Hey guys, if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up! I wanted to mention two things that I forget to bring up in the video.
1. A lot of guys add shims in between the pitman arm and the steering box to reduce any sort of play and to protect the sector shaft.
2. People tend to convert to wheel studs instead of using the bolts.
I wanted to bring these to attention so people have the full picture on how to build one of these beams! Hope everyone is excited for Ep. 3
Edit: added links in the description to everything used in the video!

As a 77 year old retired engineer I take my hat off to you 2 young men for your knowledge and ability to relay that knowledge in detail to your channel. Good luck and best wishes for the future. Regards Tony

I love how educational you guys make these videos. It's not just showing the finished projects but we get to learn a lot along the way. Keep it up!

You guys are doing great with the fabrication. If I were building this, I think I would have started by having the beam hot-tanked after disassembly to get all the old grease and dirt out of it.

Tuesday’s just got a whole lot better. Great job guys

I'm glad I found this video. Saved for resource when we beef up the front end of our baja project.

[renevaldivia]

I admire their ingenuity in their fabrications, I'm fact they have helped me get started with my bug

[DanielTiffany-oi]

I envy the friendship you guys have. 👍

You two make a good pair...your knowledge and your partner's welding skills is impressive.

[dwyn]

This. Is. Amazing. Look, I have no idea how much you guys get paid, but you are light years ahead of anything I would ever have thought up on my own! There is this reality that people eventually arrive at, but usually when they are much older than you.... it isn't good enough to be one of the best in the world at what you do, that's just not good enough, your responsibility to humanity at large, is to make other people as good at what you do as you are.... and this does that.

Good timing on video. Youtube suggested this to me after I watched the class 11 race at KOH the other night, I'm betting there's a lot of people out there right now trying to learn about class 11. Good information in there. You're brave for welding that close to your truck, remember, welding slag likes to stick to glass...

Some of the guys I knew would use the section you rotated 9/16 to also add 3 " total to widen the track for better control and move the mounts and add extra gussets for strength. Good job on everything you did to that front end and steering arm keep the rod burner happy he really did a good job ...

Great video. Lot of information on why your doing what you’re doing. Just picked up my 69 last week, and plan on tackling this over the weekend. Thanks a lot!

I wish I had a tig welder. I appreciate the learning from this video. My brian is slightly less stupid now

[Thisbajabug]

Great Job.. I'm Starting a Rally bug in the Spring so these tips will help..

[vwmountainman]

Very nice work !!!
Excellent description of work being done.

Just Awesome! Baja! But. you could spot weld those ends some more. In between every existing one just put another!
