ya i got quite a bit. ill have to send them to you on aim. trip was sweet.

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

well im in san francisco right now for a few days and word has it that i blew my power steering box up. the sector shaft has tons of play. i got a call telling me that from callen when he was over at my house when i was on the way to the bay. i thought i blew my pump up but it sounds like not which sucks because i just bought another pump. full hydro??? ill have to do some price comparisons to see the difference between chevy 1 ton tre's, TR/DL with tube inserts and getting the hydro assist setup with a new box and pitman arm. i got worked at the hammers...

[THK Matt]

full hydro isnt legal on the street
or is it in California?

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

from what i constantly read online as well as hearing from others is there is no actual written law about it being illegal. on a side note theres no way i could afford to do full hydro cause if i were to do it, id do it once. (double ended ram)

oh gotcha... i know if the PO wanted to be a richard and go over your vehicle he could rape you on it.

ya its gunna be hydro assist. im looking around at hysteer kits and there around $300-$350. then i found complete-offroads kit for $230. i noticed parts mike has 1 ton TRE's for $30 a peice. i just called a local steel place that i get metal from and 7ft of 1 1/2 OD 1/4 wall is $78. so i think i could do it significantly cheaper (little over half the cost) just piecing it. im thinking about cranes high steer arms... oh and as far as the previous owner. he wheels and just picked up my old front end off me yesterday.

[THK Matt]

man do that... piece it... as long as its just as good or better. go for it. nothing better then building it all yourself.

oh thats badass... so dana 44 or 60?

I would recommend using OEM 80 tie rod ends...they are stamped Japan 555...You can get them from Marlin, All pro or the toy dealer. Beware some of the "other companies" cheaper kits...they use "CHINA" stamped ends and look like toothpicks next to the OEMs

[THK Matt]

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

nice rig DTB. so i think i just found a line on my own 60. if this works out i wont borrow TJ's its a chevy 60 but dually. kinda lame, but for $650 ill take it.

[Ramrod]

dually is chill,      come to the tour of the lagunitas brewery with us today its gonna be sick and FREE.  Unlike sierra nevada they give you all the beer you want when you take the tour

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

id just get some single wheel hubs. im stranded here...

[lilbuddy]

just to let you know...

i THINK the law is for steering that it must still work with the motor off in order for it to be street legal.

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

hmm....       makes sense.....



whats goin on in chico? im at jens here in the bay while shes at school all day.

a properly setup hydro system WILL steer without the motor working

dont forget to ask for there 420 tour in the back...i could tell you guys so many storys about it...........

[Sluice Box Hero]

i did my full hydro for $600, but i already had histeer arms and a beef tierod.

where did you find another dully D60?

Callen

[Hyena]

run heims instead of TRE's.  a 3/4 in heim should be strong enough and cheaper to.

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

as you turn the orbital it helps pull fluid from the pump and obviously into the ram then helping it steer? explain? i can understand it  working minus the pump not spinning unless only a little under load while trying to steer the wheel creating pressure forcing the pump to spin while the trucks off. ?

damn missed that but the tour was sick anyways, got pretty hammered for free off of my favorite beers

[Hyena]

I order all my link and heim joints from Ballistic.  i am using the regular 3/4 heims on my tie rod, upper link and pan hard.  they should hold up pretty good.  i have never seen a 3/4 inch grade 8 bolt shear.  if you put in the word "pirate" you get a 5% discount also.  most companies will offer there highsteer arms with either a 3/4 inch hole for a heim or tapered for a tre.

[kiyul4130 [OP]]

did you have to re-drill your steering arms out? or did you order them like that. i see lots of them come non drilled at all and you can tell companies what you want.
