as a box truck/trailer tech it hurts seeing them grind and punch with a hammer the steel and aluminum rivets use an air chisel to cut the outside off And the punch to pop the rivets out the skin panels and side post lol

[@andrewbarowski554]

Thank you guys for amazing work and sharing yours experience.

[@romantheegreat208]

Yea man no problem! Thank you for watching!

[@yebelcampos6248]

Beautiful job handsome young boys. God bless you. Persuade your dreams.. I see owning your shop

[@dmitriisavelev6556]

Good job guys,I don't think I would do it.

[@Samil101]

Amazing! I’ve never seen a trailer rebuilt, thanks guys now I think I’ll be able to afford one now.😂 New sub thanks!

[@papatwisted6481]

It's done very incorrectly and is unsafe....

[@tamipotirala6973]

It can be done correctly.be sure you take it to a reputable trailer shop.

[@bryantford3054]

That looked like a Volvo that was pulling your trailer. Nasty wreck.

[@romantheegreat208]

Yea man! Glad the driver got out safe

[@opie773]

I experienced deja vu watching this video. I could've sworn I saw the same clip used twice starting at the 7:23 mark and 9:53 mark. Good luck with the rest of the rebuild guys.

[@5.43v]

It is the same

Looks really good great job guys

Is their a gap in the pannaling like their is in wood wall trailers?

[@TheRustyCracker]

Previt comrades... nice rebuild I wouldn’t dare to rebuilt a dry van lol. Maybe a low boy or step deck but not a dry van seems to hard lol.

[@romantheegreat208]

Thanks man. This one wasn’t to bad.

[@elcamionerous3894]

Excellent great job

[@col.johnson9938]

Wonderful job gentlemen, been looking for a place to get materials to replace the roof on my 7’ x 14’ cargo trailer. Closest Utility Parts Store is about 2 hours away. What did you pay per foot for your aluminium roof? Keep up the great videos

[@slowlane1267]

worked in a semi trailer factory, careful when drilling and other person on opposite side, plenty of people have gotten drilled through their hands/arms etc, ugly injuries damaging tendons etc

[@romantheegreat208]

That sounds bad! Luckily no injuries here

[@blackasia8193]

Lol happened today

[@OffroadCpl]

Did you look at the crossmember and the 5th wheel plate. There is a reason it was total for liability reasons. Also certain things has to be done by d.o.t shop .

[@romantheegreat208]

Yes we did look at it and had someone come out look at it. There was no issue with it. Reason it was totaled because a shop would charge an arm and a leg to fix that

[@OffroadCpl]

@@romantheegreat208 good deal just don't to see it break and hurt someone going down the road

[@benbenz1229]

Nice job I do it for a living one thing is the bottom rail needs to be pass the dolly legs also a large section of steel plate to reinforce it at the bottom just some advice

[@anthonyjimenez8619]

@@benbenz1229 i said the same thing with a reinforcement plate in the back

I bet it cost 1 MILLION dollars! signed, Dr. Evil

[@bojankljajic5408]

Can you tell us what tools did you use for repair of this trailer? Especially want to know what kind of rivet gun is it (what air pressure it needs), is there any attachments for it ? Thank you, God bless you.

[@johncalvo1743]

@Bob f Bob, can you send me your contact info somehow? Or at least your location?

[@davecao908]

Very useful video

[@voltaje3992]

Very good job guys

[@romantheegreat208]

Thank you for watching!

[@tamipotirala6973]

Impressive

[@luisescobar1348]

The top rail or bottom rail needs tobe replaced or do a 16 ft long sección and battom rail needs a backing bar to have bought pices together, backing bar need to be at list 3 crossmeber each side

[@medellinnica]

Nice job!!👌👏👍

[@myronyoder5352]

Great video guys!

[@romantheegreat208]

Thanks man!

[@Jmoss3607]

You guys should have turned it into reefer, dry van sucks. Great work by the way 👌👌👌

[@romantheegreat208]

Right would of been worth a lot more. Thanks for watching.

[@nathanielwilliams2473]

I wish you were in Michigan

[@mericapowerwashing6520]

What was the cost of the panels

[@wendellb36]

Hammer for a bucking bar? I've used a dime once on a hard to get to spot on an F111

[@polarisbass]

Please tell me y’all have a plate on the bottom side of the bottom rail splice? Lot of stress in that area definitely need to put 6-10’ x4” steel

[@papatwisted6481]

LMAO the splice plate is the least of the worries with the splice being in the couplerb area. That rail section should've been over the dolly legs at minimum and shouldn't EVER section both the top and bottom rail in the same area on the same side. This entire video makes me cringe from the tools used to the thought process safety wise. Sickens me to watch untrained mechanics put this crap on the road let alone a video to teach others how to do it incorrectly on you tube. I certainly hope the next person to do an FHWA/federal inspection on this unit shuts it down before someone gets killed riding beside it.

[@johncalvo1743]

@@papatwisted6481 Papa, send me your info. I could use your help.

[@luisescobar1348]

And have secctions in the same area top rail and bottom rail that is a lot of stress they need to do a bathroom rail sección at list 16ft long and put a backing plate at list 3 cross members holding it

[@kevinromero4682]

I’m about to start a hot shot business down here In Georgia. I want to try using one loadboard first. Would you prefer Truckstop or dat?

[@romantheegreat208]

Both load boards. But you had to choose only one it would be Truckstop for start

[@DKUSTOMSGARAGE]

What gun you usefor rivets and where you get rivets

[@romantheegreat208]

It was an air hammer with a tip that has a flat end. Got the rivets from the utility parts store with the rest of the parts.

[@d-trucking6813]

Auto Rebuilds Garage can you send a link from amazon or eBay link where to get a gun. Check out my channel. Have to fix a truck and trailer in a few month.

[@d-trucking6813]

Auto Rebuilds Garage thx, can I use those rivers from trailler for my cascadia cab?

[@romantheegreat208]

I’m not sure on that. I’d do some research I’m sure you can find some info on KZbin.

[@hunterbrimhall2365]

D - Trucking use a cp714 air hammer. Its specially made to buck rivets. Not sure on what rivets you would need but I would just get some aluminum buck rivets that most truck and trailer supply place would have.

[@CesarHernandez-bp2ho]

En qué párate de EU están trabajando, yo reparo esas cajas en México

[@JoseLopez-fh5sh]

Where did you guys order the frame from? For the top of the trailer ? Having a hard time finding that or sheets metal or aluminum to replace the fiberglass that torn on my trailer

[@sasankarajapaksa8549]

Hi, can you guy covert a reefer trailer into a dry van?

[@Diamondartwithapril]

What is the stuff that makes it a food grade trailer ????

[@AlexTheGurutv]

what is the name of the (steel?) studs that the dry van trailer uses? I want to make a box with a pallet like bottom for forklifts to move, in the same way these trailers are made but on a smaller scale. think 8ft tall x 8ft long x 6 or 5ft wide.

[@msfiyahfly7]

Didn’t see the part 3?

That's about a 24 hr job in our shop

Where u buy parts for reefer oh dry van, panel??

[@austinhmmm9087]

People talk crap on the hobo fright tools, but i see that grinder in the beginning! Not everything needs to be snap-on. Also, is rather hear what's going on in the video than your weird voice in music. I basically watched it on mute

[@chunoramos5370]

I have tips and trick to make this Job way easier...13yrs exp..air hammer chisel and punch skill saw makes it easier and faster....buck rvts on bottom rail is better

Nice work where did you pay the material please 🙏

[@rvazquez4205]

Do you know where I can get white paint to paint the trailer

[@supremelogisticsinc3077]

Call trailer manufacturer and ask for paint code. Then you can go to paint shop and they can make paint based on that code.

Did that trailer get jackknifed?
