Hey all. I've spent a lot of time researching the forums for info on this (and watching youtube videos), but I really want the advice from this crew (as I know a few of you have done it). My big three to-dos are 1 disc brakes, 2 power steering, and 3 put in a 4-speed. As you can imagine there are a ton of solutions out there. One I looked at the seemed most popular was through Cruiser Outfitters:
From their email:
"Sagniaw Power Steering Conversion Kits.
Cruiser Outfitters - http://cruiseroutfitters.com/powersteering.html
(complete install kit is $432)
We do offer disc brake conversion kits using all Toyota parts. They upgrade your knuckles, birfield axles, hubs and of course your brakes. Kits start ~$1500 and go up to $2500 (if you want all new parts for example)"
Has anyone used Cruiser Outfitters before? Is it best to go with all new parts for the brakes (i'd rather pay now, than pay more later). Any red flags you can think of?
(i haven't done my research yet on the 4-speed)
Thanks in advance for the advice,
Rob
