Episode 425 - Max Coupler Installation on the Runaway Venturist.

[@lindatanner459]

If you insist on using that straight pin, put a flat washer on to protect the key from wear and snapping as easily. Used them for years in the fields with farm equipment.

[@bldlightpainting]

Using pipe wrenches on bolts and nuts is a good way to chew them up. So stop being cheap and by the appropriate wrench or socket, and torque them to the correct spec.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Sorry I didn't have any and still don't.

[@AlFonso-p6p]

Exactly 1 week ago I had to switch my tow vehicle in the middle of the freeway and i unfortunately didn't have any tools with me so I had to undo my hitch-ball by hand!!!! (Had to flip the hitch-ball for the new tow vehicle) Needless to say my hands were sore after about half an hour but luckily I got the job done. Took 4 hours to get home!!! XD

[@trailerho32]

Thank you for the video sir. Just got mine installed, followed your vid, zero issues. I appreciate you!

[@BubbasgarageTv]

You're very welcome so glad it helped. Happy Travels!

[@mikehenry4743]

I love how easily pipe wrenches can trigger people.

[@michaelmrtonkaryan3192]

Please don’t use hitch pins. Use locks. We became disconnected when bringing our new camper home. Thank god we came disconnect at a stop sign. Our coder pin came out

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Oh wow really. Thats crazy scary. Im looking to get a full set of locking pins that use the same key. TO MANY KEYS hahaha lol

[@D_Cali_Life]

Not all Locks are rated For towing but for stationary locking up a trailer . double check the manufacturer

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Very valid point.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That looks like a nice hitch and should work well on the trail.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thanks a bunch brother. Hope you and the fam have all been safe and well.

[@JKUadventures]

I have a range runner with the max coupler. Came back from my first camping trip, and had a hard time pulling out the pin. Tried to lift or lower it with the jack, no dice. Possibly because my trailer was on a little lower ground than my Jeep. Had to wiggle the arm up and down while pulling it out, took a lot of effort. Have you ever had this issue?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

wow thats crazy. Never experienced that before. I guess depending on the two being level and all. Hmm. this does remind me I probably should go out and grease mine up. But in all honesty its been performing really well.

[@JKUadventures]

@@BubbasgarageTv I'm pretty sure it was because the RR was on gravel, while my jeep was on pavement. The uneven gravel made the trailer tilt a bit so I had a real hard tome taking it off the jeep. Thanks for your reply though.

[@luckyh12345]

So, if going to pick up a Venturist, all you'd need is the ball mount? The rest comes with the rig?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Right, just take your hitch ball mount and you are good to go :)

[@JesseRizo]

I love those type of setups!!! As far as for offroad more articulation 😁vs just regular ones of course , Great video my friend :)!

[@BubbasgarageTv]

thanks a bunch brother. truly loving the rig for sure. Im so ready for the next trip ha. Hope you all are doing well and staying safe.

[@mmarpfm1]

Hello just watching your video here, thank you for posting it. I have two questions are you running 33 inch tires on your Jeep right now and also your hitch that you're using how many inch drop is it. Because I'm getting a runaway venturous and I have the same Jeep. Thanks in advance for the information. And have a good holiday

[@sk8man103]

After a year of use (I hope you got lots of trips in) how you liking the coupler? What did you use before?

[@1HarryH]

great video and lcool music. Thank you very much for the nice moments Have a nice weekend

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hey thanks a bunch. Hope you all are well.

[@SierraADV]

Zero. Zero is the correct number of pipe wrenches needed to do this appropriately.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

That works too 😜

[@samritch8868]

I am looking at these but not happy with reviews that say CU Off-road is very difficult to get hold of. They don’t list a number and that is always a red flag to me. Anyone know what it is?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Great question Sam. Never had a reason to reach out. Any questions that I could help with. We have been running ours for a while now. Over 6k miles and all is working as it should.

[@rhamlet4769]

What is the name of the song and artist used in the video?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hi Seppli its Freedom by Kaleigh Baker from Musicbed. bubbasgarage.tv/musicbed

[@texaslonestarrider]

Nice Hitch! I have something similar on my trailer.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Nice, I so need to check it out brother. Been crazy slammed.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Firsts things first, that beard is looking fantastic! secondly, that seems like it was a fairly straightforward setup. not to bad.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

haha thanks brother. Wait till you see the hair hahaha lmbo. Thanks a bunch brother. Sorry for the late reply :(

[@mrmuskey5202]

Nice job, thank you!

[@BubbasgarageTv]

[@Mraknup]

Great filming,nice presentation,thanks for sharing like30

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hey thanks a bunch!

[@danburch9989]

That might make it difficult to impossible for a criminal to steal your trailer. All they'll likely have is a ball hitch.

[@buzzsah]

Nice setup, what is it rated for weight wise ? Good seeing you guys, been a while.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hey brother. Hope you all have been safe and well. The coupler is rated at 6000 lbs per the manufacture. Sorry for the late reply. We have been crazy busy. Lots to catch up on for sure.

[@buzzsah]

@@BubbasgarageTv lol, I hear you on busy. Enjoy life, relax some.

[@wemu3537]

Really enjoyed the video. We’re scheduled to pick up our venturist the first week of Oct. Do you have a lift kit on your Jeep? My understanding is the level hitch height for the venturist is 24”. We have a stock JKU so it looks like we will need to use a 3 or 4” riser to tow the trailer level? Are you able to open the back door with the trailer attached?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hey thanks a bunch, great questions. We sure do. We are running the AEV 2.5 Dual Sport xt. You are able to open the door fully with the venturist fully attached but need to be sure not to be at too much of an angle or it will not fully open. The manufacture does offer a longer extension as well if needed but that also will change how much load you have on the rear of the Jeep. Hope this helps and congratulations you will love it :)

[@wemu3537]

Thanks for the quick response and info. Hope you guys continue to enjoy your venturist.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thanks a bunch. Love our venturist. We have been pretty slammed this summer. But looking forward to a few trips this winter and next spring :)

[@rjet43]

just got mine and i think its awesome!!

[@drillbittreed10]

What are yall up to ? Its been a long time from the last video you put out. I hope everything is ok with yall.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Hey brother so glad to hear from you. All is well here. Been on the road for a month then got back and had 3 new product launches to work on so it kinda got really crazy. We do have some videos to get out should be going live in November :) Got some really exciting things to share.

[@drillbittreed10]

@@BubbasgarageTv Im glad to hear that. I'll keep and 👁 out for it 😄😄😄😄😄

[@mrmrslillo5702]

do you drive it on highways with the max coupler or a regular 2 inch ball? and then switch to the max once you hit a trail?

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Run it just like that.

@@BubbasgarageTv damn!! no crazy wobbles? at hwy speeds 75?80?

No issues at all. Pulls like a dream. Got about 6k miles down so far.

great video!

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thanks Diddley.

[@thinredlineproductions6753]

Nice job of showing the basics. But please, it's a ball mount, not a hitch. The hitch is attached to your vehicle.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Thanks, sorry about that when your in it and rolling it's easy to get things all out of wack. Hope your having an awesome week.

[@WallysPlace66]

@@BubbasgarageTv I was wondering if you had made it up this way. What part of Michigan did you go to?

There are both crescents and sockets for that, for the love of god stop using pipe wrenches on anything but pipe

Didn't have one big enough. Made due with what I had.

[@harrymills2770]

2 pipe wrenches? Really. The male's a 19 mm. I don't know the size of the lock nut. Didn't learn it, here, either,

[@marksmith5994]

Ok, this video is over 2 years old, I just wonder how these dumb things are selling ? Getting lined up looks like a huge problem compared to a ball, NO THANKS.

[@BubbasgarageTv]

To my knowledge they are selling great. To be honest, hitching up to it is no different than a ball. Just make sure it's straight. Back up and drop the trailer. Insert a pin and you're ready to go. Been using it now for 2 years.

I watched until the pipe wrenches came out. How about using the proper tools ? If you don’t have them for a install like this , I question your mechanical knowledge and ability.

Thanks Jeff, never said I was a pro. Side note, after thousands of miles it's still working just fine.
