With those axles in a rig like that, it seems like a waste NOT to add rear steer!! However… I’d suggest you finish it, wheel it, and add that later while you’re tweaking other things. 👍🏼

[jola]

that ride deserves rear steer, how much fun will that be!

Hey Nate! Former avionics manufacturing tech here. In regards to weatherproofing your wiring, you can find shrink tubing that's lined with an adhesive that melts at high temperature. As you shrink the tubing, the adhesive will also melt, forming a seal. You can also get the adhesive separately in the form called Hot Melt Tape. You can wrap it inside non-adhesive shrink tubing, or weave the tape between wires/cables to fill in any gaps to prevent FOD (foreign objects/debris)/water ingress as well. The adhesive is also nice for keeping nylon braid/wire loom in place. As far as rear-steer goes, yes! I would love to see how you incorporate rear-steer into a rig

[groberjager]

YES on the rear steer and air scoop. Once you have them you will be happy with the results and therefore the decision!! This is looking so cool!!!

[rdebarr]

Definitely a yes on the rear steering.

[stephengallina]

I vote yes to rear steer. But sounds like it’s something you could easily add later with just a little planning for now.
Love the build!

[WatoHDJ]

Definitely do rear steer before worrying about the bonnet. It'll actually make a big difference to the rigs performance over fresh air that it is already getting. Also, you can buy heat shrink that has glue in it. When it gets to a certain temperature the glue melts and seals the heat shrink. It works really well.

Rear steer: hell yes.
Hood scoop ducting: one day but not if it stops you from going on the trip

[SuperDad]

The answers to your questions at the end is Yes & Yes! Definitely wanna see the ductwork and the rear steer, your creativity is awesome!

[ThinkingOffTheGrid]

Bro, you’re killing it! Your skills are getting better and better! Definitely one of my favorite channels on YouTube!

[justin]

Rear steer for sure. Hood ductwork in the future. Can't wait to see the new Sami on the channel ripping up the trail.

[RussianKnight]

Rear steer let’s go!!! That thing looks so hardcore, you may as well do rear steer cause why not. Especially if it’s straightforward

[LeesGarage]

I’d love to see the ducting & rear steer, but I want to see it on trail more. 😂

[PNW_Rodeo]

Absolutely do ducting for the hood scoop. You have a scoop, use it. Rear steer would be awesome.

[couragegrell]

Consider this another vote in favor of ducting the hood and adding rear steer. I would love to see your approach to the project, since your quality control is so top tier! Keep up the phenomenal work!

[TrailTime.]

Rear steer for sure! You’ll never be disappointed that you have rear steer!!!

[UncleChester]

Do the ducting in the hood. Do the rear steer. So many of the guys watching this are living vicariously through your builds that is it almost insulting to them to not go the extra mile. Spend the extra money, spend the extra time, blood, sweat, tears, so many sleepless nights and family sacrifices and most of us will still never have a ride as capable and solid as this one. Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration to us all!

[kevinborn]

Rear steer, yes. Ducting, if it can help keep the filter dry. Then you should get Gail Banks to tune it. Great build.

[mathewmay]

Rear steer and scoop is a yes for me, go big or go home! You have done so much already, why not give it the whole package!!

[gtrjudd]

Yes for rear steer. Yes for anything you build out of any material, so keen to see this thing on some rocks
