beats workin out! haha... after a full day of wheelin my arms felt like they were about to fall off

the power steering isn't what scares me, it's the bent up drag-link (someone please insert the "scary steering link" here if possible)

Yepp... I know it's scary. There's alot of scary s*** on this rig... Altho I will say I have seen alot of Z bar drag links on rigs and they work fine for a band aid.... It's definetly not staying that way nor is it our handy work. This rig whas jerry-rigged by prev. owner. That's what we get for buyin somethin off of Ebay tho....

We've been working out all the problems little by little... you shoulda seen the crooked homemade rear driveshaft. It was ridiculous. The floor has been re-skinned under the drivers seat with the side of a maytag washer or dryer...

Wish I could join you for KK5...but like you I'm still busy getting my rig together for Flat and Nasty the following weekend.

As for meetings...we really on meet once a year in the winter. The rest of the time we just wheel.

Ok misunderstood the reply about a workout lol. I remember you said it was on the list for sure earlier. [shameless plug]4x4Labs has some really good products[/shameless plug]. I do actually have the marlin crossover arms myself which also work well.

The box was a 60 box, and it was fullnelson on here who did the swap. I also think that Sarfari Ltd in Grand Junction has done one or two of them too.

Hey, at least you get to wheel your dad's rig!

The 60 power steering is one of my favorite mods to my 40 series, next to my Turbo . Hugh at Safari-Ltd. changed from his Saginaw setup to the 60 box on his 45 short bed and has also been really happy. Poorwally's in Bennington, VT did the conversion for me. The key is to reinforce the frame horn where the box is to be mounted. 1/4" plate from the shock tower to the bumper is what I got, and it has held up great for about 5 years so far.
