One of the biggest challenges when building a custom vehicle is getting the steering wheel exactly where you want it.
Whether you're building a rock bouncer, Ultra4 car, Jeep chassis, race car, drift car, or custom street project, driver comfort and steering position can make a huge difference in how the vehicle feels behind the wheel. Factory steering columns often force builders to work around fixed lengths, awkward angles, and bulky housings that simply don't fit modern custom chassis designs.
That's exactly why we developed the Wide Open Design Adjustable Tilt Steering Column with Orbital Mount. In this video, Adam walks through the features of the WOD Universal Tilt Steering Column and explains how builders can position the steering wheel exactly where they want it during fabrication without being limited by factory steering column designs.

Designed for Custom Builders
Unlike OEM steering columns that dictate where everything must be located, this system was designed specifically for fabrication projects.
The column can be shortened during installation, allowing builders to determine the final steering wheel location based on:
• Seat position
• Driver height
• Dash layout
• Chassis design
• Steering system configuration
• Entry and exit clearance
The result is a steering system that fits the vehicle instead of forcing the vehicle to fit the steering system.
Adjustable Tilt for Driver Comfort
The WOD Steering Column features approximately 40 degrees of tilt adjustment using an adjustable gas shock system.
This allows drivers to fine tune steering wheel position for:
• Trail riding
• Rock crawling
• Racing
• Long-distance rides
• Multiple drivers
Whether you're climbing steep ledges or spending all day on the trail, the steering wheel can be positioned where it feels most natural.
Built for Full Hydraulic Steering
One of the most unique features of this column is the included orbital valve mount.
Builders can run the column as a traditional steering column or integrate a PSC orbital valve directly into the assembly for full hydraulic steering systems.
Compatible with:
• PSC 4.75" Orbital Valve Stem
• PSC Steering Wheel Quick Release
• PSC 3/4"-30 Steering U-Joints
By mounting the orbital directly to the column assembly, packaging becomes cleaner and steering components stay compact and organized.
Built for Long-Term Durability
The steering column utilizes bronze bushings for smooth operation and long service life.
Additional features include:
• Universal weld-in design
• Weld-ready mounting tabs
• Adjustable steering shaft extension
• Orbital valve mounting plate
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Adjustable gas shock support
Everything is designed around custom fabrication and real-world off-road abuse.
Perfect For Nearly Any Custom Build
We've seen this steering column used in:
• Rock Crawlers
• Rock Bouncers
• Ultra4 Cars
• Jeep Tube Chassis Builds
• Race Cars
• Drift Cars
• Drag Cars
• Street Rods
• Custom Trucks
• One-Off Fabrication Projects
When you're building a custom vehicle, flexibility matters. This steering column gives builders complete control over steering wheel placement, driver comfort, and steering system layout while maintaining the strength and durability needed for serious use.
If you're tired of fighting factory steering columns, the WOD Universal Tilt Steering Column gives you the freedom to build it exactly the way you want it.
