I have RPG spring perch lift installed and 37" General Grabber X3s. Yes, the increased angle on the tie rod from having to "reach down" and not straight across creates deflection and increased wear on the rack housing. The inserts reinforce the bar (sorry if I sound like a dummy) that the tie...
I got the RC delrin bushes for my steering rack. I didn't want to drop the coin on the billet, teflon coated inserts. I don't wheel that hard and haven't had any issues. I do carry 2 spare tie rods in the tool bag just in case. I believe in my heart that keeping the rod in the rack centered will...
Your post is kind of underselling the 79 that sold for that price. It's basically an Icon restomod. Blown Coyote, All new chassis and drivetrain, all the man hours spent working the body over. I'm not saying I would spend that kind of coin, but that sure is a pretty truck. The company who built...
Kind of similar setup, I have a spring perch lift with 37's and have the tie rod boogeyman under my bed as well. I have JKS tie rod sleeves and delrin inserts in both sides of my steering rack. I overland mostly but do enjoy the rocks when I can. Still have not broken a rack or tie rod yet...
Took a roadtrip to Fairplay Colorado last week. Weather was too bad for snowboarding so we just ended up snow wheeling the whole time. We did put all my shiny new recovery gear to the test pulling cars out of ditches though. Makes me want a winch in the worst kind of way. Maybe #lobooffroad can...
Why are so many functions disabled while driving? What if my passenger wants to change the address in the nav while moving? They aren't driving! Also, why does my Android Auto drop the connection every time I drive through a town? Wireless Android Auto operability is sub-optimal.
1. Steering rack that doesn't explode on contact with any stone bigger than a pebble.
2. Beefy tie-rods.
3. Axles that do not exceed critical angle when the "Lift Me Baby!" vehicle is lifted more than 1".
4. Lower shock mounts that do not hang up on every obstacle.
5. Front lower strut bolts...
I was full prepared to respond with, "Nope, just you" until I saw the rest of the psychos on this thread. I am glad the Christmas spirit is alive and well. Merry Christmas to all of you f'ers out there! :ROFLMAO:
It's a foolish issue, he didn't put a hose clamp on his steering rack boots. He got water in his steering rack as a result and if froze in cold weather.
I have MXT275s in all my vehicles. They are great for multi vehicle road trips when there is no signal between cities. We drive from Texas to Colorado a few times a year and cell coverage is spotty in NM and west Texas. A GMRS license covers the whole family so every kid gets a cheap Baofeng...
With all due respect, sir, you are a f'n nutcase. No way in H-E-Double Hockey Sticks are you getting me into an underwater cave. I dive in open water but enclosed spaces with no air freak me out.
My question is, why are the slits for the wires facing the engine versus facing the fender? If you wanted a cleaner looking wiring job, I would have faced the fender so you don't have a gaggle of wires running across the top of the box looking like an afterthought. This makes my OCD act up...
