I watch Piglet when I having a bad day. He's always having a worse day than me.

DIY is the only way to get it right, the shop ends up being a total waste of time and money. You’re getting it done right now

D.I.Y. FOR THE WIN!!!... 😎💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

You could call the new Mega Cab Long Bed the “MegolaDodge”

Double pull to get in the truck? LOL. It unlocks automatically when it senses your hand touching the inside of the door handle, then it unlocks. Just give it half a second and it's only a single pull. ;)

Any good fabricator would have done the job, most shops are like taking it to walmart, Alex you are now becoming a fabricator, go buy yourself a plasma cutter and welder...I did and a whole new world began, have fun buddy!

Glad you got it fixed, that’s the hotshot way!

You can attach your break-away to your anhcor points via landyard with carabiner clip. Do NOT attach the breakaway to the gooseneck chain. That would be an Out of Service validation. Per DOT: Your breakaway must be attached to the power vehical. That being said, i'd just attach it to the anhcor points so u don't stress or if in tight turn have an acident and break the break away cable. Good luck man!

Good job 👍 thanks for sharing 👍

Dam bro that’s a nice looking truck. Good luck with hotshot’n with it lol....will you be replacing those wheels any time soon? Thanks for sharing.! 😎👍

That guy u bought the truck from was shady. He knew that the bed wouldn't except the trailer hitch.

No matter what the problem is it doesn't get you down, Alex you have a good outlook on life .I find that's a rare quality in people and that's why I enjoy watching your videos. Good luck and be safe.

Look at you mister DIY Another anchor point should be easy 😉

Typically on mega longs the frame is cut and stretched right behind the cab and the rear section is just rolled back 2’ untouched.

an exhaust shop could fix that up in a jiffy

Who needs a shop 🤷🏻‍♂️ good job alex 😬 I like your king shocks !

My 2019 dually you just put your hand on the handle and it unlocks lol

I wish you good luck with the truck. But my past experience is a truck that has been modified can be a big can of worms. Your best bet is to stick with OME, non modified. It's just easier for getting part and work done.

What's the point in using phone order for Starbuck when they tell u to come back later? What a mess.

While you were in the drill mood, I thought you would add a ring for the break away cable. Easy job that shop turned away. Probably best that they didn't work on something so simple. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

Love the Setup. A Ram Megacab Longbed is a Unicorn unless you want to pay 70k new Stick to OEM everything. You don't want to be stopped in a State where the Exhaust is illegal.

I’m such a fan of yours brother. This is so my dream on what I want to do in the future !!! Keep up the great work

piglet...that carli setup is the best part of the truck...literally like a 8k-9k setup

Loving that MEGALONG!!!!

Nope they tried to put it in 180 degrees backwards! I’ve seen this but the shop removed the bed and realized their mistake!! Different model but same issue, they said the hitch was for the wrong model, short bed vs long bed, total BS!

Hey dude I enjoy all the info you bring to your business! I hope that I'll be able to get my truck running hotshot loads soon my self!

Great job. GOD BLESS

Alex once again you are the man know matter what it is you get it dun as always God bless and stay safe out there 🙋‍♂️ 🇬🇧

Call the new truck dirt diggler.

Hmm I wonder if the flex plate is still stock

Alex, on the offset hitch, B & W makes one already. Just gotta pop that baby in and gives you as much length ( or shortening) as possible. They make a boatload of accessories for the hitch. Even a fifth wheel that pops right in. They are high, but best stuff on the market. Get what you pay for brother. Huck Morgan

Doing some good work

Put some bailing wire around that exhaust and roll little piggy!

Don’t drill upside down without safety glasses. 😎

Torque all the bolts to spec very important Alex!

Times are getting tough things are only going to get together

Megatron

I know your all excited but I hope this truck doesn't turn into a money pit for you. Good luck with the new ride.... oh and watch that overall length bro!

You're an inspiration to all us who aren't the most mechanical but just gotta get stuff done! Right on man!

Make sure you torque those hitch bolts to the required spec so they don't come loose! Hope the truck did well on its first trip towing :)

I noticed Texas out going freight took a major slow down. That's a sweet truck. What every you do, don'emissions

I hope to God you put lockite on the bolts and you torqued the bolts to spec or you might loose your trailer when it falls off and hopefully not kill anyone

Sometimes bought sense is the best sense for some people. That truck is meant for the mall parking lot, not for running across the country making money.

A megacab with modified frame isnt that against dot code? And arent you too long in over length with goose neck trailer

You can get a annaul over length permit, in Florida i think it's like 60 bucks or less. Had to get 1 with ram quad cab, long bed pulling 51' kaufman.

Nice!!

Alex, i ran into the same Problem, People, had brought a truck & Chassis, & then add the Bed on later, it is cheaper by 20k to 25 k, dollars, the ball and receiver, is in a different Place, because Chassis, do not a place for a bar underneath it. For me, i had to buy the parts, & they had to be Welded, or bolted to the Frame. So when you young you know everything, but when you get older, you get Wiser. The frame on a Chassis is smaller than a Standard Pickup or Super Duty. Take care Alex & Family. When buying a truck from somebody, that the way they make there money, buying a truck & chassis, then adding a Bed. Later CSE

Alex..You're a goofball. And I mean that in a good way. At least you keep it lighthearted and don't let stuff get to you.

Call it megatron ✊🏾

Alex, whoever put those airbags on your truck either didn’t know what they were doing and/or used a kit where the person who designed it had NO clue what they were doing. They do-not go inward towards the axle pumpkin, mounting them this way causes center stress on the center of the axle and gives you less sway control. The airbags should be mounted directly between/underneath the frame and leaf spring, sitting on top the leaf spring and directly under the frame ( NOT off to the side as it is now ). Picture a 6 foot long 2” x4 “ piece of wood with two cinder blocks underneath each end of the wood, essentially making a bridge. With the wood acting as the axle and the cinder blocks acting as the wheels and you’re wanting to put 2, 50 pound bags on the piece of wood, putting both of them towards the center is putting stress on the middle of the wood versus putting each 50 pound bag towards the ends near the cinder blocks.

The more I see that rear bumper the more I like it.. I’d keep it on assuming it’s not stupid heavy.

The B&W for that year isn’t in the fame. It’s in the brace

This is why you keep vehicles stock. Especially if you’re going to hotshot.

You don’t need to double pull Bud. Just touch the inside of the handle, wait a sec, then pull 👌👍

If you put your hand around the handle w/o pulling it will unlock. I was pulling mine handle too until I figured that out. Lol

Next Venture ------- T/P Custom Shop Services.

That’s y I did my mclb the way I did frame in frame slid out the short frame replaced it with a frame from a long bed dodge truck I live in Tx to

the mirror probably slides in on the bar Alex

Gonna need a video of how you like sleeping in a mega cab. We spoke about this a few months ago. I asked why more hotshot don't use mega cabs. You said the 8 foot bed is needed. Well now u got the best of both worlds

Loads have dropped off everywhere on the west coast. It’s slim pickings for good paying loads.That news sucked on the hitch!

800,000+ miles with CDL driver here! Currently a company driver. Thinking about HotShot....give me a shout!

Alex, make your driveway wider, simple easy to do, then you will not have a problem backing in

Good job you need to name her mega

The perfect truck for me would include a manual trans aside from long bed and mega cab.

yeah it shouldnt have changed anything to do with the hitch so that shop was trash if they couldnt even attempt to install that i would make sure they lose business for sure.. thats why their sign said they are trailer repair .. not truck modification or installation.... that would have been my first clue ahha but when you need somethign like that done just find a good ole normal garage to do the work=, or an offroad shop they would install stuff like that for you ;)

So, that trucks frame was custom stretchec/lengthened for the Longbed as it is not a Factory option on the Mega Cabs?

All I’m seeing in Alex’s videos these days are trucks on top of his trailer.

hey Alex, i was curious if you know anyone that would need just a truck and i only wanna work part time, i have no trailer but have a f350 with goose neck hookup , i am in south carolina and was curious if you or anyone you might have contacts with might be looking for something like this or know where i can go to get in with someone? great videos by the way !

well if i dont have a load i'll just tow my trucks around nananana

I saw your 2015 WIT 500,000 miles sold for $41,000 WOWWWWWW.

Well TP my life follows that pattern also, it never fails a 15 minute job always turn into a 3 day thing..😀 Smile that is all you can do and follow up to make sure it will work out..Have a great day..😀👍☕️🍫🇺🇸

Long beds are tough fore hotshotting. Good luck (-:

I question why you would go buy something that someone else has altered. Why not just buy the 4 door, long bed from the dealer? Then everything is done right the first time. Others have already asked, but I haven't seen where you answered yet, but have you checked your over all length with this truck and your trailer? Are you still legal on length?

Tx outbound sucks because of all the new carriers......hmmmmmmm, wonder who helped that happen?

Stretching the frame should not have changed anything with the cross member at all the cross member would still have the same whole line up maybe they gave you the wrong hitch when you bought it

Discount hitch all over Texas there’s one in Rosenberg Tx too

Weird that you bring up texas outbound being bad. Ive been having no luck getting some texas inbound so I can get some home time

I would work for this man yes sir I would just to get my feet wet in the hotshot game. Learning a lot from him.

Maybe liability issues with the shop... No big deal. Did you test the hitch out yet? The missing hanger might not be an issue because you do have an axle dump 😉

Any chance you can take the megacab to the scales? I wonder how much it weighs.

Texas outbound has always sucked why I don’t go to Texas, tons of loads going in so everyone will haul out cheap brokers are not stupid

I have a big question I’m trying to start doing hotshots… now do I need to register my truck and trailer as a comercial vehicle????. The truck I just got it from a dealership 3 months ago

Still inspiring me bro. Thanks. I'm working on it, but it's extremely slow going. Still dream inspired though... Like how I did that? P.s. good looking driveway Alex

Great job Alex, look how much money you saved by doing it yourself.

Tried using your website to start looking for someone to lease under and it hasn't come up with any recommendations. Just a blank screen. Am I doing something wrong or does it take a while to get anyone to see it?

Where did y'all get all of your straps and binder's? Trying to find a cheap way to go

Budy do you read what people writes about your stuff..do an assesment maybe more than half they know your stuff... like dont buy modify trucks or get away from Dogde's or RAM's try the other 2 brands and see (GM and Ford) flashy is not always reliable...

Did i see a lightbulb from your license plate lights dangling under the bed of your truck??

Tow Piglet what happened with the Ford? Obviously got bad fuel and blew the high pressure pump?

Delete the def ASAP 😎🇺🇸

Dodge is junk Been there done that

It's possible the shop saw the aftermarket exhaust and thought the truck was deleted, and didn't want to touch the exhaust on a "deleted" truck.

where you get the trailer ? cant find one anywhere.

Buen 👍

I have a good question. How can you run a 2020 F350 dually as non-cdl? From what the law says here in Montana, they add the GCWR of the F350 which is 14k plus the trailer GCWR of about 15k and you are now 29k, which would require a CDL. The cops here check your drivers door when they stop you and do the math. They said we can't pull a trailer legally with any newer dual rear wheel pickups without a CDL since they have raised the GCWR of the newer trucks so high.

sale it ! Buy FORD

Alex, you need to slow down and research stuff before you buy.

What about the liability if you're ever in a wreck with a non oem frame and a modified hitch?

Was a long bed worth the issues? For a 5th wheel camper. I pull with a short bed. Never had a issue with a GN going forward. Nor backing up. I would have to go over 90 degrees to threaten my cab. Ball in front of rear axle. I think you bought with emotion, not business sense. It’s fairly common. Hope you didn’t expand holes much.

Question, did you put the side brackets on the frame to the gooseneck or you just have it attach to the bed rail?
