Cant wait for more!

Only thing that worries me about this whole conversion is the steering part. Going from a rack and pinon to a steering box and plumbing it into the motor somehow, Im a complete dunce when it comes to most stuff like that. Other than that the conversion from what I have seen seems pretty straight forward

[PaMountianbiker]

I plan on using full Hydro steering. No steering box for me.

this is the kit I'm using

here in canada, doing the ful hydro thing would mean the truck would become a trailer queen.... full hydro on the street is illegal here... I guess it`s not the same in the us ??

[PaMountianbiker]

oh its the same it will be an offroad truck when I'm done.. There just comes a point It's too hard to keep it street legal . of all the offroad buggy (jeeps) my friends have the pathy is right there with performance and cost. so I like the pathy platform thats why it's my choice of vehicle to build.

[devonianwalk]

Whoa! $1300 bucks for steering? Hey, I need to eventually replace my steering rack. Maybe I can help you offset that Hydro cost a little? Rockauto wants close to $300 for a reman w/o a core charge. Think about it.

[01silvapathy]

You are going to legit spend 1300 dollars on just steering? Wow

[PaMountianbiker]

What do you guys think a real offroad rig costs to build ???? Between axles tires lockers and yes steering ???? And I am getting that exact kit for about $1000

[PaMountianbiker]

Wow! That is amazing looking!!

[devonianwalk]

Time for the "IFS's suck" sticker. :aok:

[PaMountianbiker]

That is a good Idea !!!!!!!

[seeraedave]

Consider the cost everything around you, $1300 for steering doesn't seem that unreasonable. I need a new 5 speed for my Mustang, $1700. Just bought new bifocals, $800. Groceries for a week and a half, $220. Health insurance, $700/month. On and on. The value of the dollar has dropped hard, we're comparing to when a buck was actually worth something.

 

Nice truck, by the way.

you the man!!

[sroeser01]

Looks like a beast man good job

[Phantom01Pathfinder]
