    As for road conditions,
    We have the most perfect as long as you love big potholes.
    We also have some of the best sloppy road repair.
    We don't have to go off-roading we just drive all over all the bumps in the road.
    But seriously, most of them are really bad roads.

    Love your channel and the quality that you guys put into your builds. With that said I've commented a couple time giving Matt heck for not wearing any eye protection while grinding, cutting and drilling. I have done metal fab work starting in the 60's, I've had cutoff wheels explore, drill bits shatter and send pieces everywhere, I've had a wire off a wire wheel stuck in my left eye lid have worn eye protection ever since. You only have one set of eyes protect them.

    I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area... our roads are okay. They damn well should be, considering all the taxes we pay!
    It's the other drivers who are the problem. Way too many of them! There are two speeds: 10 mph over the posted speed limit when traffic allows (one car length between vehicles) or creeping along so slow the speedometer doesn't reguster in bumper-to-bumper traffic jams.
    Ever see a woman putting on eyeshadow using the mirror in the sun visor while she's driving at 70 mph? Or a guy eating cereal from a bowl with a spoon?
    It was here that I learned what a nanosecond was... that's the time between when a stop light turns green and the guy behind you honks his horn.
    A friend I worked with lived in Santa Cruz and commuted to N. San Jose five days a week for 35 years. That's 10 miles of 6 to 8 lane per side of divided freeway followed by 12 or 15 miles of two lane, twisty, windy mountain roads that the daily commuters drive at 70 mph and are only ever slowed by the occasional freaked out tourist who makes the potentially fatal mistake of driving there during commute hours. He broke the steering wheel of every car he ever owned and had carpal tunnel surgery on both arms, twice!
    I thankfully no longer commute and can avoid the peak traffic hours.

    Always a good informative show. Up here in the state of taxes , NY, many of the roads were cement. When they widened them it always pulls apart on the seam. The rest is just band aids on top of each other.

    I would never question your knowledge or quality of work. You all are some of the best in your profession I have seen. You have put an amazing amount of thought into your build. I am wondering, though, if your front tires will hit the front frame rails when the front is aligned. It looks like it has a lot of toe out. Im sure you already know it won't hit, but if it was me and my luck, it would once I had it toed in, lol.

    • @chadsfab
      @chadsfab  Před 5 měsíci +1

      The tires will rub the radius arms but will easily clear the frame rails. I will get the toe set once I build the actual tie rod and drag link.
