    You can always add a bearing and a u-joint to the shock tower to get the steering shaft around it and free up space for the coil.

    When i drill out holes after plasma cutting, I found out that using a die grinder to knock off the first layer saved so many drill bits. The plasma leaves a hardened layer which trashes drills!

    Hey man. I just wanted to let you know that your craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall skills are truly badass. I’m not a Toyota guy at all, I’m actually a Jeep guy, but I started seeing your shorts so I had to come to channel and watch and it’s incredible watching your videos. Very informative and just a joy to watch. Thanks man keep it up! You’ve got me hooked and I’ll definitely be telling my buddies about your work!

    I ran into the same issues on mine so I ended up building tube towers where the front lands in front of the steering box, that way it clears the shaft completely everywhere without having to notch the tower out 👌🏻

  • @weinowei143
    @weinowei143 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Awesome work!!! But that shock towers are hugeeeee. Lowkey wondering why not put fender and grille back on and build a tube chassis/cage inside of it and mount the shocks to tube chassis.

    Hi , hang in there , you will get there , you have done a great job on this build . there's always something to fix that's why we do it .use a little oil on your drills and they wont catch as much .

    Not to criticize anything because just the plasma table work alone is so cool. Have you seen “Wings world” videos. How they tie in their shock mounts to the cage. Those brackets work great on the rear like for a TJ. Your cage would free up so much space. Your body panels would then Use clips on the cage. You are building a hybrid. Rule number 1 is always goto what the pro racers have used. Simple, easy to fix and it works. Nothing wrong with reverse engineering for your application.

  • @GMc-0513
    @GMc-0513 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Austin, you can add a flange coupling to your steering shaft and rout the shaft through holes in the shock tower. The shock will get maximum clearance from shaft and the flange will allow disassembly while the back plate will add permanent structure. You can leave the gussets above and below the exposed steering shaft to protect it in a catastrophic shock failure.

    Recently discovered the channel and definitely enjoy watching you build. From the start, I was a bit surprised to see you fully weld your parts when you're still mocking things up. After seeing you have to do rework a few times now, I'm surprised to see that you still are fully welding, especially since you don't have all the parts in hand. Maybe there is some opportunity there? Either way, it's cool to see what you do! Thank you for the content!

    might want to put another u joint (3) in the steering shaft with a cushion block to clear the shock mount... if that makes sense, looks like you have the room. BTW, love the work your doing!

    I think it’s going to take way more than half and inch for the spring to clear that bracket. Is your brake a SWAG or home made?

  • @marcoss4563

    why not full hydro ? so you avoid all those issues with the steering and the coilover tower.

  • @pitt42075
    @pitt42075 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I always thought the jounce / bump stop on the shock was to prevent bottoming out the shock and destroying it, not to actually stop upward travel of the suspension. I think it is a last effort ot prevent shock damage. The bump stops on a truck (rubber or hydraulic) are to keep the axle from mashing into the frame and components. Ideally the shock should never use it's owm bumpstop. Think your original idea ws correct.

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In the rock crawler world, the bump stop on the shock stops the chock travel during articulation like I explained

    Could you 'gooseneck' the top of the driver-side tower to provide clearance for the coil?

  • @larrybrownlee9255
    @larrybrownlee9255 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Looks Good! You might have to put another U joint in the steering to go around the tower. I've been wondering about the lower link bar tire clearance when you turn those big tires?

    You should just leave everything taced together untill you fully get everything in so it's easier to make adjustments and what not as you work and then once everything is in then go back and fully weld and paint everything

    What about an oversized hole in strut mount to accommodate the steering shaft. Clearances would be easier to achieve without all that bracing in the way. And it would be stronger.
