agreed, and its not very expensive, and they will handle wayyy more pressure

Wrong, in this application reusable fittings or crimp on fittings are ok , you misspend what he said that he had the hose at too great of an angle and the fitting type makes no difference , all hydraulic lines don't handle sharp bends or angles well, when you talk hydraulic applications higher volume and PSI then crimp on is stronger than reusable, I have been able to get people back on the road in shorter time periods if their power steering has reusable ends, then its a new piece of hose $20 and a quart of fluid, so under $100 ,40 yrs in the industry and they're still good 👍

@@99unclebob agreed 👍

But this isn’t “power steering” is it? Isn’t it fully hydraulic, no steering box or rack?

Both are correct. Time and budget often make ideal, harder than the fun is worth.

Or "Morr than 1/2 Dun"

Yeah Rudy has to keep a positive attitude cuz Andy always seems to be negative lol. I guess some may call Andy realistic and Rudy optimistic. But sure are making leaps on the Jeep and the channel great work

@@jdgvee9313 Or " > 1/2 Dun"

I was just getting ready to write that!

@@jdgvee9313 this

Another cool point to it is that Rudy himself is setting the drone up. It has a pretty good "follow me" feature on it.

The drone shot almost looks like watching video game. ;)

The fuel problem ... it's a family thing

I don’t about Andy having a dry sense of humour but more of a pessimist personality maybe 😂

He's the reality check, we all need an Andy by our sides telling us we've messed up haha

yes his glass is always half empty never half full lol

It means your Jeep sucks. 😂😂. Awesome response.

@@helenlegallais4208 almost feels like Andy doesn’t want to be there but there mom wants them together and Rudy is all for it😂

And even then you have the me hanical(hopefully) parking/ e-brake

I would NOT put my hopes in the last sentence you've made. Although you may not instantly lose all your brakes if 1 line goes. but you can and likely still will lose brakes very quickly especially if you use the peddle a couple times and empty the reservoir through the broken line. The auxiliary/parking brake hopefully still works (but that's a separate system you could add to the steering too for the same redudancy)

not at all, the subscribers are paying for the fluid

Re: DOT and on road I was wondering this also. That is my understanding as well, that fully hydraulic is not road legal. I was building a street truck 30 years ago and was going to go fully hydraulic to beat the inherent steering fab problems after lowering the truck. Like the Rudicon it was going to be slick and clean. I thought "cool why didn't I think of this earlier." Until as an afterthought I decided to check with my insurance company who did not mind insuring street rods. They disliked the idea so much that they threatened to cancel me. They said under no circumstance would they insure the truck or would they pay any claim related to damage if I went ahead and installed it anyway. Sort of the same as street racing and wrecking your ride and another vehicle as well as injuring yourself or someone else. They would just tell me to go fish as it were. SO I never did it. However it is nice to see Rudy is trying it. Seems to work like I envisioned it... Nice

@Meagan Christie I figured that and it kinda makes sense, God forbid you ( On Road ) lose your steering, that's one of the scariest things that can happen while driving, especially here in the NYC/Long Island area, terrifying actually! But if it's a trailer queen, then no problem, I personally like a tight positive feel for my steering, so I have 3/4 heim joints and a PSC hydraulic 8" ram and I have no slop in my 03 Tacoma S.A.Swap, I also like redundancy, I've already broken stuff and still made the few hundred miles back home, I would love to have a trailer, but I also love driving my vehicle on road as well, I've never driven a full hydraulic setup, but I can imagine it's not as responsive as a linked steering setup, my truck ( Check it out on my KZfaq channel ) with the ram assist, is tight! And I have a converted from crappie IFS to Solid Axle Tacoma, so it's completely redesigned, and works perfectly! I love my mini truck 🛻 monster! And she's DOT compliant, I've been let go by a few insurance companies, so I can't play any games, I'm sure Rudy is daily driving this XJ, so for just offroad, then it's a great setup, I just personally rather have the on road option, great talking to ya , nice to get a positive response to my comments, it's not always like that TY

ur correct that full hydro is not legal for use on road the code specificly states that there must be a physical mechanical means of steering at all times just for the reason that happened in the video if you lose your fluid you know longer have any steering.

@John Wasson That's what I'm running, linked steering with Hydraulic Ram assist, even if it was street legal, I would be a nervous that there's nothing really connected besides the Hydraulic lines

That looks like the Parker field serviceable hoses, they should easily handle 3,000 psi and that pump is probably around 1,450. I’m going with your fist thought of probably not put together correctly.

Put a locking hub at one end then you don't even need to disconnect anything!

@Unintentional Failure yep he needs a little bit stiffer suspension that was a lot of roll for only 30 MPH

100%

Spot on !

Agreed

@@Rudysadventureanddesignreal anti-rock sways are awesome

Those were high pressure lines

@@glenjamindle yes but not crimped fittings for it/;/; i would reccomend steel braided as well which those were not

Hmmm seems odd that NON steel braided hoses would throw sparks while being cut with an abrasive wheel don't ya think ?

@@timpretzsch2609 Hydraulic hoses are, working out from inside, rubber-steel-rubber, if braided they have an extra outer layer of steel and sometimes a plastic casing too

@@90vanman ya fully aware, was a sarcastic response to the guy who said to get steel braided lines and tried to indicate these were not lol

Sounds like you need to meet more of the ladies... that's a human thing, not a "guy thing"

@@block4565 haha how did I know someone like you would pop up and take this offensively somehow
