So things change, availability of parts changes, prices change... given all of that I'm getting ready to do Saginaw PS on my 40 and wanted to explore options based on current and anticipated future availability of parts. I HAD a pretty god take on this a few years ago but I've heard FJ60 boxes are hard to come by (?) and the other options below seem like thy might be solutions that were viable once but are less and less so in 2021.
The stock steering had already been removed by the PO and a manual Saginaw bos installed. Currently that box and bracket has been removed. None of the existing Saginaw stuff remains.
Truck will likely run 36" rubber and will do some mild rock crawling, it will remain spring under.
So... given this blank slate and the desire to have options for parts I am looking for recommendations for the box end of things from those that have done PS and have lived to tell the tale. (I'm not interested in electric PS by the way)
I'll PROBABLY use a Saginaw pump (unless another option rises to the top)
Scout?
Astro?
FJ60?
FJ80?
Thanks.
