hoping to finish power steering tonight and if I do I'll try to post some pics

[ar15tac]

Power steering is done.

And it is truly a gift from the god's I love it.  It took about five to six hours but a big part of that was because i didn't have the right tools a pickle fork to take the pitman arm off.  Then holding everything by myself prolly caused me to take another hour extra pr, more if i could have had some help for about thirty minutes, i think the whole thing could be done in about 2-3 hours.  I have only used it for like five minutes but i went on a little course by my house with a two foot rock and a whole bunch of rough terrain.  It was so nice the P.S. didn't have any issues and gave me tons more control, and i didn't feel any power difference.  I did notice that there is a little more play in the steering wheel in the straight position.  Once is turned either way it goes away.  But i think this will be useful, once on the trial and hitting rocks the wheel won't be launching side to side.  I honestly couldn't have spent a better 135 dollars seriously if you don't have ps and go on trails you will love it.  It's very nice in the city as well but on trails a huge difference.

I will have pics of it up soon as well.

dont use a picklefork yo take off the pitman arm, get a pitman arm puller. you'll screw up the box with the fork

[ar15tac]

To late but what does one look like the pickle for i used said it was for pitman arms...  how does it mess it up?

[locjaw]

a pitman arm puller pulls the arm aginst the shaft, a picklefork pushes the arm from the body of the steering box

[ar15tac]

O I see that does sound like a better idea.

Hey There,
How is your front diff holding up? I went through a few with just 31's on my truck...
Do you have an idler arm brace? Looks pretty decent. I want to cram 33's under a tracker, but need it as a daily driver so it would kill fuel mileage without proper gearing (expensive) and tear front diffs out..

Hi there to you to.

I don't know what an idler arm brace is so prolly not, but tell me and i'll look.
With the 33 i still get 22-23 ish, and that was before i changed my plugs.  But what do you get with 31s. 

I haven't been to any real serious rock crawling so the front diff is fine for now... I don't have a front locker, so I can't see it blowing up but you never now.  I can do 55 if I'm in fourth gear  and 45 in fifth gear but I want to get 31s some day cause it is a daily driver.  But if they were at's  not mt's my mileage and power would be better.  What i would love it to lower my t case for off road.  That would help a lot with  power and clutching.
