Anyone else notice that Hillbilly didn't have the flare nuts on the line when he was showing how to flare the front brake line? Then boom, he did? :) The magic of editing!
The whole time Hillbilly was hooking up the flaring tool, I was yelling that he forgot the fitting!
Yep,,And we've all done it at least once ourselves!!
@@robnobrc In my case, it was way more than once.🙃
We all have forgot a fitting or two before we flare the tube
Hillbilly is getting really comfortable on camera. His segment was awesome! Glad to see his comfort expanding.
Came to the comment to say just that !
He is improving so much in front of the camera, this guy rocks
I agree!
Just wanted to say good job from Hillbilly, I'm sure it must of been daunting having to work and record on his own but he nailed it.
Respect to ROBBIE LAYTON HILLBILLY DINNER, DEMRY,AND LINCOLN..... THE BOYS GETTING IT DONE....YES, DEMRY IS ONE OF THE BOYS
Someone liked my comment......was that Lincoln or DEMRY? Cause robbie is sooooo busy working on people's" HAPPY LITTLE ACCIDENTS".
Dude, you obviously have not looked too close at Demri. She is definitely NOT one of the boys.
Enjoyed the Blue Steel segment where Robbie picked up his MCJ award. Way to go Robbie!!
Those wheels are looking sweet, I hope Hillbilly reconsiders his love of steel wheels. Great video guy's.
FYI: From a retired machinist, use low gear on the drill and keep the reamer wet with cutting oil/WD40/etc. for it to cut best and last.
Exactly!...just not on a pitman arm, lol.
this ^^^ 10000% I don't think Robby or Hillbilly believe in cutting oil. (and I bet they throw away drill bits too)
@@harlech2you're right but in their defense, he probably gets really nervous w/oils being slung around n splattered, as its a bodyshop. I know he's got a mech. room, but its all under the same roof along w/the threat of fisheyes. Still doesn't change the fact though I guess.
Saw the same and thought the same... as a machinist it was a cringe moment to watch the reamer and drill just getting smoked. Readers can be resharpened... so can good drill bits... but ugggh cutting oil is key.. also helps you not work harding the items... 😮😢
Would you use cutting fluid to keep it cool or an anti abrasive like WD-40 that resists cutting ? Two different chemicals with two different properties . One to promote cutting one to stop it .
25:58 I'm impressed with Hillbilly magically getting the fitting on after flaring the line. The magic of editing I presume. 😄
No mechanic has never not made that mis-take. Came he to see if I was the only one to notice.
The straight, horizontal bar going between the steering knuckles is the tie rod, and the angled bar going from the steering box to one of the knuckles is the drag link.
Hahaha...
“Tie rod” ties the two steering knuckles together
This is why your front axle is moving, the tie rod is making contact on the diff. Traditionally tie rods have angles at each end as well. I hope this helps!
There are no tie rods in that setup.
@@notsevenfeettall
They are tie rod ends.
The bar they attach to is the center link... linking the tie rod ends together.
Assembled, it is a tie rod assembly.
Looking forward to seeing the Broncstar on the rocks.
ME TOO!!!
Great editing for HILLBILLY who did an excellent job explaining the brake lines.
5:15 - Love the torch and the hole in the tarp a few seconds later 😀
Stay safe guys. Love the content!
I was hoping someone else noticed that!
You all do better in Crunch Time. Glad the boss keeps all you guys on track
Remember to listen to the Boss AKA the voice of reason she has your back. Good luck with your build.
Bronkstar is comming along I think you'll make it to EJS, great video thank's for sharing ❤😉👍
Broncstar is looking awesome!
I kinda like the bull's horn effect of the steering wheeling being 180* out. Might enhance Hillbilly's wheelin'.
😂😂😂 just noticed in the description at the end.. “thanks for watching, Daddy loves you!” 😂😂😂
The bigger the drill, the slower the speed! Love the show!
Your tubing work looks great. In spite of your normal attention to detail in your body work, I didn’t expect the lines you created on the Bronco to look so good. Really sweet!
On ford front ends they all have a track bar so front end does not move side to side when you steer, I would build one for sure. It will stress your coil overs without it!
Amazing job on crunch time ....everything fast paced....great job on cam work Boss !
It’s amazing to me, the amount of work that you and all your men get done. Man. Absolutely, Amazing.
I will take welding wire and form it to fit the tube want. Minding that you are modeling the top of the bar or the bottom then bend to match. WAD (wire aided design)
Drag link connects to your pitman arm and drags the the entire steering assembly from side to side. Tie rod ties both wheels together so both wheels turn as the drag link swings from one side to the other.
Drag link connects the steering box to the knuckle.
The track rod connects the two knuckles to each other.
You have no tie rods in that setup.
The other common way this kind of steering is set up is to have the drag link connected between the pitman arm and an idler arm. The drag link then doesn't move with the suspension. You then have tie rods connecting the drag link to each knuckle and would normally also have a track rod between the two knuckles.
Nice fabrication work. Can’t wait to see it on the trails.
Totally enjoying Robby learning to bend tubing. And WTG Cowboy videoing and working solo. We are all excited for BroncStar-dom! Great video. Even a cameo by Peanut!🌺
For internal roll cages, to get to the top of all the welds, make the verticals shorter. You can then build the cage a bit short and fully weld over the top and then lift to correct height by placing a footing under each vertical.
Yeah.. The axle's gonna shift when you steer it, way 4-link goes with the steering still coming off the chassis, check out the bump steer when you flex it too.
4-link works best with full hydro steering on-axle no doubt; panhard is to triangulate the steering and link forces stopping the axle shifting when it's setup right.
Ask Paul about it. xD
I like the idea of color matching the bumper. But if Matt likes Black. Let's see a nice mat black maybe that special tough coating which will not chip or scratch. 😊
Wishing you guys luck.. love your channel
I agree with hillbilly. I have broken to many aluminum wheels! Steel will bend and make for a shakey ride home but you don't have to walk!
Really like Hillbilly's explanations. The Bronc Star is looking good.
It seems highly likely Cody pitched in a ton if this got done.
I have a feeling that if you run with no proportioning valve your going to lock the rear tires before the fronts are engaged hard. The goal of a proportioning valve is to have front and rear lock up at the same time for best braking distance and control. Front tires have more weight above them wich means better traction when braking
I thought it was hilarious that on 5:15 to 5:20 or so you completely played off the burnt wall!
Lol when he lit the torch, my first thought was how close to the wall the press is. Indeed it might have been too close.
So wise , Thank you . Another fine trophy for the collection
One reason that front axle walks is due to no double triangulation without a track bar and the over steering also i would recommend a Toyota style box that mounts on the outside of the frame
Those rims and tires are absolutely ridiculous, and I freakin love it.
Robbie, the tube work looks so cool! Keep up the great work on the FlagShip BroncStar! And can Demri get any cuter???
Way to go Demri! Great to see you in the video.
You can weld fat tabs that come off the spindle as steering stops I have done that a few times on f150s takes about 15 mins and saves all the links on the trail
The bronxstar is really coming on well done
I use a piece of wire with all the bends in the correct orientation. I call it an antler preventer
I have a quick ratio steering box in my 66 Impala. I only have 2.5 turns of the wheel lock to lock. You'll be fine.
Yeah, I don't see a track bar to center the diff, and when using the long radius arms the differential will be walking side to side and be extremely unstable when steering. A track bar should parallel the drag link to reduce bump steer.
It Needs front TRACKBAR !
Robby, your tapered reamers& drill bits will last MUCH longer if you use cutting oil, and SLOW DOWN with the drill moter.
Any how looks pretty good so far. Good luck at EJS.
Can't wait to see the bronc star done.
Hahaha... i like at the 5:00 minute mark the wall looked good... Hillbilly doing some torching then 2 seconds later burnt wall... good times :)
Battle born gatekeepers they’re steel bead locks and outta los vegas. I got a set and love them. Also for putting the brake lines on the control arms. I think Barnes makes little tabs you can weld on to them that way you don’t have to zip ties
Put TRACKBAR on BroncoStar front axle that's why axle shifted at full steering I don't think the front links have enough triangulation so instal TRACKBAR
Yeah hillbilly is shining in this video, good job. You all are amazing.
Drag link serve as the component that links the vehicle's steering gear box to the tie rod ends and if you have an idler arm the centre link would attach there.. 😮😮😮
I have tuff coat/lineX/rhino liner on my front bumper and it is awesome. Super tough and road salt has not touched it since 2013 and 130k miles...👽
Hillbilly deserves more credit, to get on camera and have ppl say things good or bad it's tough to put yourself out there. I couldn't imagine ppl watching me in the shop, all the content is great and hillbilly, dinner, Cory, the boss their all part of this show to me...
Wing nuts !! move the gear box forward extend
It is actually called a Trackrod, as it run's from left to right of the vehicle. Where a Draglink run's from front
to back of vehicle, as you would have with twin steer Prime Mover's.
You would have a ton more room for the steering if you mount the ball joint in the end of the pitman arm facing straight out. Then insert the tapered part of the ball joint into the end of the drag link. Super compact setup. You've got adjustability at the Right end of the drag link, so there is no reason to have adjustability (and weakness and weight) on both ends of it. You can't rotate a bent drag link anyway. You could also make a new Pitman arm that has the ball joint mount to the end of it sticking straight forward instead of beneath it. Same result.
So excited to see the work to be done on Blue Steel. Color matched front bumper would look awesome!
Them are some amazing looking wheels going on that bronc star
Will a trackbar be a good solution to help with the sway of that axle? Nothing better than making a 1 of kind vehicle they are worth so much more than something you just buy.
Agree it needs TRACKBAR ! on front. The rear should be ok it has more triangulation of the links, but the front dosnt have enough triangulation .
Needs Front TRACKBAR!
Demry is awesome. She even helps you not look dorky when your ear is bent forward!😀 Robby, you said you were in hot water. I bet you’re in hot water a lot! But hey, your fun to watch! Oh, do you need a Toyota Land Cruiser? On old one?
Hillbilly is right, it’s called a drag link. The tie rod is what connects the wheels together, and the drag link is what connects the pitman arm to the knuckle.
Never fails.. race car or hot rod ... always thrashing at the end to get it done... it's like buying Christmas gifts no matter what.. it's Christmas eve and you are still scrambling to get that one or two or three or.... last gifts. But in the end it all comes together and everything basically done. It is all fun... and you have a whole year to do what you have to do for next year.... until suddenly you realize it's crunch time AGAIN !!!!
That tube works really good. It looks like you are doing this. For years !
My 1974 F-100 had a track bar that went from the frame to the axle. It was to keep it centered and stop what the Bronkstar is doing.
No bends in steering arm and pan hard! Make them as flat and parallel as possible. Great build
Hill Billy. You should of stressed. "MAKE SURE TO PUT ON FITTINGS BEFORE FLARING!"
LOL
Breaks yes,,3 most important, gas to go, brakes to stop, seat belts for when you mess up!!!!
Full hydro!!!! Great video - why was Demri mad?....spill!!
Seeing how the front end is 4 linked you should be running full hydro, you will have bad bump steer running that drag link.
Tie rod goes from knuckle to knuckle, drag link connects to pitman then to knuckle so the pitman arm can drag the tie rod ends.
My 68 chevelle and 65 Dart race cars were 1.75 lock to lock. Worked great
Try using a cutting oil or 3-in-one when using your bit on big metal. You might be amazed.
Robbie is turning into an artist with his tubing work and design.
Absolutely move the gearbox forward. Long term that's not gonna work even with assist. It will make your steering shaft angle but if you can switch to outside frame box like a full-size it will let you run a longer panhard also which is beneficial.
With that steering ratio, it's going to be really hard on the wheel, column and steering shaft. Also, it's gonna be rough.
You are good at making those pipes. Much work!
Bronc Star is coming right along!! It's gonna be awesome!!
You are all awesome- stay humble
Get some tygon tubing put one end on the Bleeder the other loop it up and dump into a bottle. this way you can bleed the system by yourself
The steering box drags the steering with the drag link. The tie rod ties the front wheels together.
Good progress guys.
Lots of work. Good progress..
Robby Layton fabrication has a good ring to it
Yes, you need brakes. Since everything is extremely accessible, do them now. @18:54... The Boss correcting the Wardrobe Malfunction! (YAY!!!) 😊😊 I think you're going to want a proportioning valve. 😉😉
Oil and drill press at slow speed will save your bits and improve the hole
Surprised you've never done tube work, the work you've done looks as good as Paul's!
Catching up on some video's been busy finding a home to buy just sending some love👊🙏😎
You should also ream at a slow rpm. If u use a battery drill make sure the hammer is not on if its a hammer drill. It chips the tool steel.
Looking good making good progress
Brakes only slow things down. Great vids! Thank you guys.
That Bronco is going to be awesome. Good work.. Hey, Whatever happened to the Model AA wrecker.? I like that one.
Rory is making that old wrecker into a off-road wrecker for Robby, but is waiting on parts for the build. he just recently said on his Channel that he's not one of those guys who puts a few parts on, then has to roll it out of the shop, wait on parts roll it back in and work on it a day, then repeat. he said he wants everything together and then do the build. he said he's going to do his best to Update the Boom and winch system, and put a new frame and drivetrain under it, but while trying to keep the cool original old look of it, without it being a unsafe deathtrap 😂Rory🍀 is the man! can't wait to see that build once it gets going
You guys need a panhartbar in the front. That will keep your steering straight 😉
Don’t you need a track bar running from the frame to the axle to prevent the axle from moving side to side?
I was there!! It was MERLIN!! Did it with his Crooked Little Magic Wand!!
Hey guys, Bronc-star is looking good. Have you thought about moving the steering box forward so you can keep the full 4 rotations on the wheel with the original pitman arm? FYI: I talked to Hillbilly at the wrecker games by the handwashing station.
Besides Cleetus and Fab Rats you are my favorite chanel
Using a bit of wire to bend into the shape that you want to form helps when figuring out your left and right orientation with the tube bending(Doesn't have to be to scale).Will save you a few head scratching moments 😊
Thanks Hillbilly for showing us how to install brake pads...it might sound silly but when you put them in at an angle and then just snapped them flat I was amazed. Sometimes the simplest things can make all the difference.
