| Damn Sweaty, you got a clean box! This is the
new to me steering box that I got from Mini Truck (local junk yard) for $200, getting a cleaning and painting.
|  |
| Kiss that stock steering good-bye!
|  |
| You can barely see the Jerry-rigged set up.
The confused U-bolt that has been cut and welded in place as a L-bolt
|  |
| Cuttin' off the torque rod mounting bracket, not very
clean, I had to go back and do it again
|  |
| Test fitting the steering box after drilling for
hours, everything looks good!
|  |
| Comparing reinforcement plates.
|  |
| Why running a boot on shocks is a bad thing...stupid rust
|  |
| Bumpass hard at work while I take pictures
|  |
|
|  |
| All spot welded up. We decided to make two reinforcement
plates one on each side of the frame rail.
|  |
| All painted up, chicks dig he properly painted
IFS steering box mounting hardware

| Front view of an un-painted hysteer system, and my
boots

my boots

| Pic of the gusset that Bumpass made for me
|  |
| Measurements if you want to copy what Bumpass did for me
|  |
| Fuzzy pic of the bottom part of the gusset from the
front
|  |
| Better shot of the gusset, with the skid plate removed
|  |
| Another, this piece is intended to prevent the frame from
tweeking under pressure...bad
|  |
| Mount that Bumpass made for the stabilizer
|  |
| Final product, very nice. I call this pic Monster Truck
vs Metro
|  |
| Doh! Body movement wore away at my radiator and the
reinforcement bracket, no biggie.
|  |
| Popped some sodder on and ground down the bracket.
