Hi Luke , nice show of backbone ! F the haters and carry on regardless , when you pack the bearings , wipe the grease in from the wide side to the thinner side , so in the same direction as the rollers point and if you don't get grease all over you will see it come out from under the cage at the narrow end when that portion is packed so rotate a few degrees and wipe it till it comes out the other end, about a heaped tablespoon of grease should be enough for the inside of the bearing. Love your channel , best of luck to you and Lyndsay

Don't know if anyone has said or not, if so over look it. That axle set up is what is known as dayton hubs. Dayton hubs are stronger, but scare a lot of people off since they can be dangerous since tires do fall off if stuff isn't checked. But perfect for what you need. That being said an old farmers trick of tightening them up, sit a drink can on the ground at the bottom sidewall edge of the tire and spin it and slowly tighten the lugs all the way around. If it hits you have one side further out and it will wobble going down the road.

2 things.... On the Tundra, reach through the door jam and lightly bang on the hood as you're pulling the hood release. Common trick that works most times.

So although I 100% approve of your bearing packing method, I seem to be compelled to tell you how to do something .. lol. The bearing cap should be filled with grease. This is handy in the off chance the bearing heats up for some absurd reason, the heat will melt the grease and it will run into the the actual bearing before it disintegrates and the flaming wheel rolls off into woods and causes a forest fire or burns someone’s house down. (Disclaimer I was never there and have a solid alibi)

I have a thought 🤔 what if you poder coat the crab pots if you find some used steel and make a big square box and make a fire box find small blowers so you can get the temperature 400°F for 30 minutes i know it stronger than paint and it last longer if you can find 6 4x8 steel you can make a 4'x8' box with a 2'x 2' fire box .
