Dirt Perfect Broke the New To Him Lowboy Trailer - A Day in the Life of a Part Time Driver

[@wildroots4622]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN KLEEMAN! I’m so proud of you. A wonderful husband, understanding father, and hardworking man. The girls and I are so blessed to call you ours. Have fun working on that boat in the woods today😂

[@kopenhagenkid]

Happy Birthday Captain Kleeman have a great day with your family

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike and Mr Dirt Perfect

[@ronaldheit196]

Sell the Suburu while it has some value. Run the truck till it's a pile of rust and broken parts ready for the scrap yard. It's way more useful on a homestead than the Suburu will ever be. Especially come winter. A friend of mine had over 500 hundred thousand miles on his Ford truck before he finally sold it off for parts. He rebuilt the engine and tranny twice. The rear end 3 times. A few other repairs to the frame but he darn sure got his money's worth out of it. Almost cried when he finally gave in and bought a new truck. He finally went diesel on that one.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

You and your family have a happy Thanksgiving. God bless

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you Thomas!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job getting the pin out guys

[@iancoleman6659]

Destruction, Fire, will it fit, lost treasures! This one had it all!

[@gatzevandermeer224]

Mike can only praise that he has you on board. A one man show. That’s why we don’t see you as much on his channel you’re running your own projects.

[@bigfred1696]

I have a 99 gmc short bed, extended cab, 4x4 painted the same color as yours... I ordered it to match my fathers 1967 peterbilt...It was black and gold. I thought the gold may be a little much, so I got the pewter. I have only seen 2 painted the same colors. I still have it, and it has 130k miles. It also has the charcoal leather... Enjoy your videos

[@rons3103]

Mike, I'm now going to have to wait for Dirt Perfect to post his video in a few months so that we can see how he can pin the blame on TMBTS and you for the Lowboy Trailer! 🤣🤣🤣. Of course, you have the video this time! Excellent run and amazing challenge to get both items on that small trailer.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello Captain. there is a simple fix for the neck brace from the trailer . just place an air valve in the brake air line on the goose neck between the truck and the trailer . if the neck brace is not or not fully raised, no air will come through from the truck to release the brakes, so you can not leave. as soon as the neck brace is all the way up in the right position, the air flows to the trailer and you can drive off normally. Captain Kleeman proef 😂😂 thanks for the video Captain Kleeman👍

[@karenellingson4176]

Love the MAC puppy dog on the front. My dad drove a MAC truck when we were little. Our excitement when he pulled into the driveway was uncontrollable. The Big Mac!! we yelled and could not wait for him to park so we could get all up in its big green business!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

That’s awesome!

[@PatrickBaldwin1]

I am 100% on board with the 3 car family. We drive cars for a long long time. Not having to worry if something is broken down about being able to get somewhere is great peace of mind. It also allows us to help out other people if they need something to borrow.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Exactly!

[@matta3888]

You do not have to worry about your tools being stolen. A camper shell to hold in loads that could blow out.

[@lhr1701]

Happy Thanks Giving to you and the family !

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you Larry!

[@CMDSR]

Happy Thanksgiving to the Kleemans. I knew the pin was hot from the smoke coming off the glove. And a very Happy Birthday Captain. Congratulations on the new car

[@BlueDually4x4]

Pretty action packed video, I can almost smell that 5th wheel grease burning. Also getting everything in one trip was pretty smooth.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely a unique smell!

[@frank4532]

Thanks for sharing Mike 👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching frank!

[@annasproule6138]

What a full day! Always glad for Thanksgiving. Lots to give thanks for!!! Stay well!

Thank you!

[@genegoodman5233]

I like the description of the work done to the shorter trailer and add dump bed. Good video Captain stay safe

[@gandjboyd7872]

I'm just glad the fire dept is on site😄 for the repair

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂

[@johnmcclelland5265]

A very happy Thanksgiving day to you and all your family. Your videos have given me a lot of pleasure. Thanks.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey thanks for watching!!!

[@warrenmichael918]

The biggest lesson i got from this video was when Mike actually admitted that MBTS taught him something!! LOL I hope Aaron heard that and reminds him when he is back around...

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂 good point

[@dansevern3291]

Whuh? Wednesday? Startled me, almost spilled a cup of coffee! Nice thought, posting on the day before Thanksgiving, and wishing a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching Dan!

[@DocNo27]

Love the sound of Mack trucks!

[@markrobert5279]

I did this one time with my lowboy. Tore the fender off my drive tires but didn't tear up the support rod thankfully. After you do this once you learn that the first thing you do when you start pulling levers is to raise the support arm first because if you don't there is a good chance you will forget to raise it after you get the trailer raised up. Have a good Thanksgiving

[@CaptainKleeman]

You as well!

[@doughadley9448]

Mike and Mike, been there done that except i never hurt the leg but I have wadded up the fenders on the Truck, as for the air hoses, I carried a pipe easy out kit because the 1st time I did it I had to get help to fix it, my thought is, any thing you can fix yourself isn't near as bad Great job on getting every thing on plan B!!

[@kenthammarstrom8255]

no one got badly hurt, exept some pride mabe. the trailer can be repaired and you did a good job geting all that stuff in one trip.👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@terryrogers1025]

Ouch, I gotta ram in my eye!!!😜🤣 I have been in that situation more times than I care to think about, rusted in, bent pins are a bear to deal with, at least you didn’t have to be in 3” of mud to crawl around in, and boy does old grease burn when it gets started. And yes, nice torch work!😏

[@CaptainKleeman]

Yeah! Had a nice concrete pad. Can’t beat it!

[@timothydurm4366]

I'm with you there, Captain. It's like a blow to the ego when someone says it can't be done. You just have to show them it can.

[@CaptainKleeman]

That's right!

[@tbirdracefan]

Putting that power rake in the back of the dump truck reminded me of the two times my neighbor put a weed whacker in his loader bucket to carry it back to the house, only to remember it the next time he dumped a bucket of dirt.

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂😂

[@sammosher1812]

NYA's got the ends of that pin pretty well mushroomed before the Captain get's in there! lol

[@randycook4364]

Dang dud, do you have any idea how totally cool you are. Love your attitude. Stuff happens and we fix it.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate the feedback!

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

"Homeowner says 'there's no way you can get both of those on there' so now I don''t have a choice" You remind me of me :)

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂😂

[@dfusit]

Improvise, adapt and overcome the hallmarks of any successful endeavor.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Agree!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yup that happened to me a few weeks ago the guy moving my equipment went to turn through intersection and she wouldn't turn then snap!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

That’s the sign, if the truck won’t turn, it’s about to get worse 😂

[@dansevern3291]

And I have to add, "Fire, explosions (well, kinda), danger, drama, comedic moments!" Like a Hollywood epic! Nice job.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you sir!

[@daveh.354]

A little karma, a grease fire, some impressive trailer tetris, this here is a top shelf video. Well done. Happy Thanksgiving!

Put an 12v alarm switch on so when it's down you will hear the alarm! Maybe an 12v air horn for the old man to hear it next time. Lol.

[@jimmycurran5355]

Enjoyed the video Mike. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you sir!

[@LLImprovement]

Mistakes happen, this would be a perfect time to make a check list on painters tape on the side of the trailer right by the hydraulic control levers until everyone gets accustomed to the new operation of this lowboy. I was in a rush on a job and forgot to unhook the air lines / electrical from the neck to the deck and ripped the plug right off. Check list by the levers would've saved me the work. I still recommend having a sacrificial piece of wood(old deck board works great) to put on the frame of the truck for the neck support bar to push up against. So if this ever happens in the future the board will fall off and you hopefully wont catch the frame.

[@LocalmotionSpain]

Always live the countryside around where you live - reminds me so much of Forest of Dean, England, where I'm from originally. Wishing you and your family a Feliz Navidad fro Spain 🥃🌲

[@CaptainKleeman]

Maybe I'll be able to see those forest some day! Thanks for watching!

[@mikestrand3747]

My dad has bout same year chev with that many miles and has no plans on getting rid of it lol..he's also down in southern Indiana so not much rust so just keeps driving it

[@thomasdesmond2248]

On the plus side DP damaged the trailer first. Lol God bless

[@CaptainKleeman]

That’s right!

[@Imroytc]

Add a micro switch to the plate that lifts the gooseneck so when the plate is down it turns on an indicator light on the gooseneck and or inside the cab of the truck.

[@4051a]

I know Mike did it because the deck had a lot of dirt on it. Don't get in a hurry and check everything when hooking up and you will be fine. Have a good Thanksgiving.

[@bnewton5922]

That repair was a challenge. Happy Thanksgiving. Stay safe

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you!

[@John-hd5ex]

Is it possible to get a spring loaded air valve that you could plumb into the trailer air supply so that if that arm is down the trailer breaks have no air to release. Would be a fail safe way to make sure it doesn’t get left down again

[@mikenixon9164]

Happy Thanksgiving. Good video.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you Mike!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great episode thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainKleeman]

[@danaitch3880]

What a fine job at nesting everything. Next time DP is yanking on CK's chain, I'm bringing up this video. 👀 Everything in one run. I know some who would have milked that run.

[@machinemoverman4614]

I told Mike to watch that. Trust me, that not the first time that has happened, or the last. I might have done that myself, can’t remember clearly, hehe.

[@Losttoanyreason]

Yee haw! DP broke something for a change that he can't blame on you but of course, as you know by now, you don't actually have to be the guilty party to get blamed🙃🤣. I don't think I've ever seen DP so hyper focused ,serious, no nonsense, before. Not the usual silly banter with you three, with everyone picking at each other. That pin really had him flummoxed. Were you legal on the load? LOL.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hahaha, we wanted to get it back on the road. And yes, legal haul

[@glenjones6980]

I'm surprised DP didn't call out the lack of video evidence and blame someone else there. At least normal service was resumed and we all fell to the floor and generally got beat up a bit in another epic Capt K production.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Haha, hey thanks for watching!

[@davidconaway2830]

I can sure appreciate your decision not to use the trailer you sold to another person....but I would've called that guy and asked to use it;-) Really enjoy your channel, wit and content.

[@CaptainKleeman]

you can use the 304 to put the rake and the bucket in the back of the dump truck and then load everything else on the trailer

[@bobbowlinex9319]

Mike needs to add a limit switch to that with a light or something that will go out when it's in the up position. Would probably be way cheaper then replacing it again

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely an option. When things slow down this winter he is going to pull it down to the shop and do a few minor modifications.

[@stevenr8606]

@Bob, that would work. But, Mike's surgery would definitely be costly 😉

[@matta3888]

Add flashing red lights to the lift. You could see them in the rear window.

I understand about the three car theory living in northern minnesota. When I got married 43 years ago my wife didn’t understand why that people up here had garages bigger than the house I told her for more than one car or two because when it get cold at least one would start and we also need a pole barn for snow removal equipment and play toys four wheels, skidoo’s, boats etc. and an other one for the sauna / dog house so I have some where to go when she’s mad at me which went over like a lead ballon
