Hey everybody, I need some help.

I’m wrapping up my build right now and have no idea what was used in my conversion for the Steering. I did install a new Steering box, I need to change all of the tire rod ends and I have no idea if I purchased Toyota or something else, I’ve owned it for 15 years but the previous owner did the installation of the power steering. Thanks in advance.

From the pics you posted, it looks like a stock Toyota setup with a 555 tie rod kit except for the pitman arm. Does the pitman arm side at the pump look modified? I don't know enough about the Saginaw swapping setup but that one looks... "beefier"? No stock steering stabilizer because of said pitman arm.

Thanks for the reply.
Not sure what a stock setup would look like. My only fj.

The pitman arm is new, I swapped the one previously installed as I swapped from SOA to stock setup SUA.

I’ll see if I can see any numbers on the tie rod ends.

Thank you. I did of course, I found that there were a few ways to set up the system after conversion.

My trans adapter was built by Downey. I searched for a week and and found nothing until I posted a picture.

Same issue here. I figured I would post a picture in case someone recognized the 18 year old setup.
I have owned it for about 15 years and never drove it until I started the restoration 12 months ago.

Hopefully I can figure this out quickly as I only have tires and exhaust left to sort out.

Thanks for the help and advice.
