Project Ronnie Episode 5! Something Strange! Differential and Brakes!

[@gregnavarro6292]

It’s the love that you rub into your projects, like hand packing bearings and counter sinking washers that make it special 😊 Much Love my Brother!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

1000 percent. Thank you Greg!

[@codygalloway9597]

I'm glad to see the wheels turning on this build again ready to see it rip 👍

[@paulyoung6832]

Need to make more content Stevie! I still remember the one where you went out back to chop the tree down by hand instead of using chainsaw. That was hilarious

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m still paying for that one

[@vehdynam]

This is great ! So glad to see progress on Ronnie, and he is looking good. I am really looking forward to the horsepower videos . Thanks Stevie , much appreciated.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you Bob! Me too. It’s going to be fun!

[@bigbaz8937]

Steve from what I can see I think you might struggle getting 12 inch wide rims inside the body line due to not being to run enough back spacing due to where the rear shock mounts are situated, it would have been handy for you to call down to Cleets and take a look under the back of Mallet.

[@billclark5943]

Looking good Steve. The drive shaft and pinion should be at the same angle with some angle in the ujoints but reality is most work just fine with far from ideal. You really never realize how much is involved in these projects until you get in to it. Probably 600 hours + by the time your done with Ronnie. I've worked full time for a year on car and plane projects.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

It’s way more than what I thought. But I’m having a blast

[@billclark5943]

@@SteveJacksonRacing awesome man. Looking forward to big smiles and lots of long, smokey, double tap burnouts 💪

[@johnkeating8461]

I just stumbled across your Aviation Series. While watching "We Got a Plane!", I got a lump in my throat, and a tear in my eye. I owned an '84 F33A many years ago. I miss flying terribly. I admire your goal to continue training and certifying, with the intention of keeping flying way up into your years. Don't ever stop! Also, you said the paint was scheduled for Nov '22--how about an update.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thanks man! I love flying as much as I love racing! I have some pretty badass aviation updates coming soon!

[@jimharrison5376]

I'm glad to see this build moving forward!!!

[@bertcraven4553]

Great video. Been waiting to see it since you mentioned it in lowes the other day. That truck is gonna be sick for sure. Ready for more

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thanks Bert!

[@artmatthes3559]

Stevie's got the best interesting stories. Talk about a reality show. And he's like a little comedian. But the man knows what he's doing, there's no doubt about that. Love your content Stevie.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you Art! I appreciate it. I have fun for sure

[@billlevassiur8274]

Great video. Nice to laugh at yourself. Project Ronnie is going to be cool. Can't wait.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you Bill. We all need to laugh at ourselves now and then

[@josephcatlin5712]

What’s up with Ronnie I miss your videos . Hope you are doing well my friend

[@mikebianco7854]

Looking awesome Stevie 💪🏽.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thanks Mike!

[@edgerat]

Man this was a good time! Enjoyed it Fast!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you sir

[@davidwhite3821]

Take Ronnie to drag and drive sick week. It's close to home. Think about it

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Not a bad idea

[@tedzehnder961]

Cross thread is better than "locktite" ,good excuse.

[@vfehgvfvbgrwbnw]

Hope to see this thing get completed eventually

[@mrjimbobtx]

Dude, you’re Stevie Fast FREAKIN Jackson, call that wheel company and tell them to get to whittlin on those wheels they discontinued!!!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Hell yes!

[@carrierguy1]

Excited to watch this come together.

[@micahbuchheit1283]

Thanks Champ !! Safe Travels!!

[@rolliefoster2837]

...some nice looking brake parts !...

[@rolliefoster2837]

....you're busy man, all good - I tried to visit with you during the midwest NHRA races but you were covered up with other fans - no worries ! my daughter met you at Indy '18 still asks me every Sunday...'how'd Stevie do? '...your personality is infectious & would love to work with you...keep kickin' ass, man...love it !...

[@dudeharbaugh5733]

Great job.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you.

[@codygalloway9597]

And Stevie! If you are going to do burnouts comps big wheels like 20's and so will give you alot of control and slow the front down a bit so your not pushing the front and from from what I can tell and see it give you better car control when you have a high rear tire speed and low front tire speed

[@superpoof]

Mr. Fast. (see how I made this a formal comment?). I see we have missed each other in communications regarding the car chief position. I feel totally responsible. This time of year is always busy in the lawn service business, and of course tax season is right around the corner for us CPA's. But the big setback for me was when Cletus demanded I weed eat around his grandmaw's she shed. But my priorities remain in place. Help those who cannot help themselves. Poor Cletus. Next thing you know pocket rocket will be hitting me up for free sprinkler systems around the midget estate.. I eagerly await correspondence with you regarding the car chef position. Does that mean I will have to cook for you and your crew? Oh well. No biggie. And on a side note. My wife is disgruntled about the fact I have named her momma jugs "Grease Titties". But she'll get over it. Until next time, the man, the myth, the legend. SUPERPOOF!!!! (Seriously. If you get tired of these, just tell me)

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@scottvaughan473]

Looking good

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Thank you Scott

[@Jeffrm-mc9rq]

Put some feelers out on the socials and see if anyone has those particular wheels. Worth a shot to get the wheels you were wanting.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Not a bad idea

[@chrisjohnson6554]

still got it Stevie !

Thank you 💪💪💪

Hope to see you and Lyle at another Cleetus race.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Me toooo

[@DJ-yp4kc]

are we going to see Father Christmas?

[@michaelgleeson1198]

Good to see a new Ronnie video been awhile but racing commitments come first. That Cleetus McFarland dude how dare he have such a fast sexy Ute. I'd even go as far to say it could probably pull the ladies as well. Toast does a good burnout with an Australian built engine. The Question is will Ronnie pull the ladies?

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Ronnie is long and strong

[@robwigglezz944]

French Toast lol. The mustache

[@peted5217]

Little doubt running this class provides humbling (& expensive) experiences every run. Applying increasing torque through the same parts til they bend (imperceptibly) or break (catastrophically) requires sleuthing that makes Sherlock Holmes' efforts childlike. Unlike most followers rides that remain consistent for decades.....

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

💪💪💪💪

[@Ben-Y2K]

I heard you say "ready by Gainesville", buy I never heard you say what year.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

😂😂😂😂

[@RonniePTexan]

That clip of your flip... "Brakes don't work in the air" Not with that attitude they won't!

[@tedzehnder961]

Just put two different wheels on the back !I`d custom make something that looks like an old wheel and "poverty" hub cap that would match an old rusty rig. If you make this sort of a sleeper you might as well stay with the theme.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

💪💪💪💪

[@EddieM-rh3dv]

What's the estimated time of HOSSING THE GAS ⛽

[@seanrichardson1038]

weres jack and the rest of your crew guys

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Jack retired from the racing team in April.

[@carrierguy1]

Lets go!

[@jdias51]

Off the shelf qa1 4 link? Figure you would do something custom

[@CDeese39]

I know you keep talking about being short handed you are. How would one go about joining your crew I am a mechanical engineer at a chemical plant but I have always been around motorsports/ mainly dirt track but would like to get the opportunity to learn.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Nooooooo

[@stevemarsa]

Damn the snowbirds deal didn’t age well. Sorry florida was a dud it was killer seeing Lyle murder JR! Hoping you share what you find was the deal with the lack of horse torques on the blue car. We chatted for a few min in your pit im genuinely curious what you turn up. If you don’t recall me and my girlfriend stopped by a time or two she had the Proline shirt LOL!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Hi Steve. Snowbirds was tough for us. We worked really hard to run that slow. I haven’t put my finger on what made us run 3.70’s like a bracket car. But I’m on the hunt. It was good talking to you!

[@RonniePTexan]

Project Ronnie *_will 100% be done by Gainesville_* 2023. People complaining need to realize you never said what year!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

I’m on it!

[@RonniePTexan]

@@SteveJacksonRacing Take your time brother. Do it right. Ronnie wouldn't have wanted to have you slap together something that you didn't like. If it's Gainesville 2027, it's still done by Gainesville!

[@Mac-td7lt]

Steve... We are going to have to drug test you. 2 new vids lately. What has gotten into you? Lol

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

I’m fired up

[@jimmything5915]

Yeah buddy

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

💪💪💪

[@lukelikens2057]

Since you only have the one rim I don't know how big it is but could it be made into the steering wheel for Ronnie if not you could always turn it into a cool man cave table at least you might be able to make it worth the 900 bucks LOL

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Great idea

[@lukelikens2057]

@@SteveJacksonRacing I'm good for one every now and then lol 😆

[@benrossbach6501]

Explain boss. You have ne curious why 3 degrees down.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

I don’t think that I can get the engine low enough in the truck to have a flat drive angle. The driveshaft yoke is limited by the diameter of the rear tires. So I’m going to have to tilt the engine down a little in the back to make it head down to the yoke

[@benrossbach6501]

Thought you were saying you would be tinting it 3 degrees to the front.

[@gregoryskelton9270]

hand packing is worth 2/10ths!

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

100!

[@sunset1300]

Steve, I love you but, I don't have friends at Strange, I have a wife and kids, my original thought was that you were building a regular guy car, but no , you went Mike Finnegan and Cleetas. What about the guy when you were 20? I'm happy to have a12 bolt under ny short wheelbase C10. Paching bearings on your custom spindles lost me. Goodbye.

[@SteveJacksonRacing]

Sorry man. I hate it that my vision of the build didn’t match yours. Good luck with your hotrod.
