Which S-10 box did ya get? I was noticing the talking about two versions.

 

Interesting. I've heard about this mod before, but it isn't anywhere as prominent as the Durango so I kind of dismissed it. I'll definitely look into it. Any certain years or models best?

 

Depending on which one you get, of the two s-10 boxes, one is a quicker ratio when steering. Other than that any one will work.

Here is a snipit from a Facebook group:
S10(pre 96) Steering Box = Stronger than XJ box, bolt in capable, more turning radius than Durango
(Durango has brass bushings, S-10 has dual ball bearings, and is more powerful. Definitely brace the unibody, and start thinking about 1-ton steering.)

Appreciate the info TeXJ. Going to do some more reading, but I may give it a shot.

 

np, i just did a WJ power steering pump upgrade and am thinking of getting a steering box, but not sure how to tell if mine needs replacing or not.

 

Sweet rig. Looking good. SUBBED

 

roninofako read your updates this morning and followed the link from your build thread, both of your guys rigs are the inspiration for building mine out.

 

Aw, shucks...LOL

 

Really diggin' that cav 3 link... well... diggin' the whole build overall. I like your choices thus far.

 

Thanks! Been following your build as well. Great job on the D30 revamp

Appreciate it, glad I decided to make a thread then

Thanks, the 3 link is by favorite piece so far as well. Been extremely busy so progress prepping for stiffeners has been slow the past week.

 

Thanks!

Stiffeners are definitely some work. To do them right takes time. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

 

New parts. My perfectionist side got the best of me. Swapping out the JCR Tail light armor for the full integrated quarter armor with rub rail. Knew it was going to happen. Should've just went with the full armor in the first place...

 

Agreed! These are my two favorite builds to follow at the moment. Gotta get Jeepology to start bangin some work out though! LOL! Just messin!

Oh yeah! Mine should ship out on Wednesday. So pumped!

Can you make a trip to Michigan and weld in my stiffeners when I get them? I don't know any competent welders, and I REALLY want stiffeners!

Ok, I'll stop muddying up the thread. I'm at work with nothing to do.

 

I'll have some help this weekend so there should be some solid progress
