I want to go power steering( and I have a line on two different boxes both for about $100 ),
However, eventually, I would like to go rock ram.

Has anyone done a home-brew rock ram off of a track kick box? how about a celica box? I know that people have done it off of an IFS "Goat" (read: ToyoDa) box but what about the two most popular and kit offered boxes?


Pictures are always nice :D

oh yeah .. and :flipoff2:

Lurk mode back own

back in the day when i was wheeling a blazer, i read on a s10 board about a guy tapping the caps on a saganaw box and hydrolic lines to a cylnder from a hardware store, he said it was a pretty easy settup, no experience myself though CYA!!

Do a search in the generall 4x4 area youl find pics of everything your lookin for with a sag box and toy IFS box Im in the process right now. the 2 wheel dr. toy IFS box puts out more PSI then the 4x4 but it can be remedied also dont go any larger then a 1.5" ram or it get very slow 2" ram are for anything 44 and larger.

I was talking to the boys at Spidertrax a few weeks ago and they are developing a ram assist setup that uses an AGR pump and ram and the celica box. The price was actually pretty decent for a turn key setup...around 600 for everything.

I'm running a tracker pump and a celica box right now. I may switch to something else later. I think $600 for a modified box, a new pump, and a new ram, and all of the brackets is pretty fair.

So hows that working for you with the AN- fittings and all? any smoking? squeeling? puking? doesnt the celica pump put out more volume/pressure?

No ahm not talking about a night in the osarks..(no offense to the osarkians) :flipoff2:

The celica/kick combo is working pretty good. It works great in rocks and dirt, but it pukes a little after a long session on the slabs. If I run 2 low across the slabs its fine. A cooler should fix the minor overheating. There is no squealing etc. The power is better than when I ran the Celica pump.

The ID of the AN fittings is the same as the crimped lines so it shouldnt make a difference. The lines havent leaked at all so far.

Not sure on the celica or kick box I know the 2wd toy truck puts out aroud 1100 actually anyone will do as long as you stay with a 2x8 1-1/2 bore ram. you realy only want to go with a 2" bore ram if you have 44's or it get real sluggish and slow
