I saw something on NIBLIKS thread that caught my eye so I will copy what he did

ANY GEUSS'S?

pghfj40 · 02-27-07, 07:48 PM

I'll guess it's your cheap/free plan to create something that will put a whole lotta torque on the longer bolts or studs you're gonna need.

Did i get it? What do I win?

People bitch about the studs as a weak link w/ double steering arms. And this is without the longer studs required for this flavor. The hardware is not just providing clamping force in this app (as they should be).

Maybe fine, maybe something to think about; figured i'd be a ballbustah either way... maybe get some action on this forum!

78Crusher · 02-28-07, 06:39 AM

Yes you got it!
I did think about the stress on the studs but the people that bitch about the studs being a week link are usually running tires that are larger than 35's and locked up front. Also the length increase is only about a 1/2 inch and of course high quallity fastners will be used.

That being said this will be a easy way of being able to steer the vehicle until funds are avalible for a 4x4 labs hi steer.

Also I think NIBLIK did this because he is in Austrailia and he has a right hand drive rig. I dont think a double arm is made for this
configuration.

Anyway thanks for the input and anything new with your rig?

Zimm · 02-28-07, 04:31 PM

lookin good so far.

78Crusher · 04-07-07, 09:38 AM

Got more done and had to push it outside

pghfj40 · 04-07-07, 09:46 AM

Drivin it to the meeting next Wednesday?

BTW--I know you're tryin to do it on the cheap, but really... twine belts? Gotta say I think it's false economy there.

78Crusher · 04-07-07, 03:48 PM

Just there to aid in finding the right ones.

OK I have been away to long
Kind of rethought the stearing I still do not think that what we came up with was bad.

78Crusher · 10-12-07, 09:30 AM

This is way better

78Crusher · 10-12-07, 09:32 AM

Zimm · 10-18-07, 02:05 PM

wow. who flipped for the 4x4 labs stuff?????

78Crusher · 10-18-07, 03:39 PM

Sure as hell wasn't me!
I talked with Eric and we decided that this was the best safest way to go but talk about getting hit right in the wallet!

pghfj40 · 10-19-07, 02:36 PM

i'm a little green... that's nice stuff!

Engineer · 10-21-07, 08:09 AM

PJ,
I have a spare, new oil cooler for the power steering, the fins are a little bent in places, but very functional.

Would you like it for Eric's no longer so wrecked 40?

78Crusher · 10-22-07, 05:59 AM

Thanks Nick!
But I already have a cooler from a wagoneer to put on.
