its in butte county, by chico. it aint quite as bad as we make it seem, its just fun to make fun of our home town. (and there is a load of tweekers)
I love going in the Walmart there! You see the weirdest people you would ever see there. haha
Well my hydro assist boxes came in today. I opened the boxes to see the new ram, pump, reservoir, cooler, brackets, belt, hoses etc. I normally would be anxious to get started, but after doing a little more research on Volcom's thread, I'm not so sure.

Things should slow down in the office to get started soon.
Jim Nothing in there that can't be fixed. I know a guy.Wayne
Remember to use syn. power steering fluid with that pump. I'm using Valvoline Syn power fluid with my stock pump and box. No leaks yet.
Nice! You'll love actually being able to turn your tires! The one-handed steering in everything except the big rocks is very nice. Remember to use syn. power steering fluid with that pump. I'm using Valvoline Syn power fluid with my stock pump and box. No leaks yet.
I use the valvoline too..good stuff....Quit stressin man! I got the same setup! It's daunting at first but dont be skeered! the results are worth it 10x
shoyrtt, you have 39's and 5.29's? if you do how is it power wise on the street?
I does OK on the street, but I wouldn't consider it a daily driver. Fifth gear is now unusable and any decent sized grade it struggles. Around town and 0 to 55 mph isn't bad.
Thats mine on 38s too haha.I had a chance this past week to wheel it with the hydro. very very nice. awesome in the rocks!oh and fyi the psc recommends NON synthetic power steering fluid ONLY. no atf, no mercon etc. I dont know what TG recommends for their pump.
Rockyot:Any pics from your trip? What have you done to beef up your knuckle studs etc with your steering set up? I picked up a set of the ARP studs and Longfield's 5th stud kit (basically a small tab and a grade 8 bolt) to install at the time I do the hydro. I broke the stock studs with my 35s once. I can't imagine trying to drag my rig off the trail with 39s and broken steering. BTW: TG recommends Valvoline synthetic.
LOCKTUP SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN DISCOVERY CHANNEL SHOW!!
nothing as of yet for steering mods. I was kinda unsure of time of building if it was really worth the money to get the arp studs etc. With talking with my friends that run toy axles(mostly sami/buggy rigs) the overall vote was no. however with a little heaver rig and bigger tires I might be pushing the limit. I drive smart(ie not a throttle junkie) so Im a little easier on the drivetrain than most. I do however run 30spline longs. also with the hydro its not talking as much effort to crank the wheel, the natural stabilizer affect from the ram is nice too, keeps from those thumb ripping steering wheel spins.trip pics are here. http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/17107/61692
