Bomb proof type shit. I'm very close to hydro steering. The cross steer Denny made is the shit but the leverage action from the box is tearing the tires up. It's the turning left (pulling the passenger tire) that sucks.

It's awesome, nothing like being able to steer off a rock ledge with one finger onthe steering wheel

I'd be worried about the steering knuckles on a rover being able to handle the ram...


But I'm sure Garett and Justin can tell us about being able to handle a ram

I have a front housing a out to swap in, out boarded the front shocks and trussed it. Welding on lower shock mounts. I'm going to send the knuckles (from the current front on the truck) to ballistic to see if they can thru bolt the lower drag link mount up top. I think a double shear set up may work....but there is absolutely no meat up top to stud an arm.

The hydro steer with 36+ tires would be very nice.

the Artec ram mount is really the only one I found that had incorporated protection, a truss and ram mount into one piece...


part of that sounds like a Garett dream date...protection, a truss and ram mount

I meet Jeff from Ballistic when he was still in a horse barn in 2007, Nate was working with him back then and he now works for Artec...I have the best of both worlds...I agree with ya on the BF brackets, they don't cut the logo into their shit anymore and really have the best price goin' for DYI brackets and what not...
