    Good on you for bringing your partner in and that she is keen on participating with you. She will be a great asset to your team if she chooses to get more involved with the fabrication. The more practice the better women quite often have steadier hands so can make really beautiful even welds easier. Plus if you two work together you'll be able to get through more projects. Looking forward to more videos with both of you working together.

    I'm looking forward to the finished steering. I'm curious how it'll perform!
    A little feedback: a lot of the camera action is a bit shaky (which is normal for the way you're filming). If your camera (a GoPro I guess) has image stabilization, try enabling that for a smoother picture.

    Great video! Great setup. With hydro steering I've never understood why folks don't relocate the steering line higher than the axle to reduce it's vulnerability. It's nice seeing more family. I liked the welded in holy matrimony statement.

  • @dirtbillydeluxe
    @dirtbillydeluxe Před rokem +1

    Hey there! I have seen a lot of these rams come loose! I know they only come with 2 clamps, but you get another set for cheap. Adding more clamps definitely helps! I was super fortunate to get to go wheeling with you at Trail Hero! I had the Blazer thing. I super hope we get to wheel at the upcoming winter jamboree !!!

  • @Bigdaddyslasher
    @Bigdaddyslasher Před rokem +16

    If you're worried about hitting the rocks, put that ram on the back of your axle. I wheel with many guys who run their rams on the back side of the axle on their buggys.

      @gwood69 Před rokem +2

      Lord forbid if you have to put it in reverse 😂 it’s a good concept. I can see it working. But I don’t know just seems different like have a rock mounted to the back of your axle. I’m no scientist but probably easier with forward momentum than backwards. Interesting none the less. I have yet to see it in person let alone on a video

    Hey @Rudys Adventure and Design. I'll split hairs. Draglink goes between the Steering Pitman Arm and the right knuckle. Tie rod connects right knuckle to the left knuckle. It's all good. It don't matter what you call the parts as long as they all work together.
