Anyone want to see an attemt on Hydraulic assist for an FJ Cruiser?

It's working great

Had a little troubly getting it bled because of the position of the ram and how tight everything is but its in and drives great.

Base mounts to the axle tube bolts.

Live ends mounts to the tie rod pivot head. I welded it but a tab that acts as a washer between the pivot and the end of the rack is possible.

Best option would be attached to a clevis end with hd steering links with heims.

Not as powerful as a steeRing box setup but still made a huge difference.

Hope you're good at replacing tie rod's cause those things bend at the first real rock you drive over. I would suggest upgrading to solid tie rod and figure out how to put a Tundra tie rod end or something of significance.

Again, like the first post says . Its just a test to see if it could be done.
There are companies that make the hd tie rods.

I'm going with 1 tons as soon as I Have an extra bay available at the shop
