ntsaint's FJ40 search and build

[fountainhead]

Boo.

I've had the entire steering system on the pig apart this past week/weekend. Just part of it I guess.

West Texas will get it right for you.

They always put up a fight the closer you get to the finish.

Lookin' clean AF!

4* caster shims installed today, with some text pointers/help.

Rebuilt steering box shows up tomorrow.

Hope to drive it by the weekend.

If only he knew me 6 years and 71 pages ago, i would have buttoned him up with a nice pre-nup.

 

[ntsaint]

Hahaha. s***.

Don't quit her yet; you'll hate yourself if you do. Regardless of whether you keep her or pass her on in your search for another rig, this little power steering issue will likely not be a part of the story you remember.
