Steel is stronger than bronze. Bronze is very weak and no auto manufacturer uses bronze. Bronze is second place and second place is the first looser!
You sir are mistaken. Some of the very largest and strongest hinge joints have bronze bushings. Not to mention machine tools pretty much have all used bronze. You opened your mouth with no experience to back it up. Plus there are very simple to understand reasons steel isn't used as a bushing very often. Definitely not for these purposes.
Ultra 4 with down syndrome
Fantastic instructional. Note to home fabricators, might wanna take out that lower ball joint if you're putting that much heat into the knuckle. Or not, i'm not the boss of you.
I'd take a 4 seater. I have kiddos that would love to ride along. Having regular 4 wheelers right now and at times having to take 1 at a time just isn't as fun.
Right on
309 is the right filler for the job. What i would of used
👍
O sht you got my welder 220ic great welder. How do you like it. They have only went up in price. Have had mine 5 years or so.
Love our Esab welders
sounds so good
So how does this work for every day drivers like for heavy diesels the Dodge 2500 all the way up to the 4500?
Looks like a bt40 tool holder
How do we eliminate the pissy lower joint?
Put this one on the bottom too?
No need to
Please explain? Wouldn’t it be best to have 2 solid bars. I know I blow out both lower and uppers every 20 thousand miles which is only about 5 months for me
Wicked
Vw guy here. This would be great for vw front ends on rails and buggys
I always keep at least 3 King Joints next to my Dana 35. Just in case it blows up. :)
Smart
I can see why mig would fail. It’s not hot enough.
Bronze is also more of a lubricative properties. Thats one of the reason you use bronze guides in cylinder heads.
Just ordered a set 🤘🏻
👊
Nothing like a savage big block 💪🏻🦅
Procharged too
So badass
if you invert the cone area, any downward stress would only increase the pressure, making it impossible to pull through.
man thats awesome they look bomb proof.
they are tough, no failures so far and they have been put thru the ringer
Отличная работа!
Do you guys think you'd ever invest in having your own casting for the knuckle? That way you could integrate the King Joint into the casting and strengthen the weak area without the need for a large weld. That could also let you integrate some grease fittings or something.
It just doesn't make sense money wise with the Super Duty Knuckles are so strong , cheap, and readily available.
Well dang. I have the old style I’m about to install and now it want these. 😮
Call the shop, might be able to work something out
This couldn’t have been any more perfect timing definitely running this in the buggy I’m currently building! Same with the 4l80 mount you guys just dropped!
Perfect!
Man I don't know which dj deletes to get for my daily driver solid axle swap 08 dmax Dyna trac, King joint or American iron off-road deletes they all are awesome and made with high-quality material, i just don't know which one's to get🤦🏿♂️
You could try different grades of bronze later for optimum wear. Or if curiosity What kind of material is the tapered pin made out of? Superduty stuff is the way to go
We experimented with bronze for a long time to find an alloy that wears slowly and is super tough. We settled on a proprietary alloy. The pin is hardened 4340
Super duty stuff is beef 🥩
Next level BEEF!
They are so beefy!
Facts
Instead of bronze you should look into Nitronic 60 for the upper socket, it has some of the best anti galling characteristics in the metal world while having material properties on par with 304ss.
Really? Thats super cool. Ill look into it (jake)
The more you know
Isn't that bronze a soft metal and over a period of time it will ware out and get play in the knuckle?
The new version accounts for that it’s called a King Joint
One day someone will make the pivot east and west instead of north and south. Somehow. Crazy the advancements in a short time with these bouncers
It really is. Innovation has changed the game in such a short time
not sure how that would work
@RyanUpchurch
bullet proof
I dont see how anyone could tear one up
i need these for a 44 or 30 i have the american iron ones but these i think would be even better
They make a great product if you want to keep camber/caster. If you want shear beef we have you covered
I agree, I would love these made for the JL 44’s
How do they get greased? Are there channels inside the bronze for dispursion?
Loosen, grease, tighten
Can your first style BJE be replaced with this new design?
At this time you could cut them out and re-weld the new ones in. We have though about making the pin screw into the old style like a conversion
Very small and weak joint, i see 😁😁🤣🤣 It's bigger than my car's CV shafts
they hold up pretty well
Very interested to see how much abuse they can take. 🔥🔥🔥
Jake has been abusing them on his with no issues.
Been beating them down for months now and not a problem with Jake behind the wheel of 800+hp.
Can i run these on my superduty tow pig? are they road safe?
There are for offroad use only
Youd lose your camber and caster settings/ability to adjust. Not worth it
No camber/caster adjustments. Although all the older trucks with kingpins are the same way. Are the strong? The strongest. But you may get uneven tire wear
make some for the rzr And I'll buy them
Plenty of companies already in that game.
@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad when you read the reviews they all suck
It's obvious Jake builds the best buggies available!!
The crew at the shop have them pretty dialed
Rad
👊
😎🇺🇸👍🇺🇸😎
👊👍
But no zerk fitting on it ?
Я сначала думал что машинка на пульте😮
So awesome to see how much you guys have accomplished and grown!!!!!! Good on yah boys
Thanks so much!!
Awesome to have Tech (Tuesday) Videos again! I’ve been watching & recommending your videos for years! 🤙🏻 Thanks for bringing it back.
Awesome! Thank you!
i have only ever used a piece of rope
That can also work
Just found your channel. Do you have a tech talk about drive trains
Not yet but that’s a good topic
Great info. I love the tech videos👊👊
I use it all the time! Your welcome
Glad you like them!
Do all pulleys use the same depth and width of the V these days?
Yes they do. Serpentine belts are all standardized
How much would something like this cost ?
over 100k, find out more at www.bustedknucklebuggies.com
Them 4 seaters are so sick.
We really dig them
