Uncharted Territory....

I wanted PS on the Jeep and ended up ditching any Saginaw design. Looked at my buddys EB and liked what he was running. I'll end up with better steering shaft routing, power steering, and the ability to tap for hydro assist if I ever want to R)

Any guesses as to what it is?

 

CHEATER! you saw my facebook.

 

yes you do...

i'm too lazy to copy the pics from my facebook to here right now. go look how close the pitman arm will be to my front tire. I'll be mo happy with either some wheel spacers or such.

 

thoughts?

 

Metric on a flattie? Just sayin! now you need two sets of tools

 

Meh...I worked on VW's for a while in there

 

Why not a saginaw?

 

Sammy more power to ya, but I have to agree with Neptco. How are you routing the shaft and lines? drilling threw the grill? Should be interesting to see what you come up with. v8 looks good in there!

 

Well, I would go Saggy but there's some fatal issues with it. My steering shaft would then either run through my radiator, or the box would be mounted so low that it would drag on speed bumps. The yota box would give me much better steering shaft routing.

 

Sammy in your pic with your finger showing the clearence on FB it shows some major issues your going to have. The tire will hit it when it flexes up and you are turned. If I were you I'd either get a scout/ford box that mounts on the outside like that but has a forward facing pitman arm, that will cure the cutting a hole for the steering shaft and the tire clearence. Or I'd find a way to make a Sag. box fit. Or you can keep the IFS toy box and roll it flatter, only prob is it will move the pitman farther forward and into your spring hanger more.

It can be done, but make sure to use a u joint on the last joint going on the splines or you'll break the input shaft

 

And they dont hang that low.

 

This is awsome, Im putting a toyota box in my cj5 next week. Like to see how it works for you. .. . but I dont think Im going to have the issues your gonna have(stock axles right?), Im running toy axles.
