    I feel your pain, Rudy. It's tough to film, edit, and upload videos without a crew - especially repairing, building or modifying something. It takes at least four times longer. Most viewers are unaware how much work and time creating videos alone takes. Keep up the good work - you will have a crew in the future - have faith!

    Rudy is the first person in a very, very long time, that I have seen actually pour oil correctly. They're made to not "glug" but, you have to turn the bottle around. Kinda like pouring backwards, but it stops the glugging. Most folks just dump it. Kudos, Rudy. You had a good teacher 😁
    Edit: Super cool to hear the Rudicon run, without the power steering pump whining! You can actually hear the motor now!! Bravo Rudy!!!

    If all the connections are the same. Except for 90 or straight. Make a spare hose as long as the longest with straight ends. Buy 2 90's that will adapt into it. Double bag them. Then put it in the emergency spares. It ca. Then go anywhere in the system.

    I use to work for Cat, and one Sunday at 1:AM, I had to go to a small gold mine and look at a 992 to check a noise. I determined the the rear gear train for the 3412 engine was badly damaged. They needed it out of the pit, so I pulled all 4 sun gears off the axles and had another 992 tow me out of the pit. We called your orbital valve a HMU. ( Hand Metering Unit) With the engine off, I could make small steering changes just by turning the HMU with the steering wheel. I had to make two 180 degree turns coming out of the pit, and to do that I had to start the engine, but it only took 5 seconds. The HMU is in fact an oil pump, so as long as you are moving I believe that you will be able to steer the Rudycon with the engine off. It should not hurt it. I did not hurt that 992, and that is a very large loader.

    Pretty exciting stuff. I'm happy for you. I think you're going to see a lot of improvement both offroad and on road. Not sure how that sort of a system is with feedback, but it's a Jeep not a racecar, so who cares. It's good to see the half dun git more dun. You're video's are getting more interesting. I liked that you showed how that system worked. It was interesting. It seems like it should be more powerful, and of course turn further, but not pushing your body around and wasting energy and handling is going to be HUGE I bet. You're gonna have fun on that test drive. Just be careful, you can fix minor flaws that occur during testing as long as you test in increments, and not go hog wild right off the bat. That install seems like a pretty much done deal tho. What's next on the list? Databyter

    • @Bobbywolf64
      @Bobbywolf64 Před rokem +3

      I wonder about turning the wheel while your tires are jammed up. If your tires are sunk into some deep ruts, normally you just can't turn the wheel. With this, does it just destroy itself by moving the ram anyways? Or is there something that bypasses or limits the force? I'm just not familiar with hydro steering. Hopefully it works out great.

    • @Databyter
      @Databyter Před rokem +1

      @@Bobbywolf64 Well that is one of the things I was wondering about with feedback. I think you could still feel the resistance of an obstacle well enough to exercise care. And hopefully, as you say, there is some sort of a pressure relieve valve, even if it is not adjustable or reuseable, but ideally it would be both.I do think there would be enough feedback to tell that you were going against a lot of pressure. Hydraulic systems are usually designed to be JUST strong enough to do what they need to do for this reason. You would never want to put a 20 ton hydraulic Piston on a 10 ton Lift for instance.

    Hydraulic steering has the self pumping ability with the engine off, the same as on certain tractors and forklifts. They share several key items. I built a tractor that had hydraulic steering, and it worked quite well and it was about the only option since the engine would have been in the way of a steering box on the front.

    I just realized, this kit is basically a front facing steering rack! Would be neat to have it in the rear somehow so it's protected, like on a normal car. Would require flipping the entire hub around somehow, probably a whole new part, but I have seen crazier things done. Then you have to get around the axle somehow... Lots to work out but would be interesting to see done on a solid axle.
