But you can buy that size tap and do it yourself cheaper than $40

well looking for a durango steering box, got my jeep back from over at chaos fab (guys over there are all pretty cool guys, i talked to AK who is the owner for a little this evening, Def a place i will be going back to!)

Anyways, my crossmember is all welded up along with my rock sliders. Also my axle is aligned. Just need to get my steering box in to get the rest done.

As for going to the cook out and wrench party this sunday. I have to work day shift now so i wont be able to make it. But i WILL be there to the trail cleaning event next weekend.

Hope everybody has been driving safe!

Did Ak suggest the Durango box to you?
If you want one, I'd suggest buying new.

He didnt, he said whichever is fine. And the way it looks i am going to go pick up a new one.

Trying to decide if i want to just get another stock steering box or beef it up to the bigger durango one. Suggestions?

Was just curious, when he called me earlier we were talking about them.

If you are going thru the process of changing it out, I would go with a Durango box.

Do you have an aftermarket bumper and using the steering box spacer from JCR? If not, I'd buy one. When you do, some slight grinding and an extra washers are needed to use it with a Durango box.

Well i had a different spacer in there that i noticed when i built my bumper.
I can get a %20 discount at advance through a buddy so i might just grab a durango steering box here very very soon. My steering is HORRIBLE, its all over the road.

After i throw that in and take it to finish the alignment i will need to do the WJ brake booster and put my extended brake lines on and ill be FINISHED.

Then going to start my valve cover update, i have a newer valve cover. I have to order the grommets i need, gasket, and the tubes.



If any of you have Facebook shoot me a add. Just google Joe Darr. Pretty simple lol

And your different spacer, unless changed out, is the stock one.

Thanks, it definitely got stupid out there fast. I hadn't seen real snow in a few years, so it was weird.
