Hey Sergei. Just a friendly suggestion. To help with the coupling of the hoses. When uncoupling. Shut off the engine then turn the key on and activate the switch then uncouple. This will bleed off the residual pressure in the lines for when you hook up. Good luck. Love your videos. From the west coast British Columbia.

[@vttrucker]

When you unhook the hoses from trailer hydraulics hook them to each other then pressure won't build in the system. Plus it keeps the connectors clean.

[@ryanconrad1516]

Captain Sergei have someone lift the jeep with two endless loop slings, one wrapped around each of the frames and find where the slings need to be so that the load hangs balanced, once you find that balance point you’ve just found where to put your D rings. Hopefully this isn’t too late and you can get them mounted so it is balanced! Nice addition to your fleet, can’t wait to see it in action all hooked up!

[@MySledgeHammer]

“YES & ROCK AND ROLL” Sergei back on the road again with your Truck Attitude and your Trailer Magnitude....May all your hauls be safe ones. You Rock Captain Sergei Thanks

[@vaalrus]

That pressure on the hydraulic hose problem is why all of my gear has the flat-face style couplers that also have an internal by-pass, so they will always couple up under pressure.

[@scottwheeler2494]

Can't wait to see it all hooked up and ready for a load. That will be interesting.

[@michaelwuest9944]

Dream rig...Happy Birthday! Can't wait to see it all coupled and on the ground!

[@johngrabowski2957]

Has been fun watching your operation grow!! I hope you are proud, you’ve worked very hard sir!!!Congratulations!!!

[@dustinlowry9075]

Love the new setup Captain

[@farmall450diesel]

I'm thinking that while your jeep and stinger are loaded on your trailer you may want to take some paint and mark their location on the trailer deck. This will make reloading easier seeing how tight they fit. Eric

[@HHTV60]

the current position of the jeep and stinger are not perfect. i'll need to change them. hold on to your paint.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Captain Sergei. Rig looks great. Hope you do a video of assembly when you get to the load.

[@davidschabel4664]

Very nice captain can't wait to see it loaded I had a box for the pin lock pull toy here

[@papailaysa]

Very nice toys Serguei! That’s real ‘heavy metal’ , btw, ever thought of welding a old kingpin to the chassis to store the kingpin lock? Nice and safe travels!

[@snakerancher]

Can't wait to see the first load on the new setup.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Serguei !!! COOOL BEANS as LOOKS GREAT !!! Have fun learning what you can do with this setup for sure !! """KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!

[@MegaEaglelover]

Looks great Capt, now see the new toys at work... so very Kewl to this 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼

[@8300rpmallday]

King pin lock tip: wrap in bag and apply to king pin like a condom, throw bag alway and king lock stays clean

[@neilthomas4407]

5th wheel looks a bit dry Captain S.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Congratulations captain👍👍👍

[@robertcirincione6099]

They have the rubber caps Captain for the hydraulic couplers. You can keep them soaked with PB and then put caps on.

[@thistruckerslife]

I put the kingpin lock in a cut in half washer fluid jug. Keeps it clean

[@seanbrown5131]

Nice setup.

[@lomparti]

Crazy setup. By the way, I just got hired by contrans bulk division running regional loads! Tri-axle end-dump trailers and volvo tractors!

[@patodwyer721]

Nice outfit Sergei, too bad they didn't fit D-rings when manufacturing. Be nice to see it all connected up with a decent load on the deck. Best of luck👍

[@DJ2CM]

Hi Serguei get the rubber cover's for your hyd ends clean will save the o-rings .Cool new trailer additions also I guess we won't see you in BC in the winter . doesn't look like you have tire chains or room to run then with those Fender's. Drive safe Sir. 🇨🇦 Craig. Oh also if the ball end of the hyd end is stuck or pressured hit on the truck frame it will release. 👍 Oh I have a question 🤔 can you take any of those Peace's off by yourself or only with crane or forklift ??

[@davidanddiana7173]

Very cool movie 🍿 Sergei 👍🍿

[@greg1833]

They make a wing nut hydraulic hose connector that doesn’t lock up. It’s a lot easier to connect but they’re expensive.

[@robkal56]

Sergei, it wouldn't cost much to have expanded metal installed over the area in front of the fifth wheel. The shop that did your D-ring welding can easily do that. You will be glad you did

[@chuckychuck]

That broker must watch your channel Mr. Captain Sergei, That was very nice of him to help you out with your new toys. You tube pays off, and help promote your business.

[@smokeGR14]

I wanna see it all hooked together...what's your over all length going to be ?

[@janethouck9763]

Kens bolt on hooks .com has a tool to release the pressure on the hyd hose. Also on U tube

[@jeffreid3341]

If you are having trouble hooking up your hydraulic lines you should look into flat face couplers. They make things easier

[@buffranchAB]

Heckuva rig now !!!

[@ontariobushcraft536]

I think if you jiggle the actuators before you disconnect the hydraulic hoses it won't leave pressure inside the hoses to where they are a pain to put in next time. Works on smaller stuff. Can't see why it isn't the same in all applications

[@johnathanalford5866]

Yes your king pin comes out just take it with u and its hard for them to steal your trailer

[@coppydoubleloppkliem4146]

I would purchase a extra air bag for the stinger so you'll have a spare.

[@vaughnhill3437]

Dang captain. It will take a day and a half to hook all that equipment up

[@MrGomer1970]

When engaging the PTO push the clutch in and put in gear then engage the PTO and place transmission in neutral and let out the clutch a d that will stop the grinding

[@HHTV60]

When drinking beer from a can, flip the can open, lift the can to your lips, and while the light is still red slowly raise the bottom of the can up to approximately 45% angle. This will prevent excessive gurgling and reduce the chance of beer getting into the lungs.

[@SuperTrailmix]

Clean your king pin lock and then next time you use it put a bag on it when you put it on the trailer stays cleaner that way

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Party hearty and when you drink beer make it an Equis.

[@bobsyouruncle1574]

Best way to defeat one of those kingpin locks is to back into it with a truck. Cracks them right in half. So not the most effective safety measure at the end of the day.

[@heyinway]

Yep, those locks make a good marker laying on the ground to indicate where the trailer was. The locking pin is tapered to a very small diameter. They can be broken off by hand if you have a good grip or even a small flat prybar. Best is to get a GPS tracker setup and make sure VIN numbers are marked in out of the way places and not just on a plate stuck to the unit.

[@brent4991ify]

You should turn your Jeep around it would fit better on the deck

[@HHTV60]

yeah, i'll do it tomorrow morning,. wanna give me a hand? two people should be able to move a 7800 LB, no problem...

[@calvinjutila8270]

Would a piece of expanded metal welded between the frame rails help the access? BTW Isn't that clutch under warranty?

[@heyinway]

Piece of plywood and 2 tarp straps would save a broken leg. Cover has to be easily removeable when 5th is slid and easy to store...could nail to deck.

[@calvinjutila8270]

@@heyinway I was thinking of welding the expanded metal to the bottom side of the top rail flanges. Hopefully that would clear the fifth wheel sliding.

[@heyinway]

@@calvinjutila8270 That would work also, all the sliding action is on top. Just weld steel catwalk to the underneath of the slider rail...not to the horizontal part of the truck frame.

[@russellking9762]

@@heyinway couldn't you weld a couple of hinges there holding an aluminum checker plate so you could flip it up when you not using it and then down again when you do?

[@rasklopac]

Is it possible to back the jeep up on the trailer after delivery? Like, reverse it on the trailer?

[@pete5044]

rasklopac Then how will he hook the prime mover back to his trailer? I thought the same. De-tatch trailers are a stupid design, should be like Australia and have ramps at the back.

[@robertallred2368]

@@pete5044 he would have to disconnect the gooseneck, hook up to the beep, and then, yes he can back it on ( first), then have them place the stinger on.

[@rasklopac]

Ok, so, it's not possible to put the gooseneck down on the ground separately? I see the issue now...

[@robertallred2368]

Yeah I think it Was an Aspen trailer, that could back the jeep onto the trailer.

[@rickjohnson1632]

Try keeping those hose fitting soaked with pb blaster . It might help , I’m just saying....

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

,,, I don't like PB on anything with rubber seals or o rings, just silicone or WD .

[@kristoffMR]

Fluid film,amsoil metal protector,wd40,or similar lube spray.PB blaster is for breaking nuts and bolts lose ,therefore its corrosive and not really suitable for applications where you want to preserve metal from rusting

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

@@kristoffMR ,,, agree, I am about 70 percent convinced PB eats rubber and or neoprene. .

[@bushmaster2936]

The issue is residual hydraulic pressure in the lines. It comes from disconnecting the lines while they are still under pressure. Turn off PTO, operate all valves to neutralize the pressure, disconnect the hoses. Should reconnect with ease each time providing that you haven't damaged them by beating on them or deforming the nipples.

[@DLSWV]

👍😉

[@MS-hz8yi]

My Peterbilt with a 455 paccar would die pulling all that empty :)

[@marcmartin3247]

why don't you put your D ring on a plate so it is even with the top part of the beam. that way you won't have to put rubber between the chain and the beam. and perhaps a little lube on you hose connections might make them going in a little better.

[@heyinway]

The reason the couplers are difficult...there is hydraulic pressure at the coupler. There are couplers made that internally bleed off pressure. Also stainless steel couplers that road salt won't destroy so fast.

[@heaveninhell6904]

Sergei can tell us the size of your tire in your lowboy please , is that 315/22.5 ?

Your king pin doesn't just pull up and out i take my king pin with me when i drop trailer

the kingpin on the standard 101" neck has no locks -- i can pull it out as long as i'm unhooked from the trailer. The extension neck has the king pin WELDED in.

[@coppydoubleloppkliem4146]

I alway get the screw in hydraulic quick connect coupler. You dont have to worry about beating it on or if it's all thw way in.

[@rickbartram7114]

You need to put truck in gear to put PTO in and you will never grind when PTO engages. I'm sure you know this.

[@normpearii]

The grind was from his broken clutch brake (Last video)

[@kristoffMR]

Absolutly correct,however 99% of operators dont know that,or dont give a fuck cos its not their equipment

[@jeffdrier4460]

Maybe now you can actually go haul some loads, make some money, purchase that truck and trailer.... maybe but more than 60k miles
