    Porting steering box for hydro assist

    I ended up doing it myself, porting the box and not the cap is preferred. I think the cap is more prone to cracking on you. It wasn't bad at all, just took my time and was careful not to lose any ball bearings for the worm gear.

    Porting steering box for hydro assist

    This is on a saginaw box, it looks like there are good reference points for where to drill, it's the disassembly and reassembly that looks a little challenging.

    Porting steering box for hydro assist

    How hard is it to do, or should I send it out to have done?

    Q's about toy front housing

    Hey James, I had the same problem on my Landcruiser a while back. I was having a hell of a time trying to install a set of Longfields that I bought, and that's when I figured it out. I ended up getting a new housing from a buddy, and added Marlin's gussets near the balls. You could try...

    1 ton master brake cylinder on a toyota

    Did you adjust the rod on the brake booster to effectively engage the MC? The pedal shouldn't particularly hard if the booster is working properly. Did you bench-bleed the MC to make sure it was moving fluid properly? Good luck, David

    Tire/wheel advise

    I'm in the process of getting Nitto Terra Grappler AT's for my daily driver. For an all-terrain tire they look pretty aggressive. $130 per tire at discount tire.

    whats the best spray in bed liner?

    Depending on your budget, there's a couple of different options. I ended up using Duplicolor's version, using a $10.00 undercoating spray gun from Harbor Freight. As other's mentioned, it's all about the prep work. Do a crappy job on prepping the surface, and it's not going to stick too well...

    Quick th350 question-dipstick

    Silly question, just trying to wrap up a th350 install and trying to figure out how far the dipstick tube is supposed to insert into the tranny. There's the little rubber o-ring, then the metal lip on the tube a little further up. Is it supposed to drop all the way down to the lip? I'm having...

    ARB locker question

    Thanks guys, sounds like there's (as usual!) no one way to do it. I don't want to go through the hassle of running the lines directly to the compressor if its going to burn out from cycling on and off more often. At the same time, I don't feel like finding a spot for a tank under the truck if...

    ARB locker question

    How many of you are running your lockers directly from a compressor, versus a secondary tank that gets filled by the compressor? Thanks, David

    driveline questions

    I've heard "Fleet Pride" in South Seattle worked out pretty well with a couple folks.

    4.3 swap

    Shane, Sounds like you've got a good project on your hands. Did you already buy the AA adaptor? Just wondering if you're sold on sticking with the toyota transmission and transfer case? You could put the adaptor money towards GM drivetrain parts.

    Anti-wrap/traction bar options?

    Actually, that was one thing I was curious about- is there a difference whether the upper or lower end of the shackle is hard-mounted? I'd think it'd work the same either way, no? I guess it'll change the angle of the traction bar a fair amount.

    Landcruiser question.

    On my '73, I don't recall the cap being centered like that, should be to the passenger side. I bought an ugraded rad. from Cool Cruisers, slips right into that U-shape bracket.

    Anti-wrap/traction bar options?

    Thanks guys. Just to double check, you want the bar to be parallel to the drive shaft, right? It was sort of hard to tell from the pics- could you show how you hung the shackle from the stock crossmember?

    Anti-wrap/traction bar options?

    Currently doing a spring-over on my fj40, and looking for input on what you all have done for anti-wrap bars. I'm using this on the axle: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/antiwraptraction-bars-c-24.html and will be tying it in to a crossmember right behind the transfer case. I...
