so let me fill you guys in a little bit i'm freaking out man we've got way too
many irons in the fire you start one project then you gotta wait for something to arrive
so you start five projects and then they all come to a head at exactly the same time and that's
when you become paralyzed and you can't do anything so I set aside today to handle a few
tasks that i've been putting off one of them is I gotta get this auger started that sounds like
it'd be really easy but it's from Amazon so we don't know what to expect I gotta put a dump
bed on the Gator and i'll explain why and I have to put proper tie downs in my trailer because I
bring the Gator places and tie it down like pretty pretty sketchy it's not good so let's get started
so basically the way this thing works is put this big old drill bit it comes with one up to
eight inches in diameter we fit that on there pop it into place and now what we have is this
big old drill all right so what do you reckon the chances are that this is gonna fire right up
it's too good to be true
this is amazing oh man when Kevin sees this he's gonna flip so I say we should probably
let it run for a little bit before we work it i'm amazed if this holds up we got to build
about 200 feet of fence we have to put in these trailhead repair stations at Berm Park
we got projects everywhere and on that note let me give you a little bit of info it's called project
horse berm it's a code name it's not going to be called project horse berm when I tell you about it
like a month from now it's something completely different it's kind of like the Berm Peak Ranger
Station but not like the Berm Peak Ranger Station at all that's all I can tell you
all right Kevin's sprucing up the trails because we're gonna do a whole video where we ride
all of Berm Peak but I gotta show them this for project horse sperm auger that's nice
not bad for Amazon right
grabs in there you want to give it a shot here is he good or is he good look at that I think
it's way better than using post hole diggers we could just be banging out fence posts a
minute each with this I mean how much time is this going to save at project horse berm
I mean a lot it's about 200 feet of fence that's a lot yeah that's like 200 fence post right no
all right let me grab the eight inch auger it's easier to change out the bit
than on my drill I think we're gonna have to two man it yup okay
yeah let's chill this seems super cowboy like it's wild
should we try to one man it you can break your arm all you want
do you think this is the most dangerous thing we own now all right so on to the next thing
the Gator now the Gator this this bed actually flips up
and you both lift it up and you dump it out it's not very efficient and so today we're
gonna make it a power dump bed isn't it supposed to have these pistons on the side that like assist
its dumping oh yeah there's one of them we must have beaten on this thing pretty bad
as part of project horse sperm
we're going to be moving a lot of material so we'll move the material with the Gator
this guy right here gets installed under the bed we're going to run
electricity up to the front little switch I can just press a button right from the driver's
seat and dump gravel rocks dirt whatever we need this is going to save us a ton of time
should be pretty straightforward yeah let's start taking the old Gator apart and see what we find
something he's got to plug in here right that doesn't look right
yes so this connector here should reach the dashboard
and it does now it lines up force this in there we go
there it goes yup they make it pretty foolproof you really can't mess these up
let's see if this is the power connector yeah it is so let's see
if we can extend this out because now this piece right here needs to connect up there
look at that this is like this is kind of too easy I always knew I was going to do this myself
oh wait what about the latch okay so now the bed is latched
yeah it's not gonna it's not gonna work with the latch there so we gotta remove the latch
should I just saw it off or should I look at the instructions um
yeah step one is remove the roller latch i'm an idiot so you don't have to remove this at all
all you have to do is remove this catch right over here and so if
you ever wanted to restore it back to a manual dump bed it's easier
oh yeah no problem okay so this is supposed to do a thousand pounds i'm a little bit less
than a thousand pounds it didn't seem to be straining at all so that's pretty cool
that was expensive but I don't regret that that was really easy to install
now I want to strap the Gator down to the trailer
in a more what's the word i'm looking for more not like we were doing before
so we're gonna do is we're gonna put a couple of tie-downs up in the front and we're gonna put a
couple of tie-downs up in the back you can't just screw it to the wood right it's gotta be bolted
to the actual frame so i'm gonna drill upwards so I know where the holes are gonna have to be
oh yeah they're actually the perfect length who would have thought nice the reason i'm
using a breaker bar to tighten this down is because I want to get the torque exactly right
a million foot-pounds all right hook number two three and four
hey buddy oh hello watch for the the metal shavings buddy oh you go big
so i'm just hitting the holes with some spray paint because
they're not really protected um this is a steel trailer and it can rust it just started raining
which is really odd for Berm Peak and we got one more to do so let's see if we can knock it
out before it becomes a mess out here now we're really getting rained on let's knock this out
all right so talk about maximizing time we started early in the morning we got all this stuff done
before it started pouring i'm pretty happy we've got a gas powered auger for digging fence posts
we have hooks in the trailer and of course we got the dump bed in the Gator pretty bummed out
that I can't try that right now but next month you're going to find out what project horse berm
is and you're going to see us using that dump bed quite a bit hopefully you can tell by now but i'm
not an expert at any of this stuff nevertheless I hope you learned something today and if not
I hope you're at least entertained thanks for riding with me today and i'll see you next time
if I don't get these shavings up somebody's bike tire is going to find them
or somebody's bare feet are gonna find them
you
