Where to tap a 60 box?

[euclid]

Sorry, didn't get to it b4 nightfall. I'll get it tomorrow.

Helping a buddy replace a clutch on his 60, got busy, then has some cold beers. Tomorrow.

no worries man... I know how it goes, especially when you add the cold ones!

I highly doubt you'll get more than 6" of throw out of your steering. I have a 6" ram, but have spacered it down to about 5.5" of throw w/ marlin high steer arms. I would highly recommend the rocklogic ram kit.

This is a rebuilt Scout box ported for hydro assist by PSC Motorsports:

I just had my 4 bolt saginaw box rebuilt and ported by West Texas Offroad. I am going to be using the 6" ram.

Look for a build up thread. I will be installing it and doing a bunch of other mods to my cruiser for the next wheeling season.

Yes sir, I'm running the rocklogic 6" kit on my SOA fj62 with chromo longs and marlin high steer. I can try to get a couple shots this afternoon.

you guys are great thanks!!!

 

[euclid]

A few blury shots. Hope they help.

Top one and middle one are shot from right behind the box. Between the box and firewall. You can see the port, right next to one of the 4 top bolts.

Bottom shot shows the other port location.

Looks like the exact same spots as an IFS box... Thanks Greg.

the "O" in Toyoda, and the flat spot next to the top cap...

Looking forward to trying this next week.

Got these pics from this thread on pirate...

I don't know if you ever got that pitman off but it takes a good 5lb hammer and about 45 minutes of constant pounding. Or at least that's what it took me.

On the pitman arm puller...

Everything else is a waste of time and money.

Yeah, I finally got my lazy butt up and filled my oxy/ace tanks and got some heat on the pitman and got it off. Now on he tappin!

A very timely thread for me. I was going to fork over the $$$ to West Texas OR this summer for this. This helps with my DIY train of thought though. I finally got a spare FJ60 box to use for this.

 

[euclid]

I was going to do mine, but after 15 mins of pounding I sent it and $150 to WTOR.

X2 - i don't own one, but i borrow one from a mechanic friend.. Works every time in about 1 minute.. no pounding, no undue stress on the rest of the box..
