I went wheeling near Mt. Rainier for three days this past weekend. On one section I smacked the upper part of the front drivers side tire (I am SOA, 78 FJ40) on a tree rootball and it went BANG! No steering! The impact blew apart the bolts holding the Saginaw PS box to the mounting bracket. Did manage a trail fix and get home...
I am looking for ideas to build a brace for the Saginaw box between the frame rails. The box I have is a three bolt box. I want to beef this up as the threads in the box bolt holes are pretty much shot. I will find the best bolts and nuts I can to tighten the box to the mounting bracket. When I have the luxury funds I will later upgrade to the 4x4 Lab stuff. But for now I want to build a strong brace. Any ideas or photos out there?
Thanks!
