Beretta4x4 Build and BS thread (gone fishing?)

Nope. It should bolt right up, no mods that I'm tracking

 

badass! Cant wait to check this out in person at some point in the future. Will likely convince me to pull the trigger..

 

It was real easy giving them the measurements. They also said that it takes 1 business day to ship your order and about 3 days to arrive to central Texas

 

Good deal, mine would be custom as i need a shorter one for my lowered truck. Would like a 4" diameter one for a higher critical speed rating, but i have a feeling that cb bracing would get in the way

 

It might. All their driveshafts are custom. I had to give them the flange dimensions and distance from the front to the rear.

 

Thanks for all the info buddy. Do you know if you have to take it to a driveshaft shop to replace the ujoints with a double cardan setup? I feel like i remember reading that somewhere and it kinda shied me away from a one piece. Id really like to be able to service it myself whenever the time comes

 

They'll build the driveshaft for you. You just worry about your transmission and differential flanges

Today, I did a little work. First, i mounted the other pair of quick fists to my Rago bed bars. This is to hold my axe (which needs to be sharpened, btw). I also drilled through the handle (I was a little leary about drilling into my axe handle) to use a gun lock in order to secure it to my bars.

After that, I began work on my gravity-fed, spigot/faucet setup on my military surplus 5 gallon Scepter Water Can.

The first can I tried it on was very thin in the walls of the actual can. It would flex and nearly pull-out just from using the lever.


The second can was much better made. The wall thickness was equal to the base thickness, making it very rigid.

To do this mod, I set it in the swingout can holder, drilled it with a 7/16 drill bit and tapped it with a 1/4"-18 NPT tap. The reason for the 1/4" was because if I messed it up, there are still two sizes (1/2" and 3/4") available, locally, I can go up to at Lowe's for drinking water-rated valves.

I used a 1/4"-1/4" threaded, brass adapter on both sides of the valve and a 1/4"-1/4" 90° brass elbow to assemble the faucet/spigot. On the first attempt, I used this pipe thread sealant...

And it sucked. I went to clear silicone RTV on the second attempt. The problem still remained of movement and thread tightness in the can do the brass pipe threads. Using a 15mm, I tightened it (with help from my wife) as far as it could go. There was still to much movement, so I coated (heavily) the outer joint of the brass fittings, where it meets the wall of the water can.

I am now waiting for it to cure, then I can test it's water retention and functionality.
