Just dedcided, cross over steering...
Well, as some of you may know, I'm in the process of rebuilding the ENTIRE front end of my Jeep. I was planning on going back with all stock parts on the steering, but after pricing everything, I found that I can build a cross over set up for close to the same amount of money. That makes it a pretty darn easy decision!! Once I get all of the parts for the rebuild, I'll be posting all of it as I go, so stay tuned!!

I expect a full writeup myself. Only thing I'd have to do different maybe is not use the tube adablters and just tap the tubing and such since i can't weld. Plus I don't know anyone around that can atm..

Will do!!
I didn't have access to all of the taps, and a 3/4" reverse thread tap is not cheap!! It made it a pretty easy decision for me!! I like the fact that I got the hex tube adapters, that way I can get a wrench on there, instead of boogering it all up with a pipe wrench. With .250" D.O.M. tubing, and a couple of rosette welds in addition to the full weld at the base of the tube adapters, it should be plenty stout when complete!!

I guess I need to get one of my own huh?? I really want one, and could prolly make a litlle cabbage on the side, but I just flat don't have a place to put one!! I've already done the math, and for less than 5K in tools, I could have a *****in shop, that I could do almost anything in!! That's really not that much in the grand scheme of things!! OK, so anyone got 5K burnin a hole in their pocket.....anyone??
