Steering dilemma

[PaMountianbiker]

well I'm about to start my R50 SAS and I really think I should just do full Hydraulic steering . It seems to make the most sense instead of custom figuring a steering setup using a steering box and such ??? I just don't really want to spend another $1200 What do you all think ?

I think it can be done right for less money man, I see where a bunch of folks are knocking heim or johnny joints, but that is an effective and beffy solution. I did an S10 blazer with 4 3/4 heim joints and some .120 walled DOM tubing. Had around $200 in it, and its STILL running around in town to this day, and that was almost 4 years ago.

 

You can also do a TRE setup, using the same method with junkyard adjusters welded into DOM tubing... Probably cheaper actually...

I was thinking about buying a universal set up and making it work (pump, orbital valve, double ended ram ,links ,tubing , etc)

Full hydro isn't street legal in most states so be aware if u plan to drive it on highway

I know and it's pretty much an offroad truck . I only drive it a couple miles here and there . I have 4 vehicles so no need to drive the pathy I just like to!!
