Hello, Jerry. I watch your content quite often but don't comment very often even though I enjoy most of your videos. It's great to hear you're pal Tom Cat is in Remission. There's nothing better than having a furry friend. Dog cat or whatever. Hope he continues to do well. Take care.
It's nice to see tomcat kicking around. I installed a similar tie rod years ago when someone came out with one. Been working just fine ever since. Even after bouncing off a few rocks here and there.
Thanks for the details Jerry. I will be doing something similar to an ole CJ. You'll love the Food vacuum sealer. You can buy larger packs of meat and salmon from Costco and divide it into meal size packages. Keeps it from freezer burning as well. Cheers! And thanks for finally showing the front of a Princess Auto store. You Canadians always talk about it... I've just never seen one... Like a Chupacabra!
I took that same setup off the LJ and replaced it with the HD Currie steering which had a lot stronger ends. Although the Rugged Ridge setup is stronger than stock, the weakness is in the end links which wear out and break often. If you can thread the end links that you got for your custom build and use those it would be much stronger. That bent link is scary and one of the reasons I took it off, I couldn't stop looking at it and all the rocks it would hit.
Nice to see Tomcat is doing good, How you like the vacuum sealer? I’m way pass due on buying one,should’ve had one years ago! That steering setup does look beefy !! 💪🏼
Will you make a vid showing the ball joint parts and what stock vehicles use same the ball joints. Then it's easy to buy at princess auto Zone. Dally wack auto parts stores
To remove the rust you need a wire brush or walnut blaster and then treat the surface with acid, clean and neutralize it, dry it quickly, and then apply POR (paint over rust) on the outside frame. Inside frame clean it up as best you can then get the paraffin thing with the long enema hose you drag it through while it sprays in every direction.
I got the same steering with a redhead gearbox and I still have about a quarter turn on the steering adjustment bar before I can notice the gear box moving
I’m super pissed the police got two of my cars towed to impound with no warning. Now gonna cost me more money due to ignorant people. I parked my cars back in the alley years nothing stated now new people live around here my cars I put there now people complain. Now I’m loosing money. I’m ready to move out of where I am leave my house to rent out I’m sick of the nieghbors. Super sick about all this. Costing me so much then top it all off I got fines. Since I parked and blocked a street. It’s a dead end ally that people threw old weeds back there to grow over no one can make it back there. But yet fines blocking a street

Thanks for the video, Jerry.. I happy Tomcat seems to be staying strong...
Good to see tomcat! Great to hear he's doing really well. Steering looked good
Coming along nicely Jerry.
One step at a time.

I’ve been using the vacuum sealer just for the reasons you have posted it has been awesome
Stoked to hear about Tomcat!!! I was thinking about doing this on my TJ. Glad I caught this!

Anti Seize is your friend, when installing new front end parts.
That looks like a pretty nice set up Jerry..
I remember the video when you got that little toy hammer, funny
It's actually awesome
I've had this kit installed for about a year now, as well. So far, so good. How are you feeling about yours so far, Jerry?
It seems legit still using it
Any issues with bump steer or death wobble? Thanks for the informative vids!
Nothing yet but I should have my new tires and rims soon and that will be the real test
Nice to see Tomcat is doing good,
How you like the vacuum sealer? I’m way pass due on buying one,should’ve had one years ago!
That steering setup does look beefy !! 💪🏼
That vacuum sealer is the best thing since sliced bread
Have you thought about WJ knuckles and big brake conversion?
I did briefly look into it but it looked like more work than what I wanted to put in at the present time
1 tonne steering was well worth it on my XJ.
I went the cheap way. I found 98 ZJ with a V8. It's not as big as 1 tons. But bigger than what came on xj.
@@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193 yea that's what I have on my TJ now.
ZJ Steering, ZJ Sway Bar and Dakota Steering Box.
Ford 8.8" rear with Detroit locker.
Looking beefy indeed!
Will you make a vid showing the ball joint parts and what stock vehicles use same the ball joints. Then it's easy to buy at princess auto Zone. Dally wack auto parts stores
so what is your long term view i been eyeing this kit but has seen mixed reviews
It seems to be holding up and plus you can order replacement parts is nice
Hello I've been looking at heavy duty front steering from them for my yj . Pretty expensive not sure if it's really worth the exspeance ?
Can you do a ZJ steering swap on the YJ as it’s common for the TJ direct bolt in and it’s stronger
@@BackCountryWrenching ok have look into that . Any pointers ??
How do you like it so far?
Seems like it’s good
Hi what's the best stuff to use on frame rust?
Chain saw oil. Once a year.
To remove the rust you need a wire brush or walnut blaster and then treat the surface with acid, clean and neutralize it, dry it quickly, and then apply POR (paint over rust) on the outside frame. Inside frame clean it up as best you can then get the paraffin thing with the long enema hose you drag it through while it sprays in every direction.
love watching this sh!t...
thank you
where do those washers go??
I got the same steering with a redhead gearbox and I still have about a quarter turn on the steering adjustment bar before I can notice the gear box moving
The washers are for if you have a dead spot, it says in the directions you can get on line
@@BackCountryWrenching what is the opening size of the washer so I can go buy some.please and thank you
