What an absolute feat of engineering by you and all of the boys who helped out. The skills of all the cutting, welding and re-engineering of all the parts is second to none. You must be one happy camper of how the build is coming together. Can't wait for the 44inch subs to in the tray. LOL😂

Have to say boys, one of the best ep's I've seen. Keep up the great work, keep up the detail and why's. (K the explaination on steering bars and coil tower install, took some referencing after, but learnt alot from it). Keep up the good work. When you guys get to "setting shock valving" can you give us a "how to select how to pick correct shimming/valving" really struggling to find someone who can offer time to explain and actually knows what thier on about Keen to see this thing for real.

@@riverratt8626 Gearing should be determined by tire size and keeping engine in peak operating RPM range. It has nothing to do with Gas vs Diesel.

I'm not sure about the actual ratios but the cummins 5.9 and 6.7 love to sit on around 1500 at highway speeds. I guess you could work it out backwards from there to find ratios? I did also wonder why you didnt triangulate the front links instead of panhard, but i guess the deep cummins sump will bugger that idea lol. Loving the series guys, keep it up. Cheers
