Buy Wranglerstar's Trailer Lock Here: amzn.to/3Boo31j (amazon affiliate link)

A lock isn’t meant to prevent your stuff from getting stolen, it just makes your neighbors stuff a quicker alternative

An East coast man would have had the proper impact sockets....lol

As an east coast guy (previously PA but now in FL), it is amazing that someone cannot take a joke. I love the east coast guy jabs!

Don't forget to weld the backs of the nuts on the trailer reciever. All the locks in the world won't stop someone from crawling under, wrenching the bolts off and replacing the entire reciever. 5 minutes of time and defeats almost every ball/hitch lock on the market. Replace all bolts with grade 8's and weld em on!

I'd recommend welding those bolts that hold the hitch to the trailer so they don't just pop the hitch off. Would a thief be willing to do that? Probably not but just a thought.

@Wranglerstar, I have this same lock. You are supposed to hook your safety chains on the “ball insert” piece. That’s why they make it flat. Then you spin the chains tight so that they can’t be used to pull the trailer without the hitch.

I’m an east coast guy and have always known you picked on us with love. God bless.

As a lifelong east coast man, I found this video difficult to watch without the use of more simple visual aids, I require menus with pictures Cody, get with the program!

Thought when you were talking about trailer hitches to east coast people, you were going to say if you want to learn more about them, just go outside to the front of your house and look.

Cody, I've been sad, but the moment you poked fun at us east coasters i laughed again. Thank you my friend!

East coast fella here!!!! N.C. To be exact. Lol. I haven’t taken your comments any other way than pokin fun. Laugh every time I to have gone to bed all hours and every night for years when I wake up I don’t even have to look at my clock to know it 3 to 3:30 am. And can’t get get back to sleep. I will start get back into prayer and the Bible again. Thanks for sharing

I feel it too brother. Been waking up around the same time and hearing that still small voice calling me to spend time with Him and study. We’re continuing to pray for you and yours. Shalom brother.

Let’s be real. A guy who steals isn’t afraid of the noise, he’s afraid of the work.

I’m an East Coast guy. Your ribbing makes me laugh out loud sitting at my workbench in my garage. It’s how guys connect with other on the jobsite. It’s saying you like someone without being mushy or awkward. Makes work fun. I too, wake up at 3am. When I don’t spend time with Jesus every day, life gets hard. The Bible has become so fun to me. Thanks for sharing your life. I’ve enjoyed watching.

I’m up at 3am every morning… I can fall right back to sleep sometimes, and I Fight to go back to sleep sometimes… I’ve never known or heard this before. Thank you. I thought it was just me.

13:49 "The pop-off valve for sanity" I like that. Another way of saying, "Sometimes all you can do is laugh, to keep yourself from crying".

Eastcoast guys just snap a little ol piece of steel like that off. I was meant to hear that last story, had a dream that woke me up at 2am,disturbing, prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, making my request known unto God. Thank you Cody,you're a sharp iron in a age of glass.

I’ve been waking up at 3am for the past two weeks and most of the time I can’t fall back asleep. It’s interesting hearing you deal with the same thing and your reasoning behind.

As an East Coaster, I have always loved the banter back and forth about West Coast and East Coast. Grow up people and love thy neighbor with a little humor. Now I need to go move some of that east coast white oak. You know Cody, the good stuff. LOL

I can testify to that as well. Being woken up at 3:00am has happened to me countless times since I gave myself to Jesus and made him the Lord of my life. Any time your having a nightmare or are awake and feel an evil presence near you cast it out in the of Jesus. It has worked every time and just saying his name in the middle of a demonic nightmare will immediately wake you up. When my dad was still alive he would tell me that there is power in the name of Jesus, and was absolutely correct.

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. And my all time favorite - I can't remember all the things I forgot!

As an EAST COAST GUY, I love to hear "gave up the ghost" in reference to failed equipment/tools as I have used that phrase for decades. Good on ya mate! lol. YAMAS!

EAST COAST GEORGIA MAN HERE. I smile/laugh every time you make an EAST COAST BOYS joke. Lighten up folks, take a joke, and be secure in your manhood so you can take a joke!! Great video as always, Cody.

the biggest weakness to a trailer is not having a locked hitch pin on the vehicle side. Thief just simply pulls your 2 inch receiver out of your receiver and puts in their 2 inch receiver... Lock up on both sides of the trailer and the truck. As far as people crying about the East Coast jokes... I am Florida Man, there are more memes about Florida Man than anywhere else. Get over yourselves folks and enjoy the content.

I'm on the East Coast of South Africa - always thought we're part of the heckling - so please keep it up.

I wake up in the 3am-4am time frame most days. I pray to myself and go back to sleep. Only 2 years ago I was told by my wife the same meaning you’ve discussed. For me it seems to happen more when I have something heavy on my mind.

I'm not only an East coast man but a Florida man! Friendly banter is one of my favorite parts of your videos.

I’m sure glad I’m a middle America guy in Oklahoma and not getting my toes smashed like those East coast guys! 😂

You don't need no stinking lock to secure a trailer. Just do it like we do up here in Detroit. You can't steal what you can't move. TAKE THE WHEELS OFF!!

Few hundred years ago it was a common thing that people would wake up in the middle of the night and spend an hr or two studying by candlelight then go back to sleep again.

Cody, just woke up at 3 AM like you are talking about (I’m and east coast guy). Felt exactly what you’re talking about, as a fellow brother of Christ. Stand strong! Thank you for the words!

The height of that flat trailer ball is taller than an actual one. Why not remove the flat ball and weld an actual ball onto it? I think that would give plenty of clearance.

"I have a plasma torch. I have an angle grinder. I can get through anything".... For the new viewers here, those are reinforced by dual alternators. That's how it gets through everything! As for the "East Coast Guys" thing, regionally, everyone has a group they pick on amicably; Texas has Okies, New York has New Jersey, Canada has Newfies, the Swiss have Belgians, and so on.

Legend has it, our East Coast Friends are still looking for a multi-color playground ball being towed behind a Honda Element

I’m an east coast guy and I think it’s hilarious. And we love you too. All in good fun. GB

Another tip is to make sure you don't give the thieves any equipment to use. For example, don't leave your angle grinder or plasma torch sitting next to the gun safe. Don't keep shovels etc in the bed of your truck. And I can't stress this enough, lock your doors. Don't make it easy for them.

as a person who routinely had to unlock those: the only problem with their design is that they tend to "freeze" in winter - water gets inside them super easily and freezes the locking mechanisim.

Born and raised in South Florida guy here. I always have a chuckle at your East Coast guy comments. GBU

The east coast ball breaking is some humor I look forward to very much

As someone that lives in the south east, most people down here know it's hard to steal stuff when you're full of holes and lead shrapnel. Had someone in my driveway last night just parked in a car. Got them on the IR scope and they heard the bolt get racked back. They promptly left.

Grampaw hindsight says: You had the tools to take the hitch off the trailer. Just keep it in the shop under lock and key until you're going somewhere with the trailer. It's only two bolts, bolts the determined thief could take off if he had a spare hitch he was going to use, which he might go get if he sees that expensive lock contraption you got.

As a good east coaster. I love a good Westcoaster. Waking at 2:30 ,and to be in a five minute window every time was a bit odd at first ... I used to sleep like a rock. Its nice to know I'm not alone,

I’m an East coast guy. I ❤️ the digs. Thank you for showing us how to be prepared. Been seeing more crime coming up from Atlanta. ❤️& 🙏 from WNC

Sorry as a Portlander, I feel your pain.

This is the lock that I put on my dump trailer as well. I also welded the bolts together and put a gps unit on it.

Been watching you for years. Great content learn a ton of valuable tips and hacks that are clear and easy to follow. The real reason I keep coming back to you is your devotion to God. You are not ashamed to state your faith share Gods word and you pray for all of us. Bravo to you for this. Blessings to you, your family , and all your subscribers.

I’m from West Virginia and I always got a kick out of the east coast guy comments… 🤣 Having said that, I must say that I have much more respect for the “Upper WestCoast” guys than the lower… Keep up the good work, we love your videos, and we pray for your continued success.

I discovered you a few days ago and can't get enough . It's refreshing to see a man of faith that's normal . Dirt bikes , aftermarket truck parts , guns ect . Thank you !

My neighbor has one of those tire "boots" installed on his trailers that traffic cops use. Always seems like a more effective measure than trying to armor the ball hitch.

Hi. Hi I am in the U.K. I have watched your videos since the the one when you shot the wolf/Cyote.. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad... Have watched your two youngsters grow with great interest... Keep on going life goes on... Trevor.....

My husband and I have been watching you, and last night my husband listened to this particular KZfaq. I also wake up between 2:30-3:00 am. It started over 4 years ago, horrible nightmares that Joe would have to wake me up! Now when I wake up at this time, to balance out the anxiety, I get into the Word. Thank you for sharing this....it's a relief to understand and now I just make it my quiet time for Him. ~~Fran Macdonald

Any would be thief that wonders onto your property is in for a bad day.

“Get right with God.” If you lost viewers because of this statement; so be it. They’ll leave with that nugget in their minds. Whether the time is today or an infinite number of years from today, the message remains the same. We are called to witness, and you are doing just that. Go boldly forward! Onward!

Hey Cody, I’m an East coast guy and I appreciate you, your wisdom, and all that you share. Thanks.

Thank you for taking your time for me! from Boston MA.

A land anchor and chain over the axle can give any theift a surprise as the try to drive off

The idea is to not make it a buffet line, any deterrent, even an obvious one will hopefully make them steal an easier mark.

The quickest way to break into that is what you did in the very beginning as a ring an impact with your battery powered one and just unscrew mouth and bowls, and bring your hitch with you and put it in his place and screw it back down, leaving the lock system sitting on the ground where the trailer was. But proven industries does make a lock system that covers the head of those bolts as well. I am learning.

I am an East Coast guy and I love the humor in your channel. I don’t always agree with 100% of what you say but I love that about you as an individual and I believe in liberty with responsibility. I keep listening for lots of reasons. It’s great entertainment in my book. Keep going Cody

This is kind of spooky to tell you the truth. I've been waking up at 3AM for no apparent reason for years now and it has driven me almost mad each time it's happened. The next time I awaken at 3, I'll make it a point to start praying and see where the Lord leads.

What prevents someone from unbolting that whole thing from the trailer, throwing their own trailer ball attachment on and hooking it up?

I noticed the last few years I've been waking up around 2:30 to 3:00 AM. Had no clue as to why thanks for clearing it up.

Hang in there and know we are praying for you!!!!

I was very saddened to hear of your father's passing. I too lost my father back in 1992 and still miss him after all these years. Watching you work in your shop reminds me of my dad teaching me to weld and use a cutting torch when I was 12 years old. My parents started their married life in a 2-room house that was given to them as a wedding gift. Over the years, my dad never hired anything done. Therefore, it seemed that I always had a tool belt around my waist as we made improvements to the home. My mom just celebrated her 83rd birthday and still lives in that same home to this day. I share these things just to let you know that there are many of us men who are carrying on the legacies that our father's left us. Another common thread that binds you and I is our strong faith in the Lord. Without Jesus Christ, I am nothing and I know you feel the same way. Even though I do not own a homestead, I still enjoy watching you create and improve yours. I will lift you up in my prayers and wish you and your family God's richest blessings. Keep sharing your KZfaq channel as it brings me and others a great deal of enjoyment (and I learn a lot of new things as well). God Bless!!!

Your weakest link now is your bolts holding your hitch on simply weld the nuts to bolt

I love it when you pre-troll the trolls.

2:30, In all my time with trailers I never thought to look underneath to see how the hitch works, thanks for this

If someone unsubscribed because they got offended of you “picking on them” … then you were right and good riddance

I see locks as time buying devices. So that the amoung of time and level of noise the larva has to take and do is such that I give me time to notice and react. Its 2021, thieves have 60v battery tools..

East coast guy here,no offense taken sir :) Lived on the east coast most of my life(except Army days)Met a few west coast guys,like you,most were good men. May God bless you and yours :D Peace

'Just Deal With it' - Preemptive strike on the hate! LOL. 'And for our east coast friends...go to the library' _ professional level troll. OMG!

We have a serious problem here in Rural Alberta and worse yet the only thing the authorities permit you to do id watch it happen.

Cody I am curious if you have seen an increase in horse ownership where you live. In our area the local Mennonites in the Angeles Camp (CA) have seen an increase in the number of English (non Mennonites) wanting small buggies. Horse and buggies on the roadways have increased. Owning a buggy that can be drawn by a horse, donkey, if you have land could be a wise choice if one lives within 10-15 miles of a town.

I had a few of those smart ones ask me why I purchased a $300 Ft. Knox lock-set with puck lock for a boat trailer, when they were using the $25 locks "that do the same thing". I figured my $300 lock was a good investment to keep my $130k boat on a $9k aluminum trailer. Not to mention within 1 year, 2 of those guys had their boats stolen out of their driveway while using the locks "that do the same thing"!

East Coast guy here. Keep up the good work and keep on preaching brother.

I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use chrome sockets with an impact wrench. If the east coast guys loose their sense of humor, feel free to poke fun at Midwest, Cincinnati city dwellers.

That 3am hour I've always heard as "The Witching Hour" for the same reasons you describe. In medieval times, Christians would pray at multiple times during the day (the Divine Office) including waking around 2-3am to do Matins (singing hymns, praying/reciting certain Psalms, etc). It's neat to hear that discussed on this channel. God bless!

been watching your channel for 7 years now and the amount i’ve learned from you is immeasurable. thank you for all you do.

Cody here on the east coast the thieves are also carrying the portion of the trailer you removed with the impact and chrome socket. They unbolt that section let it hit the ground with the lock attached then bolt the one they brought with them to your trailer and hook up and away they go. I would suggest a couple of spot wields around the bolts so they can’t unbolt that section very easily.

Thank You, Sir for the 3am talk. Adult conversation.

I love the feeling of a successful modification. Just imagine, no locks needed in heaven.

Thank you Cody -from the East coast

I love your East Coast Burns and quips! It is some comic relief when your doing a simple task!! Keep it up!

As a atheist and recovering Catholic, I enjoy most of your content! Recovered East coast guy!

First

I am nowhere near as devout as you. As an East coast guy, I will not hold it against you. You did although, strike the hot iron today as I watched this. I wake up every night between 2 and 4 am. I now know why. Keep sending your message there are people listening. I feel your pain with the passing of your father. But if I can give you the advise I live by, we begin to die from the moment we are born. Every day in between is a blessing.

Maryland guy here. Love the channel and everything about it. Jokes, Family, Hard work and Everything in-between.

2:27 as an east coast man......these digs get me talking to my screen every time....

Do ANYTHING to keep your family and home safe. ANYTHING!

Cody, I am personally not a man of faith but I truly love the true and righteous nature it gives you. You are truly a man of resolve and high morals. I am glad you find such solace and foundation in religion. It is an amazing way of living life. With the extra cushion of faith and hope it provides. I may not be a believer myself but I can certainly respect one. I hope you and everyone else have a wonderful day.

East Coast guy here. Love your videos and your candor!

I'm an East Coast Gal and I love your humor!

I'm an east coast guy and it actually cracks me up when you pick on the East Coast guys, keep dong your thing, God Bless

I live in Tennessee and I love your channel sorry for your loss. And we pick on west coast guys like you you pick on east coast it’s all out of love brother

Biggest thing around here (Northern Maine) is stealing catalytic converters. It takes a couple minutes, a battery sawzall, and enough ground clearance to crawl under without a jack. And it leaves you’re car sounding like a hot rod and costs you $800 just for an aftermarket exhaust, never mind the labor.

Hello Cody. Around here we have a lot of oil field equipment and sites. Home owners on farms and acreages are installing large pipe gates on their driveways and land entrances. 4 inch surplus pipe is quite cheap and makes great gates. Then a little ditch maintenance is done to make a moat adjacent to these gates. Opening and closing a gate to go somewhere can slow you down and be a pain but it is better than finding someone has made off with your hard earned stuff.

I was an east coast otr truck driver dealing with a fifth wheel but when I moved to Oklahoma was the first time using a traler hitch & a goose neck trailer

I recently saw a video that explained how people used to sleep before the industrial revolution, and they described people sleeping in two stages, first sleep, second sleep where they woke up in the middle of the night for about 2 to 4 hours and then went back to bed.

Out here in New York I really appreciate all the extra time you take to thoroughly explain all of these fancy west coast technologies 🤙 keep up the awesome content 🤙
