Been trying these led lights in toolbox out for a bit. They are brighter in person, especially after your eyes have adjusted to the darkness. when I filmed this I had just turned off the bright led shop lights and my eyes hadn't adjusted yet, so they didn't look that bright to me at first, and the gopro does a horrible job at showing the brightness. They're not overly bright, but plenty bright enough, and have been very helpful when loading and unloading at night and finding stuff in the box without fumbling around or holding my phone for a light etc.

I was going to use the same lights but an amber flashing light as a beacon for a wood chipper. In hopes that it being small and flush that it won't get knocked off by a limb. Good job Chase.

That might work. Happy with these so far, figured it was the most robust way of doing it.

Very nice. When I was doing stuff in the dark, I got a headlamp, rechargeable, worked great.

I can't remember if you mentioned Mike Beckett from MD Alignment on a video one time. Anyways when I listened to him on the radio he said that these new trailer axles are thinner than the old one's and the axle flex's and causes wear on the edge of the tires. Their fix to that was weld a steel angle iron on the axle to stop the flex. You can call them at MD alignment and ask.

I seen a video on that a good while back and it probably is part of the issue. I've had this issue before on truck and trailer but it's usually after the tires have 100k - 120k miles. These were at 65k miles, so only thing I have changed is running more empty miles and going down a rough road and I've also never ran that brand tire, so it could be a softer compound also.
