does anyone here have 4 wheel steering on their jeep
ive thought about this and i know its expensive for hydraulic(spelling?) steering but my uncle could fab something up for me if it is worth it

also, do you just put steering knuckles on your rear axle with appropriate axleshafts?

is it possible to have it rigged up to where you can turn it on and off?

Dude you live in TX so do I no need for that here unless you do like ARCA events, but you wouldnt want to do it unless you had a rear Dana 60 for knuckle strenth, you could indeed use a Dana 44 rear but you wouldnt want to run a tire over 37 inches. If you use a 60 or 44 rear, it would need re-tubed, and the pumpkin would need to be centered, then go from there, this swap is not cheap, and I would get a profesional off-road shop to do this, not just any off-road shop, one that has done a few of theese setups.:skull:

why does the diff have to be centered?

I have thought about doing this, and someday I may try it. My thought was to use a pair of hydraulic cylinders. Put one on the rear axle connected to the tie rod and a second on up front connected to the pitman arm. I would then use valves that would allow the rear wheels to steer with the fronts or opposite of them or not at all. I would probably also include a manual link so I could lock them in the straight ahead position.

To answer your other question, I don't see why you couldn't take some knuckles off a front axle and put them on a rear axle. In my case I was thinking about using a narrowed Ford front axle turned around. The Offsett would be just about right with my D18. But like I said, it's all theory right now, no actual experience.

thats pretty much exactly what i was thinking
but i didnt think about being able to lock them straight
i think it would work
if i had the time, money, and extra axle now i would attempt it
