Yeah I have the same problem. I barely have steering when aired up and at a stop. Aired down I can not steer, especially on the rocks. It is extremely annoying.

 

Working with so many Jeeps on 40" tires and hydraulic assist has got me thinking. They can turn the wheel aired down with 1 finger. Obviously a solid axle is totally different, but I'd like to do more research on it for IFS rack and pinion.

 

I'm sure there's some sort of possibility

 

i think as soon as you do hydro assist your going to start tearing balljoints apart and bending the tierods. going to have to upgrade those for sure. and hopefully the seals on the steering rack can handle the extra pressure.

 

Full hydro

I don't run balljoints

 

Thought you need a mechanical link to the rack to keep it street legal in canada. Would be cool if you could stuff a howe steering rack in the stock location though.

 

If that is a law, who the hell is gonna catch you here? No one, unless there's a problem, and someone notices. But I'd sure like to be able to steer.

But with hydro, doesn't it also take away any steering feedback? Which would be nice to have, especially with ifs, where shit is weak like you mentioned. If only we could get more push from the factory rack.

 

Being lifted on 315's and no mud flaps and my tires sticking out past the fenders im surprised I haven't been pulled over and given a v.i. notice lol.

To a point I think it does dull the feel but thats a compromise you might have to live with. You might be able to get more push by opening up the factory pump a bit. I know nwitaco was going to try it with his stock pump.

 

Full hydro steering is illegal in California, and I'm pretty sure throughout the US. I wouldn't mind upgrading joints and tie rods to have hydro assist.

 

The only thing you can do is increasing the pressure from the pump or go full hydro with a howe rack. And I would be scared of blowing the seal out of the stock rack with a stronger pump.

 

Fawk ya!!!!

 

Same lil hit as Anthony's ^^^ just not as gnar as his beast

 

I see a lot of Dunes pics from you two. Is it because its the closest thing to you guys or do you like the sand better then dirt? I'm from AZ so idk how far things are in cali.

 

its the closest thing to them (at least anthony). Not much stuff to "pre-run". its more 4x4 friendly up here i think.

 

I'm over the dunes but that's where everyone goes and it's only about an hour away.


Dezert is like 4 hours away ):

 

lol me too.. and im only 10 minutes away.



sucks cause desert day trips can be more driving on the freeway then actually playing

 

Dunes are so gnarly, they dont even race there

 

i have always throught about them having a desert race through glamis or something. shit would be intense.

im so happy i live within 20 minutes of 100s of miles of desert and badassness!

 

You guys should come down for the Superstition meet on the 17-19. Anthony is coming down.
