Ross Steering Box Removal?

Is it possible to remove the Ross box in an early 5, through the floor? In other words, it looks like with the trans tunnel / floor panels removed, there would be enough room to pull the box.

Of course, I could just get started and see if it’s possible, but I’d rather not get it torn apart only to find out it can’t be done.

Thanks!

 

Sure. Take the side off the box, should slide out

 

4 cylinder of V6? On my V6, it was possible to pull it out the bottom after removing the turn signal, steering wheel, and left-most floorbaords, but I could not get it out the top. I have no idea about a 4 cylinder Jeep.

 

I don't think you will be able to do that regardless of whether a 4 Cylinder or V6, but it isn't hard to remove them underneath, if the Jeep is up on stands or ramps. You just have to turn it a little to clear stuff. I always remove the driver side fender for this, makes it a lot easier to get to everything.

 

This is a V6. If it will come out through the bottom, that’s fine too. I’ve only ever removed them when the entire tub off the frame.

Thanks!

 

I had to take off the exhaust to get mine out through the bottom.

 

I usually pull mine up through the floor pan up into the cab. With my 64 cj5/f134, you can pull the whole thing up as a unit with the steering wheel attached too!
