Been watching VGG for a long time. He's a good dude, a good Dad and I want him to succeed. He hasn't really changed, tons of revivals and sketchy drives home, still does budget builds and usually when he doesn't and spends big on a car, he gives the car away to a viewer. I don't know what's not to like unless you just don't want to see someone succeed at doing what they are good at. I just found low-buck recently, and I hope he does well too.

​​@@Robrt32that's how _any_ giveaway works. That's how prizes on gameshows and lotteries work unless they *explicitly* state they will also cover other costs/fees. It's _your_ prize so _you_ pay any related taxes and fees. There are countless stories of people getting themselves into trouble/debt after they won a car they couldn't afford to register, insure, fuel, and maintain because they couldn't think past the word _free._ The initial cost of purchase is free. After that it's yours and all the other costs of ownership are your responsibility. Which is exactly why you aren't required to accept a gift or prize. Edit: I should add that I'm not defending Vicegrip. I don't like big channels myself, either. I agree with your reasoning very much. I like to see stuff the average Joe can do. I was a flight engineer on Pave Lows. I worked for a company that made parts for NASCAR, F1, INDY, World of Outlaws, and other racing leagues, and we got to run shoulders with many racing teams. I just recently retired from a long side-career of running the pits for a sprint car owner. I've played with some really cool toys that I can't afford. But that only interests me so much, and just watching rather than doing it really doesn't interest me. What I want to see is stuff *_I_* can realistically do at home in my own garage with my own money. I love watching other gearheads because even if you've been doing it a million years you can still pick up neat, innovative, ingenuitive, creative things from watching others do their thing. But I can't really learn all that much that's useful to me from a person using super expensive tools, equipment, material, and means that I don't have access to. So with all that said, I agree with your main point there. But the taxes on giveaway prizes is just how it works. Trying to fault them for having you pay the taxes on a prize is kind of like trying to fault an 18-wheeler for having 18-wheels. That's just how the thing works. You could find other faults, sure, but that isn't one of them.

If you was to load the digger with the boom forward you could pull the machine up it’s easier than trying to push it only slips on the floor and a cross bar on the drawbar for the excavator bucket/teeth to fit under helps to hold the machine on and pull yourself up great fabrication there was a lot of work involved in that build

Almost to 100k; a simple video of your half tracks driving around offroad or trail riding, would likely get you that silver play button. Tracked vehicle videos generate alot of new viewers. According to Casey LaDelle, they helped grow his channel more than anything. He has since sold them; was difficult to tow tracked vehicle around for use during snow recoveries and they served their purpose; grew the channel.

First thing I thought was to be sure you have a towel with that trailer. You know for padding… And when you said “don’t worry I have a forklift”, you sure you didn’t mean “worry, I have a forklift. Thanks for the enjoyable videos.

Maybe use 2" wide strips from car tires bolted to the wood to provide grip. Non slippy, and low profile.

My new favorite KZread channel. Glad I found you. My sense of humor. Been going through your old vids. Good stuff.

That was a really interesting build. It looks like it works really well, and I'm glad to see the rest of the truck will get used on another project. I can't wait to see it finished.

Untethered, by the seat of the pants, out of the box ingenuity verging on genius. Bravo!

1/16 to 1/8 tow in. Will be stable. 0” toe may be scary because any slop in suspension bushings may cause fish tailing! Aluminum color will work!

"I want the flames to take awhile to get to me" This man is hilarious

That's sooo interesting, I'm really looking forward for some updates, such as making those hydraulic brakes work!

The main problem with those coupler or toung actuated brakes, they tend to actuate when backing a loaded trailer up hill-think sloped driveway.

30, 60, 90...all divisible by 3, that's consistent! You need to do a compilation video of your one liners! Also, I miss the scene in your old intro of going around in the swimming pool in the mini-boat. I laughed every time I saw it!

That sort of brake system is common for boats where you don't want electric brake components getting dunked in salt water all the time. Hopefully that one has a reverse lock out or you'll find backing up....challenging.

Awesome build amazing to watch your modification skill

Hahaha, 42, love it

A shock absorber is Always a good idea,- no matter how small a trailer is. it is just no fun to get pushed around from the inertia of a trailer in movement...I also like to have a stick welder ,despite the fact that I bought a gaswelder.. it just gives you the opputity to reach into spaces you cant get easy to weld.. I am happy now i kept it!

For the hole saw pilot you can clamp or tack a piece of trash wood or metal on the backside to locate a hole saw anywhere. Then remove it when your done. I like the stops too, but the trash method is very affirmative.

You have a superior collection of "good stuff" to work with.

Love the way you find time to play....instead of doing all the things you think you should do.

Nice! I made a great trailer out of a 1987 Chrysler minivan once. My boys really loved sawing it into pieces too.

“I’ve got to finish some old projects before I start with the new ones. Probably.” the story of my life😂😂

Innovative. Something tells me you're an engineer. Please make more videos.. I've watched almost all the videos you've made so far... new ones would be great. Thanks Low Budget Garage

Paint it the same desert tan as the half track - it would be appropriate seeing that’s where the engine is going. For the metal cross beams on the deck either use the paint you used on the bus for extra grip or just throw some sand on between coats.

"Hey kids, another Low-Buck Garage episode came out!"

With shocks and independent suspension, that trailer should ride SWEEEET.

Cool...nice work!

I love this guy… Can totally relate to his thinking

that thing looks to me like it should be john deere color scheme, green and yellow. And maybe some 50s truck style fenders on it!

4" thick solid steel rims, insane

Very cool build. As always.

When you want to use a hole saw and there is a hole you want to enlarge, just clamp a piece of plywood behind or in front of the that hole so you can drill in with the pilot drill.

Awesome Trailer! You Nailed It Again!

You have so called golden hands, meaning your skills are high on doing mechanical or other works. Also brain much more than a engineer. For that, i respect you and watch with interest every video here.

Finished! It's taken a long time, but I've now watched every Low Buck Garage video from oldest to newest. The angles cut on the (now trailer rear) chassis ends look a little stabby for use in public. I'm sure you'll add some awesome to them in a future video

You and Sleeperdude are the only youtubers my wife will watch with me - always happy to see a new video! So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I am enjoying your project. I have owned several trailers with that type of brake. I have always known them as surge brakes. The thing to remember with them, is to install the pin when you wish to back up, so the brakes won't apply while you are attempting to back up. I really like them, on a lighter trailer, because it is a complete system, and you just attach, hook up the wires, and go. I have an excavator on steel, and almost had a heart event, when I saw you sliding off the trailer. I have seen a larger excavator do a slide off a low-boy and end up on its side. The trailer had just enough lean, and all it took, was for the operator to attempt to turn a bit. Did you know that when you are watching something like that, that it seems to happen in slow motion.

Love your videos, I think the same way. Central California watching.

I love scrappy Peter Griffin.

7:32 the Whisperer does it again. :))

Sweet little trailer! I especially like how you tap underutilized resources like front truck suspension units. You could fiddle with the front clip or a pair of them and have a covered trailer for short loads.

This was a fun one to watch, thanks for sharing.
