Extending Steering Column Do’s and Don’ts

[@MattsOffRoadRecovery]

Whoooo Hooo! I finally worked!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

🤣🤣 you might be the single busiest person I know. Thank you for taking time out of your day to mess with that steering column. It was a ton of fun!

[@bigblue1287]

Next time tell your son to give updates on his TEAMMATE!!! "Oh holly broke her back" never heard another thing...

[@tomtomsshop]

Thanks for coming by Hollie, this was a fun little project!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

The pleasure was all mine. I’m very grateful for the help and even more grateful for the laughs! See you guys again soon 😁

[@shaneharrison4775]

Well worked TomTom you and Matt did great for Hollie and I see the Bomby is coming along quite well the new drive sprockets look tough.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Alright TomTom I subscribed to your channel so you can start uploading now 😂😂😂

[@theburtseoni]

Tom is such a great guy! I'm glad he can help you out Holly!

[@509FUN]

Tom mentions the “we do it right cause we do it twice” is just too good😂

[@justinmills8084]

Tom Tom is a great man, you know that because he is so eager to help.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

That’s the MORR way!

[@lindawillets]

Great co-work collaboration ! Tom deserves a maiden trek in MM ! Hey Holly , I think you need a 6'' steel rule for measuring ! That tape measure was so hard to maneuver . It would put you one up on the guys !

[@trjnsd6874]

"...never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over..." You have a host of friends! What wonderful people you all are!

[@richardjack1848]

I melt a little every time you say my lovelies! Thanx

[@steveout6971]

I love how Matt has his safety glasses on his hat rather than on his face when cutting the steering column to fix it.

[@46wireboy]

Crap, was just going to read him the riot act about protecting his hat while using the death wheel!

[@YouTubeBinging]

Be lucky you even got to see them on his hat 😂

[@TrevorDennis100]

He is also the only person in his shop who will not cover up when welding. #welding_gives_you_cancer!

[@jerryking9333]

So glad you are getting better. MORR and the gang gets a thumbs up for helping. Great to interact with friends again. Great videos, just be careful. You are a important person in the off road community. Looking forward to you getting back to 100%

[@donwilliams3626]

"i get by with a little help from my friends." It's nice to have MORR friends!

[@TrzCharlie]

Good to see you back in action Holly...

[@katreniaclark]

It was great to you back at Matt's shop and hanging with them again. I can not wait to see you and MM back out on the trails.

[@stevehaken]

TomTom using his favorite drilling machine!

[@jamesbigham9036]

Good morning Hollie I am excited for the day when Mischief Maker is done and you can go back out on the trails.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Assuming the shipping Gods play nicely, that should be this weekend! 😊🙌🏻

[@petergrimes2466]

OMG FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! I finally get to get my MM hat!! High priced i think but i dont care ive wanted one for so long thank you for getting some back in and i got 1 thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!! Also cant wait to get MM up and going places with Hollie and friends again!!!!

[@gregb76]

Wonderful team work it's so nice to see great friends work like a family. You all are so lucky to have each other.

[@rrando02]

Welcome back. Would love to hear some more arias.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

It is so wonderful that Hollie has such good friends like TOM & MATT. And of course ROCKIN-RUDY!! That will drop everything and pitch right in. How I look forward to the day, with mischief maker, is all set and ready to hit the trails!!

[@jeffking8642]

Welcome back Holly!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Thank you, Jeff! It is good to be back 😊🤘🏻

[@f87115]

I think every injury you have makes you appreciate life a little more ❤ lookin good 👍

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Looking forward to seeing MM and his talented driver back on the trails!

[@brianhendricks5326]

Great to see everyone pitching in. 😊 That's what offroad and fabrication are about.

[@marvindebot3264]

TomTom: "Luckily, I had this old piece of reactor feedwater tubing just lying around, it shouldn't be TOO hot . . ." 🤣 Good to see you wearing that full face shield while using an unguarded cutoff wheel. I'm waiting for the inevitable accident at MOOR and praying it doesn't involve an eye. Any emergency room can tell stories of picking bits of those out of faces and shoulders.

[@tomtomsshop]

You weren't supposed to recognize that tubing! Just kidding, it was an old tie rod.

[@marvindebot3264]

LOL, dumber things have been done with hot scrap but you are the last person I'd expect to do something dumb especially when it comes to radiation. I sometimes think Matt hired you to keep him alive 😁@@tomtomsshop

[@jonathondaniel485]

I'm so happy see you back to working and getting your ride for the trail your smile keeps getting bigger prayers

[@jetprime7686]

Thank you TomTom for helping Holi

[@tomtomsshop]

Happy to, she's awesome!

[@emilevoyer123]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

[@landofskymanager]

LOL, who else wrenches in a diamond tennis bracelet? Holly rocks!

[@joshmccoy1522]

So excited to see you and MM back on the trail. Hurry up!

[@MarkoMygun]

You are so close Hollie,so close you ought to go on a month long trail Expedition lol. Can't wait to see you on the trails again. Thanks for the video.

[@douglasbrooker5834]

Good to see you back to entertain us with great videos..😊

[@JRs-Garage]

Great to see Matt and TomTom always lending a hand ……. Twice 😂🤣😂

[@jimderrick846]

You can’t have any fun unless there is shenanigans 😂😂😂😂. Keep it up Holly 🎉🎉🎉

[@duanelawrence78]

I can't wait Hollie!!✌️🇺🇲

[@michaelshore2300]

A friend went to an Auction and there were a number of hospital beds He bought one put a work to on it. The finest work show bench he has ever had mobile, wheel locks, Hydraulic raise with foot pedal Lift heavy objects perfect

[@MischiefMakerTV]

That’s a great idea. Never would have thought of that. I think we will need a pallet jack at the shop at some point, but for now I just rely on Walter and remind him to lift with his knees 🤣.

[@YouTubeBinging]

Too many "that's what she said" and "you and me both" opportunities in this video. Must. Resist. 😂. Great video. Good to see MORR team

[@mooshaker]

Looking forward to seeing MM and H back on the trail.

[@superheatsubcool]

Glad to see you back - When I first saw Mischief Maker I had to ask, who is the woman that is making all the guys look bad? You good Boy ? I mean Girl !

[@chrisgreenwood4713]

Friends are the Best!

[@dwartfarquart9590]

You take better video of the artwork at MORR than they ever do😂. Good on ya. I hooe you are out on the trail, soon.

[@wamrfixit2]

No good deed goes unpunished !!

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Goooooood morning Hollie!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Good morning!!

[@philiprizzuto6314]

Love to watch you all work together since they did it twice im sure it will work

[@brianbowles3421]

I’m praying for your healing

[@shawnofthedata]

Tom wanted to use the Sally

[@COM70]

I have drill press envy !

[@shawnofthedata]

@@COM70 me too

[@chiefvilla3167]

Hey Holly. You walked away from Ed. He was behind you trying to say hi.😔😞🤔🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️😊😎

[@MischiefMakerTV]

We had a long wee chat and catch up and it was lovely

[@nwliving]

I broke my right quad tendon in may. just got back to work today. still a struggle but getting behid the wheel of what i love is worth it. know how you feel !!

[@bigblue1287]

Holy how are you feeling???? RUDY GAVE US NO INFO ON YOU.*.. What a great partner 🤣

[@natswoodshop940]

You are awesome❤❤

[@JDZiemba1773]

You could have grabbed the thicker wall tubing and turned it down to a more manageable gauge....just a thought...👍🇺🇸❤️

[@stunick1573]

Holy Moly this was a fun video!

[@uoobwatcher]

I have that same adjustable height work table. Works great.

[@SiCrewe]

Soon as I saw how far the inner part slides into the outer part, I knew this was going to be more complicated than expected. Ideally, you'd probably want to cut the column as close as possible to the front UJ, so the splined section of the column isn't touched.

[@ironbearjku2233]

I feel your pain! Haven’t wheeled my rig in 2 years now 😢 Next year that will change! Boom! Hopefully.

[@luddtechnologies8795]

Good morning Hollie and Walter. I never realized how tall Matt and Tom Tom are until you turned the camera around. Like you’ve done a thousand times. Great content with great friends. What is your first trail?

[@MischiefMakerTV]

I’ve put a lot of thought into which trail and…it’s complicated. Part of me wants to dive right into the harder stuff and see how I handle myself (I had been wheeling 2-3 times a week minimum since 2019 until I got hurt). The more logical part of me and the part that truly enjoys the sport says I should just go hit something easy and get the jitters out of the way (and make sure my modifications are up to snuff). I think my logical side will win this one in the end, but I’m definitely eager to get back out on the extreme trails! 😊🤘🏻

[@besetapart369]

A tape measure tip for better measurements.. put the edge of the tape on the piece and put one of the inch markings on the mark you're measuring from, then measure out.. its a little easier than trying to figure out where to put the end..

[@bobhamilton7472]

I love your drill face! Or could it sub for 'did i just break something face'?😮

[@gtoscowork]

I seen Sally got involved..

[@andrewkoetz3933]

The Bombi steers like a Bobcat skidsteer tractor. A piece of WWII history the Sherman tanks were steered in the same manner as a good size chunk of our armed forces came off the farms to fight......

[@andrewkoetz3933]

That same saying applies up at FAB RATS as well

[@jimm659]

Matt is the first person you thought of when you need 4 inches of tubing. LMAO🤣

[@ElmoUnk1953]

Good 👍 Job!

[@HolisticPatriots]

Tom's Off-Road Recovery (TORR)

[@moustachemike7128]

8:46 Tom i think a pilot drill or a smaller drill first might work better...just a thought...lol

[@bertwalts3211]

Tell Matt that when using the grinder the safety glasses should be on his eyes not his hat lol😂

[@jamesrogers6376]

TOM while drilling. WHERE ARE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES? Do you like seeing. Your family. Friends. And beautiful nature?

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

You're eight miles from Matt's shop. That's the logical place to start. You get to visit. You get the help and steel you need, and they get to be of service. Guys like Matt and Tom live for that stuff. ANNND... Tom Tom got to use his pride and joy drill press. Well long, tall Sally She's built for speed, she got Everything that Tom Tom need, oh baby Yeah baby, woo baby Havin' me some fun tonight, yeah.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Very true. It’s great having Matt, Rudy and Paul in such close proximity and Robby a mere 3 hours away. If it can’t fix it, there’s a good chance any one of those guys has me covered! #bestneighborsever

[@mikego18753]

Thumbs up.

[@oldretireddude]

I'm surprised that a 2" horizontal move of the steering box only required a 2" angular length change of the steering rod, I would expect it to be longer.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Walter said the same thing, but I had spoken to a few folks who have done similar relocations (and a few who had used this same kit) & it seems like the splined section is fairly long with these steering shafts, so we only need to add a little bit to ensure there is still good engagement when the shaft is extended and locked in place.

[@thatdave86]

Hey Tom Tom ,the drill press Sally ,isn't that Safety Sally ?as he drills without safety glasses ??

[@grant4176]

I'd blame Sally! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@papatomsthoughts]

😊😊 fun times

[@krawlerkingdom]

I was wondering if the splines were going to get buggered by cutting through the middle of them. Good job!

[@MischiefMakerTV]

My plan was to plug weld - only drilling through the additional piece added in between the cut - and then tack the edge in 2 spots. Drilling through both tubes was not part of my plan but it worked out in the end (remember, you can always do it right if you do it twice! 😅). I can’t think of one good garage story where everything went perfectly 🤣

[@krawlerkingdom]

@@MischiefMakerTVI rarely if ever get to do anything once 😂. I figured cutting closer to the end so you wouldn’t have to line up two sections of splines. Your adjusted method worked out just fine😂 You totally got me with the chute video! I was thinking that was one heck of a first obstacle back

[@46wireboy]

It deserves repeating. Matt, that spinny thingy is generally known as a death wheel for a reason. In the last few months, I've seen safety glasses with pieces of a death wheel sticking about a half inch through them. We would miss you dearly, whereas we wouldn't much care about the death of your HAT. It's not like burning your fingers. Capisce?

[@dustymojave]

If you had a strong need to trail ride while fixing MM, why not take Shorty out? You know, the Hammers competition Jeep.

[@charlesyates6743]

Dang girl you might want to get the death wobble lol.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Never 😅 I run 2.5 ton steering, with Johnny Joints on either end of my track bar and kingpin axles. There’s zero chance of death wobble unless I really neglect my steering and track bar joints.

[@JohnMontero-Nevaden]

Their Helping You And You If It Don't Fit Their Going To OWE U Some Parts - W.T. F. I Would Tell You To Stick Em Up Your #$$ - You Ought To Be Grateful For Their Free Help!

[@jameswood9764]

Add some grease to the spline?

[@stuartwilson5634]

Tom Tom , your drilling face doesn’t have safety glasses on.

[@shaneharrison4775]

Or Mathew!!!!

[@John13Edge]

You guys do realize you are playing with the crumble zone of the factory jeep….pretty sure with all the roll bars etc you have welded on to the frame the crumble zone is long gone…the splines stop the steer wheel from hitting the drivers chest in case of head on collision….

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Why you just didn't use a Ford one?

[@siyabonganqayana]

Ohh I see, take it easy then

[@siyabonganqayana]

I saw that day you took on the Jeep Matt owns that I was missing something and you didn't have anything to hide but I was not getting something,it turns out you had already spoken about it, the accident you mentioned, Ohhhh I see

[@siyabonganqayana]

Don't worry someone was nervous then I also got to be, I didn't know love could do that, haven't told her it's not her fault

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys

[@mikegazaille7687]

Who is the new girl in the shop! I feel I've missed something?

[@scottperry9540]

You tried faking me out 😂

[@tombarger2599]

For the love of God measure the diameter of the shaft so you know what to look for.

[@andrewkoetz3933]

Should rename Sally to "Long Tall Sally"

[@treyduplechain]

How often do you change your hood banner between Mickey Thompson and BFGoodrich ?

What do you mean, your going to owe me some parts. Did you pay for it, or out of there time and supplies they did it for free. 😮

It was a joke my lovely 😊

Holly, would you like me to send you a proper mor accurate tape measure with mm on it?

[@wb6anp]

drilling with no safety glasses, these guys don't seem to give a crap about their vision.

[@joshswitzer3327]

I don't think cutting the splines was a good idea at all
