All: Any other options for this hose? 80 bucks seems a bit much for this hose. :S I assume regular pressure/bulk power steering hose can't be used because of the angles required?

I thought I remembered seeing someone on here that ran a FJ60 pump with a Saginaw gear. Can't find the thread. Would a FJ60 be enough? Would it be better to just use a GM pump? It will be going on a 79 block that has the mounting holes for a stock pump. A 60 pump would bolt up with the...

I have this manual steering gear, free to anyone who wants to pay the shipping on it. It was working fine when removed from the truck for the PS mod.

I'm doing the mini-truck power steering conversion on my '75 FJ40 and have gathered all the parts that I believe I will need. I've read romer's thread and it was very helpful. Just wanted to make sure I have everything before I start so I don't have to make trips to the parts store or...

I was working on my power steering. I replaced the HP line, pump, and the silicon for the lines that from the gear box to the cooler and from the cooler to the reservoir. I started it up to bleed the system last night and it ran awful. The steering was loose at first and then began to...

Found these on eBay... Wondering if they will work in my 2004 - with the steering wheel controls... Anyone ever do it? Any pics? Any feedback?

I am getting close to pulling the trigger on PS. I found a rebuilt factory gearbox with the pitman arm and lines, but no pump. Is it best to go the factory route or opt for a FJ60 conversion? I am running 33" tires, BTW. I was told that the factory option still has the potential for a lot of...

Hi, I am not sure if someone has tried before, but I am planning on adding new leather to my steering wheel, I have seen some videos in you tube instructing how to sew, so I am going to give it a try. I already remove the old leather that was all full of holes and the good thing is that the...

All parts are off of a 1977 Fj40 except the windshield. If you don't like the price, shoot me an offer. I can send more pictures if you need. Buyer pays for shipping. Drum brake parts (freshly painted)- $175 for both front and rear pairs. Rear leaf spring seat (freshly painted)- $40 pair...

Started this winter, thought it was just hitting a plastic housing/trim piece and rubbing, creating a squeal. Got worse, can't find where it's rubbing. No functionality lost, just annoying as hell. Is this an 80 series thing? Does anyone else have this problem, or is it something wrong with...

Need the bracket that bolts to the left side of the block and holds the pump

So I dropped the LX off at the dealer yesterday for a routine service check and oil change. The truck has 83K miles after 7 years. They found that I have a power steering leak and a leaking rack and pinion. :censor: This last one blew my mind, as this truck has been regularly serviced, minor...

Little used leaf springs , shocks and steering dampener. Local pickup -will not ship. I am in South Fla,

Just had the rack replaced with a brand new oem toyota rack and new tie rod ends as well as the steering hoses. Things feel great but I have a question. With the old rack you could see the whole rack shifting side to side visibly when turning the steering left and right. Moved maybe 1/4 inch or...

Anyone else excited about this as I am???? Finally a viable solution to our steering woes!!!! Ill be calling them on monday for a bit more information hopefully some more pictures -trunion bearing upgrades to 25mm!!!! -keyed steering arms!!! finally taking the weight off the studs and onto the...

Got the LC stuck today, after getting pulled out some strange clunking noises came from the front end. It went away in neutral and we were able to coast down the mountain into cell coverage to call a tow truck. When in gear it's a very violent shudder and clunk when and steering input is...

1983 FJ60 steering column with steering wheel. Includes shaft from column to steering box. Grey in color, good but not show quality condition. Here is actual pic. $100 plus shipping.

97 Cruiser really needs a reseal of the steering box, it is leaking at both ends. I am debating cracking it open and resealing it myself, or shipping it off to West Texas Offroad or Benchmark. For those that have done similar jobs, would you do it again/would you do differently the next time...

My 96 80 the steering wheel is loose. Not my steering/handling but the wheel itself. The column has very minimal play up and down but some. I've had the wheel off multiple times but never really saw anything. When I grab at 12 and 6 on the wheel you can see the nut and wheel move together...

Started to notice some little oil drops on my garage floor, but didn't think much of it. Then I found a small puddle and decided to investigate. Lo and behold, the passenger side of the steering rack was covered in gunk and dripping. I guess after 160k its not completely unexpected. I had the...
