasy and dirty because all the dirt sticks to the grease. Anything past the cab requires you to wear gloves when fiddling with anything back there. I do miss it all though. As you know once a drop of diesel flows in your viens it’s all done and only thing left is fill out the log book. Love your videos guys. As you said soon the vacation will be over and bling time will be in the past and you guys will be pounding the boulevard once again. You guys have had a great time away from running the biways and hiways of America. It’s going to feel good to get back at it and have that old Bulldog piss on your windshield in the early morning hours. Guys, have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, what’s that song, On The Road Again..
Only problem with the slick plates when you do drop and hook freight is people grease the snot out of their trailers and it coats your plates. I’m on my 2nd one because of it
Only bad thing about slick plate is if someone else has to hook up to your trailer or if a location that you drop your trailer then they don’t use it gets grease all over it then it’s a mess
The company I drive for just switched from I pass to Best pass. I pass works a lot of places but not in Kansas. I wish there was a list of places it does work. Keep the videos coming.
Hi ! ya ! Teflon plate, i tried that a long time ago ! it didn t work for too long. because i was pulling different trailers all the time . If you haul your own trailers it s ok but hauling different trailers all the time, it don t take long you have grease on it ! So, clean your trailer off grease and see how long it ll last ! Make sure your screws don t stick out ! tight em after a trip ! Well , have a nice day, see ya later ! 🤠
@@TruckingTogether Hi ! thanks for the reply ! Yes of course it s good for you guys ! I did the mistake because of my ignorance and hope nobody hauling multiple trailers do the same mistake ! and i saw the improvement on your new plate ! the 2 bars ! it protects the plate from tearing up ! ! Good Grease is expensive ! Glad you did this ! 😎
I never lay anything on my trunk lid on my fortieth anniversary mustang.Thats Mustang abuse. I'm joking. Your silver Mustang would look good with ghost flames. 👍 from Detroit , Mich.
Ok, so what do you do when hooking up to company trailers that other drivers jerked off on? That plate is meant for a dedicated trailer. You make no sense!
Drill bits for hard metal are called Cobalt Drill Bit. Milwaukee makes them amongst other brands. They are a few dollars per piece, but they are worth the cost
I love when Martin plays along with the bit
The Minimizer Company is only20 miles from where I live. Lots of great products. Just off I35 in Owatonna Minnesota.
Those Teflon plates were around over 30 years ago. One of the issues was sometimes it made the kingpin too short.
I think if you use your trailer with minimum on-off coupling, but with constant trailer changes that wears out or gets greasy. The grease from trailers, just a thought. But looks good anyway 👍
I need that slick plate on my dinner plate.slide my food right into my mouth!
I’m very sad Martin didn’t bury his drill bit in the back yard 🥲😡show a little respect around here 🫡😡😂😎Rickster. Had the old black ones that fit on the trailer with a round clip that fit on the kingpin but that was just pulling my same trailer 90% of the time or more 👍😎Rickster Keep on Trucking you two
My condolences to martin. I know how attached he is with his tools.
Martin nice job as always. My condolences.... One thing I learned never to skimp on is drill bits and any cutting blades. Not saying you did. Harbor freight forget about it!
Good to see you again, really appreciate your videos. Missed them

Hi Martin, get one of them magnets drill press, put your on drill on it, I got an old style drill motor that turns really slow, I use it for drilling frame rail and such

Big up to beautiful Alice and Martin your ok .Shes definitely a keeper 🇺🇸💪🇬🇧😂Friendships are everything.Big up to the pretty lady and Martins a tart 🤷
I have one on my truck and it works great .
that is a sad day those step bits are awsome
Hello 👋 Hey HI and Howdy Y'all.. 😂lol that's totally awesome yeah I remember the problems y'all had when buying that truck absolutely awesome
Caution
I managed a fleet of 50+ trucks and we had these plates put on all of them. We had to end up removing them because the pin depth caused hooking up problems at times. We could not risk the liability of a trailer unhooking because of the plates
whole idea is to not grease fifth wheel does not matter if you get grease from trailer on it, the point is not having to grease your fifth wheel
I’m so happy
I'm anxious to see how that works out for you. I was going to put one on my truck but I drop trailers everyday and the trailers I get pulled by everyone with a greasy 5th wheel. Was told before that you shouldn't get a lot of grease on those but IDK
Even the no grease Teflon coated plates still need some grease so you might end up putting a little.
It will be interesting to see if this holds up in cold temps.
Hope ya all are doing well

ya sometimes I think I’m funny but Martin completely missed that one 😂 -A
@@TruckingTogether Miss Alice I don’t miss a thing.
It takes time to set up contracts and operating authority, insurance, etc .
Sorry on drill bit my friend 😮
F in chat for Martin's best bits
🤣
My son has a Toyota prerunner and he has tags on his that say
the sh#t box edition 😆
Only problem with the slick plates when you do drop and hook freight is people grease the snot out of their trailers and it coats your plates. I’m on my 2nd one because of it
Some yes. At ceva those trailers were dry as a bone though.
what happens if you hook up to a trailer with a greasy hitch, will it gum up the new plate?
Did he break the bits drilling or head butting them like he did the drive shaft 😅
Only bad thing about slick plate is if someone else has to hook up to your trailer or if a location that you drop your trailer then they don’t use it gets grease all over it then it’s a mess
Yep..... that's the sucky part
Slick plates are DEFINITELY AWESOME
i think the lesbo coat skeerd the grease off.lol
What about the grease from the trailer or do you pull a dedicated trailer
You can easily clean the grease off.
Will the sun cause degradation of the Teflon covering ?
5th wheel grease is the pits. Gets on everytjhing and hard to get off of clothes
R I P drill bit
With all this work on Tiny and High Maintenance, I fear for Fancy being sent out to pasture?
Only thing with the 5th plate is swapping trailers regularly is gonna get it greasy unless y'all buy a trailer that never comes off the 5th
The company I drive for just switched from I pass to Best pass. I pass works a lot of places but not in Kansas. I wish there was a list of places it does work. Keep the videos coming.
Glad y’all can afford to take this time work on your trucks, house and family.
Chrome didn't get you home , chrome kept you at home 😆 people lose their minds when they see you not struggling like they are 😂
When are you guys going to drive again
we drive daily
It looks like a good idea. I hope it will last. Be safe my friend's. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lil guy spun its last turn….
Oh no martin broke your stepbit
RIP Little Bit. :P

Lol love the ending y'all take care be safe
Just makes good sense and time out of your day. Let me know when you find one I’d like one myself.
Alice, is your truck still the truck with no name?

Why didn’t you have a broken drill bit give away… lol

Poor drill bit...
Hello 👋HELLO HELLO HELLO 👋 HELLO 👋 WHERE ARE YOU GUYS 🥲
Ok, so what do you do when hooking up to company trailers that other drivers jerked off on? That plate is meant for a dedicated trailer. You make no sense!
You can still hook company trailers with it. That people use grease on, you make no sense.
What’s going on with the trucking,you guys taking a break from trucking or trying to find loads
