@wheelinoutwest it's good for her. I taught both my kids to wrench and build stuff. My daughter got bored and started getting in trouble. My son stuck with it and has entirely built several Jeeps on his own and even built a Cummins truck from the ground up. It was his dream truck, so it's special to him. He's now starting to build stuff for his son, who isn't even 2 yet. Lol
Good videos. That child - can’t tell if she loves this or hates it. She’d kill a standup comic if she sat upfront. Her face doesn’t show her feelings. It’s like that when she drives too. She drives better than me, for sure
Thanks! She is definitely very focused! We have been trying to work with her on loosening up a bit, and talking with the camera more, our upcoming videos we definitely get her talking more!
Thanks! I have realized we need to do something to increase our turning radius for WEROCK, and this seemed like our best option, as selectable lockers are limited for 14 bolts. Hopefully we will see you out at Baghdad?
Please do more videos like this. If you could do a detailed gear install for a Super Duty Dana 60 axle and sterling 10.5 we would greatly appreciate it
it'll be interesting to see if the Detroit locker stays locked enough when you really need it. I only have experience with Detroit's on pickups. I like the simplicity of them but hard to beat a true locker like an ARB or Yukon Zip locker. I have ARB front and back and both need servicing (air starting to leak on both) definitely pros and cons to any set up. Great video, keep it up the good work.
Thanks! I really wanted to run a selectable locker, but options for a 14 bolt, are really limited, with ARB being the only option. For the reasons you had stated, I was afraid to give them. a try, I have been on many trips where selectable lockers started acting up, and ruined someones day. I thought the best overall value and simplicity, would be the Detroit, which will really only work on front digs, as anytime you have the driveline engaged, it will lock. I am excited to try it out this spring, and let everyone know how its going!
My ARB's are 6 years old and haven't let me down yet just started to notice air coming out my breathers on my axles so it's time for a rebuild. I like the yukon zips because they're air to turn off so they'll fail on which I've seen happen. I didn't realize Yukon doesn't make lockers for 14 bolts@@wheelinoutwest
Been a subscriber for a while now and really enjoy your content.... you've actually inspired me to sell my RZR and build my own buggy. I'm still driving the RZR while I collect parts for the build. I have a full LS 6.0 4x4 truck I bought for the powertrain. I bought axles from a 2010 superduty that I just cleaned all the brackets off. Thanks again for the content!! One small tip tho...maybe do without the background music it's a bit to loud on this one.
That’s awesome! Glad to hear your going to build a buggy! It’s so much fun and rewarding! Sounds like it’s going to be a great project! I appreciate the feedback on the video too, originally it only has music on Timelapse, but when I rewatched it, it just has some white noise in it, so I tried to add some background beats. I usually only put it at 10%, but it may have been higher somehow.
Great video as always Rob, love it. What is your thought of running the Detroit locker over having a "Lincoln" locker? As you know I have Lincoln lockers both front and back and it works great. I was thinking about changing things up and running a Detroit in the rear....thoughts/opinions?? Thanks.
Thanks Mike! What your stating is basically what we are doing, going from Lincoln lockers to a rear Detroit. I am excited to get it out to trails, and try it out. The biggest difference I can think of, is making front digs much more effective, and not having to drag the outside rear tire, instead that tire and spin freely, this will really help us in the comps.
@@wheelinoutwest ....Your reasoning from going from Lincoln to Detroit and having more wheel spin is exactly what I was thinking. Another advantage is when we are on a harder surfaces, asphalt, concrete, etc and trying to turn, the rear axles don't get in a bind and chirp and skip.....that's annoying. Lol...
Hey man I love you videos and love that you and your daughter wheeling together. I’m looking to get into more rock, crawling with my son and daughter. We just picked up a set of super duty 1 ton axles that we would like to put in a jeep Comanche. The question I’d ask you is what is a good way to get started building the Comanche? We are definitely on a budget and don’t really know where to start. Do you have any suggestions on where to find good used parts or any suggestions?
Thanks for the feedback! I think Comanches are awesome, and always wanted to get one myself! From what I know about them, they are very similar to an XJ, but I think you are on the right track with starting with one tons from the start. It just seems in the long run, its the best bang for your buck! To be honest, I find most of my parts from Facebook marketplace, and craigslist. I just search around every evening and look for parts I need. Depending on the year of super duty, you may need to upgrade wheel bearings on the 99-04, to run 35 spine outer axles, and depending on how you set up your steering, can depend on how you want to set up the knuckles. The good thing is, the superduty is the best bang for your buck axle around. As far as suspension, you could get away with a decent bolt on kit for awhile, or just start building your own link system right off the bat. For winches, there are a ton of reasonably priced winches these days, from smittybuilt to bad lands, you can save a bunch of money on those. I used smitty built on both buggy, and they have worked great!
@@wheelinoutwest thanks pal. We are excited to start working on it. We have 2005 super duties axles. We going to start as simply as possible and try evolve with time. I’m looking to find a good transfer case for it. Do you have any recommendations?
I wish I had one of those vacuum set ups to bleed my brakes. Hell of a lot better than my hand pump. FYI, you will never get out the air bubble from the cutting brakes unless the body is completely flat. Because your your cutting break is at such an angle, an air bubble is trapped at the top, and can never come out even with your vacuum set up. It took me a couple years to learn that.
Please keep the maintenance and upgrade videos coming. They’re interesting and informative.
Thanks for the feedback! That’s what we’re looking for! Next week we are introducing a new project! So there will lots of new shop videos coming!
Thank you for sharing. Good work and educational.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! We appreciate the feedback!
Rob, I gotta tell you... it us so hard sitting here watching Emily do all that work!😅 Great video!
I know right?Lol, I could get used to this! But, we will be seeing a lot more of Emily helping out in the garage in the future!

@@jdshaw2751 That great, you never know if they will stick with it!

@@wheelinoutwest Yes. We should be in Baghdad
Super cool video!! I'm am currently setting up cutting brakes on my build, just need to bleed them! Keep the garage content coming good stuff!
Thanks! You will love the cutting brakes! Wish I had done them a long time ago!
Good job Emily, I work in aerospace for years and the women were the best engineers and assemblers. Unlike the boys, the girls don't cut corners.
Thanks! We are getting her more involved in shop projects! As she will be starting her own project soon!
Please do more videos like this. If you could do a detailed gear install for a Super Duty Dana 60 axle and sterling 10.5 we would greatly appreciate it
Wow! I am impressed. Keep up the great job! You both make the perfect daughter-father team. Life goals right here.
Thanks! My goal is to get both of the girls in the garage building stuff! It will take awhile, but we will get there!

Where are y’all from. I’m here in Idaho
We are located in western Colorado! Right in the middle of the best wheeling in Colorado!
Awesome! I need to do the same thing! Welded rear definitely hurts the turning radius!
Agreed! I never cared it hurt steering on the trails much, but now we are trying to compete, it really hurts.

That’s good to know, I was thinking about that, looking at that, can see how air would get trapped, gonna try it, thanks!
