Okay I need an orbital but which one and what the difference between self generating and not. Do I need to change my steering pump to hydraulic pump for more volume? Which size ram work the best 2x8 or smaller. Its a trail rig only.If you have any pics that would be greatly appreciated. What over parts besides this do I need. Thanks for any help Rob <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> Also one last thing how do you hook your steering shaft to the orbital.

heres a pic of my setup..i cant remember the exact out put of the vavle but i think it was like 3.5 turns and the displacement was like7.3..a self generating valve will let you turn when you have no power,we all used our saginaw pump but you will need to run a cooler <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

where the pics?? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">

sorry here

can it be hooked to the steering shaft i have now?if a made a bracket or adapter

You need a front axle to hook it all up to <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

shit dont remind me, just trying to get all the parts together incase it ever gets delivered <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

i think you can buy just the steering column part and cut the splines off and use them..or i think ive heard that they sell just the splined part..

cool I m goin to a hydro store tomarrow to check out part and prices

i think i ended up spending about 450 -500 $total its a damn good option though.

not bad thats about what i figure. Do i need any pressure valve control vavles or anything like that. If anyone has pics of there setup plz show me thnx <IMG SRC="smilies/skull.gif" border="0">

or a check valve? and what do they do? <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

any one have any other pics of how they mounted their orbital???

you shouldnt need any check valves or control valves.you will need to have a line made up that goes from the high preesure end of your pump to the orbital valve,then you will need a return(from the valve back to the pump)that is probably the line you want to put your cooler in..then you need two more hoses,one from the pump for left hand steering,one from the pump for right hand steering..i believe the orbital valve is marked on the backwith four letters: L will be for left,R will be for right,P will be for pressure,T will be for tank...

err.... the other 2 hoses go From the orbit valve R and L ports to the cylinder, not From the Pump...
I use a pressure gauge and a temp gauge also. I also have a flow control valve on the return side (for pre-loading the cylinder) and a pressure relief valve in the line from the pump to the orbit valve (for a safety bypass), but you can get away without them.

Yeh when is your axel supposte to arive. I want to see this thing. From the pics it looks burley but how would i know, right. <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

Hey thanks for all the help and robbie you might get yur axle in before i even get mine damn it <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

come awn someone has to have pics of their system mainly the orbital mount. Does anyone know where you can get the shaft to mount to the orbital every shop I talk to is lost

If you get a column that is made for the valve you are useing, you just need to hack off the steering wheel portion and weld any other column to it...I mounted my valve behind the dash, but you can mount it anywhere you want...

cool thanx

Dude, you want Hydro parets, call Alan, FJ Junkie. you can get a hold of him here or on his website www.crawltec.com (http://www.crawltec.com) He has all the parts, and can explain everything to you
