    Also working on a new tie rod set up. Using camburg clevis ends for the rack side, I used 3/4 heim adapted to 1.25x.120 wall Dom tube to another tube adapter and fj80 tie rod end. Of course there is a different taper between the two ball joints. To fix that my dad and I milled the spindle out to .850 and I'm going to have a machine shop make a bushing that will press into spindle and match the new taper.

    So update on the steering. It's basically finished and waiting to go together this weekend.
    20180913_191636.jpg
    Had the shims made today and came home to install them. Here is the ball joint fully seated.
    20180913_192519.jpg 20180913_192523.jpg
    Then I decided since the spindle was off might as well add some more gussets!
    20180913_202727.jpg
    Do I'll show finished product this weekend.

    If anyone is interested in this setup I can give you links to parts as well as other options instead of fj80 tie rod ends.

    Suppose someone were to hypothetically give you a set of spindles and a set of gussets and you were to hypothetically weld them. What would you hypothetically charge for such a service?



    Also obligatory this thread blows

    Make sure you film every time you're using that compressor.
