72LandRover88 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Back to the Valley for 3 days next week of working on the Landy! Finish changing fluids, a bit more body work (getting rid of the dinky trailer marker lights the previous owner put on the sides...), electronic ignition bits to be installed (maybe make it run a bit cleaner!!) new exhaust to be installed and... my new diff guards just arrived!! Almost ready for another go at bump n' grind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcC Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Tom mounted my 32s. Much smoother street ride, I did the last upper ball joint, removed stupid plastic lower bumper. Aligned it via eye much better then before. Can't wait for the other goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Checked out the power steering issue yesterday, looks like the seal on the PS box is toast - going to look into replacement kits vs. a whole new box. Threw some Lucas leak stop in there for now to hold me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have no idea what those new PS boxes look like, but on my old box it is just a kit, I was able to do it right on the truck after taking the wheel off for access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I know the rebuild kit for my 4runner was only like 60$, Rack like 400$ Scott, like 50 ish dollars... I say re seal it vs a new one... http://www.jcwhitney.com/edelmann-oe-replacement-steering-gear-seal-kit/p3052419.jcwx?filterid=d17204y2007g2j1 Gear box looks like it 300$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
