How do i modify my stock scout box for better steering? I also have a GM saginaw style pump that needs mods to flow more fluid. I'm considering an AGR pump but i want to use my stock box.
Scout II 1979. Thanks.


Why you ask, well i'm running 35 inch boggers and i want better steering. Thanks.

here is two sites to check out

www.westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/powersteering~ns4.html

www.ih8mud.com/tech/ps-ram.html

then do a google search on scout power steering

i found a lot of stuff there researching a scout box swap onto fj40s

Also, I have heard a lot of people complaine about AGR's products...Although you don't always know what to believe. However, at the last Calrocs Comp, I did see a lot of P/S issues and quite a few were AGR set up...just throwing that out there...

Here are two links for you:

Don't touch AGR. I've heard mostly bad about customer service, prices, product etc.

Has anybody done one of these conversions? How difficult was it and did it do the job? Also, where can i pick up a ram for a good price? What size do you recommend?
Also, can someone show me exactly where i need to drill for the hydro fittings. The pics in the link only show me the one in the front part of the box. Thanks.
