Old School Jeep Build (Part 11) | High Steer Knuckle & Test Drive!

I respect your outlook...if the whole thing went perfectly, this wouldn't be Fortune Off-Road. Keeps things in context with the real world. Thanks for the work. It makes the wheeling videos more relevant.

[@FortuneOffRoad]

Thanks for the feedback! Just keeping it real; I'm an amatuer and make mistakes frequently... sharing them so you guys can learn from them 😄

I need to notch my frame too but have been putting it off. One thing leads to another leads to another leads to another... Planning to take my red YJ on the Rubicon for the first time this year, super excited.

[@FortuneOffRoad]

Jeeps and the Rubicon is a magical thing!

[@FlawedOffroad]

those built in stops you can lop them off then drill into and tap and run a bolt in, plenty of meat behind it

[@FortuneOffRoad]

I'm gonna try! I cut a lot the material off 😬

[@FlawedOffroad]

@@FortuneOffRoad I saw that after i commented. Im starting to wonder if my d60 reid knuckles are gonna be as much of a pain getting my rcvs in. soon enough we will know

[@Allianceoffroad]

Congrats came out really nice. Front stretch was a game changer. Looks sic. Any thoughts to put the drag link going to the pitman arm on the bottom side? Seems like would put it parallel with the tie rod but hard to tell on tv.

[@FortuneOffRoad]

Yeah, it's so low that I'll only have 1.5" of up travel before the diff hits it when it's mounted to the bottom.

@@FortuneOffRoad Gotcha makes sense

Man, choppin up that new flat top knuckle was hard to watch. Nice work. Are you a Cliff Hanger? I enjoy the videos from Black Betty as well.

[@FortuneOffRoad]

Yeah not fun to chop it up. I roll with the Cliffhangers when I can!
