I know a guy who runs PCS on his dirt riot rig and has had nothing but problems with everything other than their ram. I haven't seen many people who have had issues with the rams.

My coworker got arrested for 95 in a 55 in March in Haralson county for reckless driving. The judge couldn't see his traffic record or background for some reason (2 thefts by taking and several speeding tickets) and he got it reduced to under a super speeder, 1 month probation, and 16 hours community service and it's all dropped after he does the community service. Another guy before him got a $1200 fine and 12 months probation for a cracked windshield. Granted his hood flew up and broke it and he kept driving it around until he could afford to fix it, but damn lol.

Ya nothing else I will have is PSC... least not yet... I need another external res... I use my stock pump but far as I know psc is the only company who makes a aftermarket pump... if mine ever went out because of the added stress I dunno... that's why I wanna run cooler also... deff need a reservoir though... mines full when the motors shut off but when running it's near empty lol

Plead no contest.
The most I've ever paid for a speeding ticket was $72.50. They've all (10 or so) have been written as "Less than 10mph over the speed limit"

They were usually like 67mph in 55mph.

Artec is kinda high on their PSC stuff but i ran the gift certificate code for 10% and after shipping and everything it was like $135... not bad... i couldnt find annything else i would need from them... all my brackets and stuff are bought already...
That ram does perfectly fine and never missed a beat on 35's. For 40's I would probably run the next size up but I doubt that's necessary since I see PSC rams that size on rigs with 40's frequently. It's not like the ram is mounted in shear.

PSC full hydro, yes. Not PSC full hydro not as much. With a $500 Eaton orbital and a Surplus center double ended ram you'd be good to go for about $650.

Find a deal on an Orbital and you'd be set.

Ya if u buy a pre made kit of any kind it'll cost ya... just like buying a nitrogen kit... kits like $450 plus shipping... I have less than $250 in mine... just don't have a cool "case"..

My hydro steering up to this point I only had $350 in it... stock pump... orbital... lines and ram got used locally off pirate... came with orbital mount for XJ... orbital brand started with a F I think but forget... offroad company... ruff stuff heims were new unused off pirate... took time but gathered it all cheap... then I broke the ram... ordered one last night for $135 shipped out of pocket... can't complain... just hope my clevis ends fit... lol

A guy in GATR just bought an 18 wheeler and car hauler trailer. Says we can use it to go to Moab next year. Fuel comes out to a hair under $600 round trip... Damn now I want to stay at my job and use vacation days for that.

How in the hell is going to get to Moab and back on $600 in a truck? I guess you mean split across a couple people?

How many rigs does he figure hauling? I would think 3 and maybe a RZR would fill it up. I wouldn't think 4 full size rigs would fit. We are taking a 36' to KOH 2015 and try to figure how to squeeze a RZR in with us

Yes split across several people. Like a two story car hauler with 48,000 lbs to work with.
