Angling your rod ends inwards at the correct angle (as mentioned at the 12 minute mark) gives more of a 1:1 steering ratio.
As an example, I ride my ends on the 2nd hole back of my high steer arms.
Yet another great vid Matt.
the amount of skill and problem solving is incredible, I love watching your videos even though there is no way I could do any of that lol
nice work...you remind me of me lol....we are the types that enjoy doing the (hard) projects almost more than we do driving the finished project....I spent 4 years building a street rod from scratch, including the frame, front inboard horizontal coil-over suspension and the 4 link rear, the complete body and removable top and interior...geesh! I must be nuts lol...it won many awards including best of show.....not bragging at all....just sayin most people would not attempt so much work but people like you and me enjoy it lol....nice to see others using their brains and common sense

I love the ingenuity of the fab. I would love to see what a mill would do to your shop.
You got lots of knowledge and lots of tools. And you are using all of it with amazing skills. One suggestion I have.
Invest on knowledge and equipment for stamping and heat treating metal. A simple strong bracket will be more effective some times.
Outstanding video as always
one of the best subscriptions i found.thank you keep up the great work.thanks
Matt I've been watching you since day one and I'll say your showing off some fab skills in this video
he should have made a custom mount to show off his fab skills.
Trying to learn as I go, I enjoy welding and dabbing way more than motor and diagnostic work!
*fabbing
Awesome work man you are building some great stuff.
Thanks
You got some mad skill Man!
Thanks
Just some info when grinding Aluminum, apply some grease to both, the Aluminum and the soft wheel disc.
This keeps the material from gumming up the disc.
Generally a 36 grit soft wheel works best.
The best way to work with aluminium is to cut it with a saw. Only grind the last few mikrometers. This work really well
A square peg into a round hole sounds just like my life! 👍🏻😂
Wow that’s amazing 😉 👍🏼
Was heating required to weld to the Ox diff cover? I am wanting to do hydro assist tabs, and I'm curious if heating will be required.
He’s like bob ross but with Jeeps. “I’m just gonna make this happy little line right here. Gonna give this diff cover a happy little cut right here”
Are you going to horizontally gusset the side that is welded up to the axle tube/ truss?
I was but not sure if I'll need it??
How's a ring gear fit with that block welded in there? Curious how you check for clearance without a ring gear?
Hey matt,
How have you found the ox locker? I have currently got a rubicon locker in the front of my jk and a 35 spline arb in the rear. The front locker is playing up and the rear locker is leaking yet again and im over it. Was thinking about giving the ox a try just havent seen too many reviews on them
what kinda torch is that ? propane ? , my set up is on a toyota so its a little different , my ram is a bit different than yours , 6 inch stroke and no groves on the cylinder body for the clamps but it is from PSC
For that hole in the truss did you ever try putting a smaller hole saw to match the existing hole to guild the bigger hole your cutting
damn....that's a lot a work!
My God, you need a mill.
Care needs to be taken when changing shape of diff. inside shape of stock covers are designed to feed gear lube smoothly and not aerate. If lube does not flow well will decrease amount lube going to pinion bearing and fluid with air in it does not dissipate heat as well. Those cool looking squared off aluminum covers with fins I see on many rears are poorly designed.
Isn't the TJ D44 a low pinion and quite a bit weaker than HP 44s? Are you sure that axle is up to what you're going to be putting it through?
Guess we will find out!
Are you going to sell the double shear mounts?
Hey Matt! Was wanting some more steering power out of my f250 powerstroke, are these things good on a daily driver?
+OrygunChainsawMassacre no you'll want a hydro assist. Full hydro is illegal on the road and kinda scary!
Do you have a die grinder to get into those small places? Nice work, interesting project.
Yes I do
Absolutely awesome! But how would you change gear oil or do any differential work without having to remove the entire ram set up?
You won't, but there was no other solution... 4 bolts and it comes off in a few minutes though.
+BleepinJeep Very much appreciate the reply! Keep on doing amazing work really excited to see how this project turns out!
Sweet vid, all that $$$ upgrade them innerCs amigo
would you recommend the OX locker? Ive heard its horrible. i would like your opinion. btw love the videos man
I always liked it... Had a few problems with the first gen but that was 14 years ago or so. They seem to have it down now.
awesome. you are very quick with figuring out custom brackets. sweet steering setup, hey what front suspension are you going to be building. 4 link? 3 link? radius? you might have already mentioned it but i don't remember
Good shit and always happy to see your new vids
If I remember right, in a previous video he said 4 link.
without panhard?
can't wait to see that build. im right at the point where im designing a front 3 link and crossmember ..
Yes, double triangulated 4 link.
Awesome. Can't wait to see how you package it !
What about doing a full hidro with single end ram? Would it work
Yep, it does.
Did you weld the truss with the axles still installed?
+KingsDisasterGarage I don't remember but there is a video of me welding it all up on here somewhere.
Never weld next to a ram. The weld spatter can damage the rod which will rip the seals to bits.
Why not mount that piece to the bottom of the ram, instead of the top, and use it like a skid plate to protect the ram? Looks good what you did though :)
My tractor has a steering ram like that.
welding your ram to sheet metal and a cast diff cover. have fun with that.
why didn't you just make a bracket that welds/mounts to the top truss and the axle??? U never want to put such stress on a cover anything cast like that could crack with all that force on it, You could make a beefy C shape or U Shape very shallow that would bold/weld to each side of the tubes and truss that you can take off. just a thought... keep it up
Sanding aluminum and steel using the same belt or disc sander is not necessarily the smartest idea. Aluminum powder or grinding swarf is potentially dangerous if it is mixed with iron or steel grinding wastes and is wet. These are the basic ingredients of a thermite bomb, and there is a very real risk of a fire due to the reaction between the aluminum and the iron.
+Nick Gross I sincerely doubt that the temperatures will get hot enough to ignite the supposed thermite, and couple that with the fact that the ratios will likely be far off from what the reaction requires I think he'll be okay.
Just something to keep in mind.
so my gas gauge on my jeep keeps bouncing around so it's confusing knowing how much gas I got left, it specially bounce when I give a big turn. Does anybody know what it can be? Sensor maybe
Sending unit, maybe. Yknow, the lil doodad in yer tank what fer slurpin' up fuel and sending it to the engine.
If you drop your fuel tank and disconnect all the fuel lines to it, there's an assembly that screws into the top. This assembly should have an inline fuel filter, a tube that sucks up the gas into the lines, and a float that shows fuel level. (like a carburetor, toilet, or swamp cooler) This float may be rusted, loose, or have a hole in it, allowing it to fill with gasoline, which would prevent it from floating and give you erratic readings.
What size tires you plan on running?
+Tikibarber21sc Because im getting many ideas from you to beef up my 44s with truss and sleeves also axle shafts keep up the good work it helps me and many others
+Tikibarber21sc 40"s
I forget who has that IX diff cover??
I think for safety reasons unless the vehicle is only driven off road then you should have a mechanical steering linkage aswell as hydraulic.
yep, its the law as well^
BleepinJeep can you cite the law?
if you put wax on your sanding disk, even candle wax it will keep it from gumming up you disk
Good tip thanks
Why not just use ur powder steering ?
contour gauge 18:25
Step one: grab 50 tools everyone wishes they had.
Large ships use this type of steering
Full hydro legal for street use?
No
+BleepinJeep why not??
+joe smith Full Hydro has no backup plan or hard link to the wheels in case of a hydraulic failure... meaning if you were going down the highway and a hose busted you would have no steering control. You might get by with hydro assist which keeps the stock steering but just adds a single ended ram to help it along. See my upcoming video on this topic.
+BleepinJeep Adam Savage had the pitman arm get loose on his land cruiser while driving on a freeway...quess the nut keeping it on was a tiny bit loose and it destroyed the axle coming out of the steering box. you can never have too much redundancy on your steering :). full hydro basically has no redundancy in a case of failure.
i thought you got a plasma cutter bro is that metal to thick?
Maybe but you forgot what I said in the update videos... Most of the videos are made months previously, that's the reason for the update videos.
+BleepinJeep oh yeah brain fart I'm carving a Bleepinjeep tree hugger pumpkin bro I'll send yeah a pic of it on my war horse of an xj lol!!!
Awesome! Looking forward to it.
Жалко такую крышку резать)
Wax your discs matt. They will last infinitely longer
Why all the work to basically a Dana 30
I like it
