thats good to hear. I am leaning more towards getting it still. I was listening to some friends comments about "what if the sector shaft breaks..." ... but they don't have hydro assist. With the hydro assist there isn't as much pressure on the steering box or sector shaft anyway.

Good to see you posting on here and thanks for the reassurance


We are just working on the little details now before sending it to Joe. Stuff like the radiator is in... the battery tray is fabbed (coolest battery tray I've ever seen!)... still to do before the stretch is basically just welding the hydro ram tabs and making the front track bar. Only 2 or 3 more weeks and this goes to Joe Daro for the stretch and a Line-Lok for the rear brakes (since my e-brake cables don't stretch that far back).

Then I get to take it out on Daro's B-DAY run in late Dec. Will be the new rigs maiden voyage! so exciting

Quality Silicone hose kits for Jeep.


Ordered a mean green alternator that should arrive soon. Will work nicely with a Sears DIehard Platinum and the Warn xp

this 4qt overflow was too big to fit anywhere. ha. I purchased it before checking with Hunter to see if we could find room for it.

So I quickly ordered a 2qt version which is about 2" narrower. I take it to the shop and its still TOO BIG. Unless I mount it to the front bumper.

Okay, so third time is a charm. this time I actually consulted with Hunter before purchasing. We browsed through the summit catalogs and found a nice 1qt 3" round tube shaped Moroso overflow recovery tank that fits perfectly.

So, anyone want to buy some bling overflow tanks? I've got about a month left to return them according to Summit's return policy. But if someone could use one then I don't mind selling them cheap to good friends on here. (I paid about $100 each for them, ouch! but would sell them for half that plus shipping). They come with a bunch of different fittings. These are true recovery tanks meaning they work just like the oem. but these are nicer Let me know. In a couple weeks I'll be packaging them back up to send to Summit for refund.
