Power Steering Plans

[REZARF]

Howdy All-

The next big step on the cruiser is power steering conversion. I have located my power box from an 84 Toyota 4x4 pickup. I am thinking of using JT outfitters mounting block.

Here are some areas I need some advice.

I have swapped my 76 fj40 motor with an 85 fj60 2f, I have the power steering pump bracket holes already drilled from the factory and ready to bolt up a factory piece (that I dont have).

Would you convert to the Saginaw pump conversion or run an fj60 pump setup. I like the pressure of the saginaw, and the price. My only concern is leaving Toyota dependability, and having to purchase a new bracket at around 120 bones.

I will be running 35" MTR's.

I will also be moving to Colorado this summer, what do the emmissions laws look like, I am wondering if the JT Pump conversion still allows me to run my emmissions equipment. Thanks for any help in advance!

PS any other things to consider, I know if I mix Toy and Saginaw parts the hoses will need to be made up custom. Anything else I ought to be considering?

Run the Toy pump....save your money/it will work fine, with all your smog junk...


" My only concern is leaving Toyota dependability"


I have been very fortunate with all the used Sag pumps that I have installed over the years...I would not worry about reliability with these...


Good luck!

PS- This conversion has been COVERED out here, MANY times....

Thanks Steve-

Forgot to search this one. I will give it a whirl, it is good to hear the conversion is a good swap for dependability too.

thanks- Rezarf

I am moving to Boulder sometime in late April, early May. I cant wait to get involved in Rising Sun, I am hoping to make it to Cruise Moab. But that will be a crazy time with moving and everything.

Thanks for the invite!

Rezarf-
I've never used their stuff (JT's) but there's been a bit of talk in the last few days about their saginaw brackets on the LCML which would make ME think twice. I'm sure others may have good experiences, just thought I would pass it on. As I said before, no first hand knowledge, etc.
From LCML:
> I have the JT Outfitters Saginaw P/S pump bracket, as do at least two of my
> "cruiser buddies." Two of the three brackets have had the tensioner nut
> break free - from JT's it comes with just one "booger weld" holding the nut
> in place.
>
> I am appreciative of their actions mass-producing these types of brackets,
> but the overall poor quality is making me re-think recommending them to
> other 'cruiser owners.
>
> Just my $00.02

BOULDER!!! THE REPUBLIC OF BOULDER!!! are you a democratic granola eating fruitcake?

we do allow fruitcakes at cruise moab and it's definitely worth it to attend.

Get Bill Dorry's stuff. Way over engineered and does not use the head bolts. Several people, including me, have both the box mount and the Sag pump mount and are happy.

35's????may need just the straight Sag setup. How much wheeling will you do? Generally 35's are the upper limit for the mini setup.
