Thanks to Darin Johnny and Mike for helping today. The crockpot has pwr steering and now just needs some steering componets to finish it up. Thanks guys!
Whohoo! Meatball's crockpot has power steerin!
Getting started
Parts
Test fitting the custom steering shaft
FJ40 / FJ55 hybrid steering column
Squaring up the holes in the frame
4 holes drilled, sleeved and welded
Painted
Mounted
Hoses and pump installed ( note the denim belt that meatball and Mike picked up )
The only part of the install that Meatball and I overlooked - the relay rod. I thought we'd be able to piece something together with the 60 gear, but we were not successful. This is our temporary solution. The permanent solution will be a custom relay rod that IPOR makes.
Fits so well
Putting her back together
All back together
Like it should have been from the factory
The rest of the pictures can be found below. Thanks for helping and letting us use your shop Darin!

Well the pressure line on the gear box is sticking out a bit but it wont tighten down anymore.
On the back of the pump theres that little plastic plug it looks like it may be comming from there. Not exactly sure. I will take some pics

Leaking at plastic tab. I guess just take it out and put a bolt in there?
Leaking from the gear box at the low pressure side. Tighten clam will see how that works.
Once i fix the leaks i will switch to atf. Or should i stick with the pwr steering fluid?

The absolute best is mobil hydraulic fluid....... but really just throw some atf in there or PS fluid if you have some already.
