Can understand how hard that was to share it would have been a bit of a scare, stay healthy you still got plenty years ahead of you bloody hard to eat healthy on the road these days what with the crap that roadhouses hand out not like the old days when you could get a good feed, depends on where your heading.

Yes that is true. When traveling long distances I normally take my own food to cook. That brings its own challenges. You are correct though. I will do a vid on that subject shortly.
@brettshields7292Ай бұрын
That sounds sort of familiar, so how many stents have you got now? I didn't have a heart attack but was very close to having one. And something I would like to add is, even if blood tests & ECG's don't show anything abnormal & you're still having pain, try to push for an Angiogram, I didn't but the treating Dr at the local hospital got concerned from previous experience to send me to Adelaide and get it checked out, that's when the problem/s where found!

I searched a while ago and chose the Ulanzi YV003 AM18 all-in-one Wireless Lavalier Microphone. I have found it to be awesome. I have destroyed one lead but that was my own fault dropping it. It’s an awesome small unit and wireless. Makes it easier to work. I will admit my next video I’ll be posting soon will show the affects on the broken lead. I bought these myself and they are not sponsored in any way.

The reason being the trailers do not have the piping from the air ram on the tailgate to the front of the trailer. The only trailer we have that does is the lead trailer on the old stag.

What i do to help get the ring feder to drop is when you turn the air on is put a small jimmy bar or flat ended lever under the eye & lift it up while pushing down on handle that usually gets it to drop also helps to unhook when ring feder won't release

@spanners948 ай бұрын
Chassis tippers are pretty stable but like any tipper level ground helps. I've operated tip-over-axle trailer tippers that when you released the tailgate the airbags on the trailer would deflate which allowed a very stable tip.
