    Seriously impressive young man! Innovative, skilled and talented. Even more, he has good communication skills and comes across as patient and kind. Most importantly, he appears to be a loving, family-centered man. He strikes me, if I were guessing, to be a devoted Christian. Anyway, that’s my impression. Awesome channel!!! 👍🏼

    This video was great. I've always wondered if dropping the dif was super challenging thing but you clearly showed how you did it and it was easy enough. That and the slot to fix the camber angle is simple and brilliant.

    your attention to detail is amazing. Great looking build so far! I have a 96 mitsubishi minicab and my camber is opposite what yours was. positive as heck. The setup on the minicab is different also in the front suspention. The only way I can see getting it back to zero is to actually pull off the LCA and weld some square tubing to extend the LCA longer and drill out a new mounting hole.
    It got cold and crappy out and I dont have a heated garage and the minicab is my winter truck so it will just have to do for now until the weather breaks this spring.

    hey there! watched your mini series.... i did something similar for the front end on my 05 Carry. (power steering) I added 1 1/2" blocks and the driveshaft is fine. I have run into steering issues. was there anything you ran into in relation to the steering....? I understand you do not have power steering. I replaced the springs, added the 2" tower blocks and then added the 1.5" spacer blocks on the cross member on the front end. Thanks for the content!!

    Austin, are you saying the lift arms are too long because you are trying to put the lift arm PADS on your vehicle lift points? Your lift is safe to put the OUTER steel arm on the lift points. Won't hurt a thing. The arms hold the inner sleeve of the lift arm and do all the lifting anyway it's safe to use just the outer arm to lift your vehicle is what I am trying to say.

    • @randallthomas5207
      @randallthomas5207 2 роки тому +1

      Are you sure you need more power, and not just more gear? My 89 Big Bronco, with the 351, had 2.9# somethings in it. ford was trying to get better fleet economy for the trucks, and since most folks didn’t haul much, or pull heavy loads in the big Broncos they shipped with 2.9#, and 3.1# something gears in eh differentials. My engine was making decent power, but the truck would coast down 4% grades at 45-mph in first gear with no throttle. The 3.7 gear sets made a huge difference in how much power it felt like it had.
