STEERING BRACE by BSF Recovery Team

We install the Off-road Design steering box brace on the wrecker.

[@DE-ok4ld]

Thanks for the informative video. Neat trick on priming your Steering box!

[@joeclarke9782]

I like the shop vids more than the rescue. Good job.

[@z777luck777z]

Happy Easter! Always glad when I get a notification for one of your videos!

[@mattfogarty5868]

took the whole front clip to my squarebody off just like you did with yours eric. man was that easy lol first time I've ever had one off

[@TheRedneckRailRoad]

I guess you are going to have a good deal of maintenance on anything that is worked that hard all the time. Happy Easter to you and yours.

[@MK-vy1ii]

I have installed the brace kit and welded the plate on to the frame of my K5. It has not cracked or worsen since I installed Off Road Designs kit, it's worth the time, effort and money; in my opinion. I put a re-manufactured GM steering box and all Moog steering parts, it steers like my Cobalt. No slack or wondering.

[@azimaz5483]

You did all that effore and money to steer like your Chevy cobolt da fuq?

[@wheelitzr2]

man that king pin issue is a real bummer, I'm glad you found it not while you were wheelin.

[@richardmarshall9503]

Im sure you are getting spring fever and ready for off-roading. :)

[@catdieselpower193]

great vids pard I appreciate your knowledge!

[@JasonGuerard]

Good question on the gusset Mara.

[@steverone7623]

happy Easter Eric, seat cover, seat cover Jr and Jeff

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Happy Easter to you too.

[@michaelmcfarland3108]

recoveryteam you gonna box the frame in adds a lot of strength

[@oldman6495]

Nice job!

[@TheMrhick92]

can't wait to see how you weld the cast knuckle

[@brianparke3975]

not cast. Forged steel

[@VAHOSS]

good video bsf

[@dwitcraft]

Great video. That right angle drill was cheating!

[@auhunter04]

may the good Lord bless the guy who cane up with the ratchet. Piece of trivia do you know why bolts and nuts are different size? Back in yesteryear they could only afford one set of wrenches, if they were both the same size you could only hold one end, As times have progressed this is no longer an issue--tool sets are cheaper.

[@nnaatz1]

spring time in Minnesota....my shop is swamp too..lol

[@jeanniehogue4490]

I live in North Dakota & I wish u were my dad!

[@Flyanb]

Eric are you afraid you'll just chase the problem somewhere else. To me it looks like that 3/8" plate will really beef it up, but just might crack in front or behind. Good luck.

[@ForesterGump]

Respect from Russia!

[@gwisdallatexas]

I love the intro.....just saying

[@sighpocket5]

Nice!!

[@Napco205]

All 80s frames came with that corner bracing, its not specific to just a 1-ton, and frames are all the same thickness in the gear box area, they all were prone to cracking there, the best way to do it is weld the side brace and bottom piece.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

I was referring to the gauge of steel they are formed from, the 1 tons are formed from a thicker gauge.

[@ArcticBlues1]

I think you outta just install a zipper on that front clip while you have it apart this time. Save you some time and work next time :)

[@tubewaldo]

Crossover steering may have prevented the knuckle problem.,

[@hammerbiohazard521]

great vids as always but its more intro then show....

[@randyrowe3097]

Burcitis elbow. Ouch I had that.

[@raymonderickson7975]

😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

[@greggkuzila7513]

why didn't get this box up the frame so you know it won't break again

[@davidkinderman6492]

so after the helper turns the wheel enough times is there a bleeder valve on the steering box that you break loose I've always had to deal with the air in the lines an the nasty squalling of the pump

[@SawmillerSmith]

there's no bleeder valve

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

The air gets purged into the fluid reservoir, where it then escapes.

[@jefferybolding1899]

Build your engine while nothing in way

[@tinsano6030]

He already put a rebuilt chevy 350 in it.

[@mikepertle3582]

Looks like ur fan blades r bent up a little?

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

You would think by the way they look, but no they were made that way.

[@AdamCanFly]

Does this help with bump steering at all?

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

No, the cure for bump steer on a old square body is a cross over steering upgrade.

[@AdamCanFly]

recoveryteam that’s on my to do list for sure!

[@dockmasterted]

Is that way better than boxing the frame?

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

A lot of things bolted to the frame, and in the way. Boxing would be very difficult.

[@annalog88]

Very annoying intro, way too long! 3-5 seconds is better ;) Otherwise good video as always.

[@adamderanick3313]

who makes the brackets

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Off-Road Design, in Colorado.

[@TheRoguelement]

Your obviously;y an astute operator , I have to wonder did the wheel nearly fall off before you noticed the change in wheel attitude ..You might have caught that earlier had you been on the ball now your Dana front end is junk and you have taken the temper out of the hardened cone . I wonder what service life it has now ?

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

I see GM made almost everything cheaper quality in the 80's and not just their truck frames.

[@l337pwnage]

The only thing that's gotten higher quality is the seats and sound insulation. You drive a modern truck into a deep water hole, it's junk, you drive a '80's truck into a deep water hole, you dry it out and drive it home. They're basically just cars now for soccer moms. O, and don't drop your tool box in one of the modern aluminum boxes, it'll just fall right through and hit the ground, lol.

[@0778drz110]

Are you implying that the dodge and ford frames were better? Because they weren't.

[@Pilot_Unknown]

screw unskipable ads.....

[@mudmilitia]

gotta get an ad blocker

[@rustybrowneye]

mudmilitia those acually work?

[@ZaganStoanes]

My ad blocker works pretty good
