and and i think all you will need after that is a auto tranny cooler from kragen and your good to go.
Being the cheap ass I am. I copied Bobs years ago. :
stock p- pump
used orbital from Acme truck in Stockton
cheap tranny cooler
cheap spin on 1 qt. filter and base from napa
single ended ram
steering colum from Northern ( but some d-shaft and a heim would work just as good)
quick disconnect for wheel
steering wheel found in a dumpster

I use these guys for all my rebuildable fittings and hose. Super cheap. I use R1 hose. Like a buck/ft. Good to 2000 psi. hydro hose has a saftey factor of 4 so I am not worried about blow a line behind a stock p-pump that only puts out around 1000 psi. ( I made an inline gauge and tested the pressure side if the pump. With the motor at idle and around 2000 rpms.)
Come look at mine if you want.
Not the best set up but I have been rocking it for almost 8 years now. Long before POS and PSC were around.
Oh I have a new single ended 2 x10 " ram that I am willing to trade.
well, now i guess i should go get some beer and cut it off so it will force me to do it.
i already run a cooler and filter,
hmmmmm........
Do it...
All the cool kids are.
the cool kids also get thier shocks tuned.
well its not cut yet but i keep lookin at it, ugggggggg

so bring the orbital and beer, mmm beer.
What a day. got the cruiser outside and cleand up. drove it around for 20min. all was well till i noticd my PS leak progressd to a stream. ugg. back in the garage, pulld the box to snugg up the fittings and a nice crack in the front cap. sure i could fix it or even get the billet cap ( would have to notch more bumper) and still have the same steering. said fawk it and pulld it all off. going to fix the box later and trasfer the set up to the lil jeep.
hmm no wonder my winch suckd at times.
bye bye winch
bye bye bumper
new approach
time to collect some parts.... :thumbsup:
I like it, no need for a winch when you have all your boys around with straps.....I think lol looks good jiM
sick
Full hydro on a trail rig is definitely the way to go!
looks good you gonna keep the winch for limit strap ?
if not i call dibs , might have some shit you need
yes im keepn the winch 4 now.
bumper 90% done, ran out of wire and beer,
what mite you have that i need?
i need -
1 inch plate
hose + fittings
plan is to mount ram behind axel to the tie rod , pretty much as it is now but wth new mounts. orbital ill be on frame next to the pump.
parts collected, :boobs:
bumper done
yeh weld.
orbital should be mounted tonight. :booze:
mount done, weld in the am.
Wow neat mount! :thumbsup:
HAHAHA nothing but the best quality thinking juice.lol
I like the mount
today was slow, welded the mount and hookd up the shaft. did some grinding
Looking good!!
I think the can should be a permanent fixture! Maybe a hood ornament...

boooo!
jiMMy, i didnt even know you could weld...lookin good

me =welding master duh
well im at a stand still. need to commit to a ram plan.
10 in ram needs to be 8in.
do i?
-drink more
-buy 8in ram = 90$ (no)
-run a 2 in spacer on the outside
-run a 2 in spacer on the inside
-run a 1 in spacer on the outside and a 1in on the inside
-have 2 in cut off the shaft and re thred it.
where can 1 get spacers for a 1 1/8 shaft?
?
:kranker:
lookup hydro steering on the pirate board I know theres stuff in the toyota FAQ on it but there are a few write ups on stops for your ram, most run a little bit bigger ram than needed with stops, some just clamp around the shaft, theres a few different ideas on there
but more of :kranker: wouldnt hurt either
Have Trout machine up a 2" spacer to slide over the shaft.
I used to just drop a piece of tubing inside the ram
made a 2 in spacer and had to put it inside the ram
got it all tackd in place and just have grind a lil more on 1 of the mounts
thanks to hengl for cutting and drillin.
should b burnin it on in the am.
Did you get that washer off?
yup, WB said to hit it like a pirate not a zombie, lol came right off.
bushing added inside the ram
all mounted n welded, waiting on ups for my fittings, lines, and spin on filter.
also fixed my dirt bike today, productive sunday.
test it at PC next saturday!
thats the plan. how much is it to get in?
i think it's $5
Looking good buddy and yes it's $5 bucks to get into PC.
dam those are some sick ram mounts
oh by the way , all behind the axle now :thumbsup: very sick i likeee
:thumbsup:
What are you using for a filter?
i use to run a large inline trany filter,(looked like big fuel filter)
but i orderd this mount and spin on filter.

I had to run a cooler after my spin on too straighten the fluid back out. The fluid leaves the spin on foamed up. The suction line back to my resevoir was only 2 ft long. It kept killing pumps. Foamed fluid doesn't like to be pumped. I added small tranny style cooler, to allow time for the foam to settle out. I imagine if the suction line was long enough the same thing would be accomplished.
all my crap came in, made filtr mount, lines and routed everything. really needed a 90 on 1 side of the ram, oh well
its settling right now after bleeding and 2 cycles, ill get it out of the garage tomorrow and test here, then maybe PC thurs...
no leaks,
cool
bueno, time to hammer down!
shes a runner, so far so good for testing
just got done drivin around the property for an hr goin lock to lock the whole time, seems good to go. :kranker:
Very NICE.....
UPDATE:
well after spining my pump dead at hammers i tore into it.
my end cap had back all the way out of the piston housing, 2 treads left.i tossed the shim, put 2 washers in the bottom of housing, ground the limit stud, drilld out the main fitting and reinstalled.
BAM steering back and better than before.
