Hydro assist

I've searched and didn't find if anyone has done this on an 80.

Anyone been successful in drilling the 80 steering box?

should be about the same as drilling an FJ60 box or an IFS box. All basically the same.

Search on pirate for a couple threads about porting FJ60 boxs.

Christo did the cleanest job on the shortbus for the UA. I think its full hydro now but the axle work is nice.

Yea, I saw that when I was searching it's a really clean job. I don't want to go full hydro because I still drive mine to work a coulpe days a week.

Check out this link. The boxes are very similar. I had mine apart to rebuild and should have drilled then.
