@Wulf for 90$ you can get that part number you said by tuesday from rock auto

 

Somebody will have that seal local. Bearing house in Denver or something. Hell even vato zone might

 

French stunt driver named Rémy Julienne

 

I meant that a little tongue-in-cheek, I forgot the sarcasm font..... But maybe you skipped that font too right back at me

 

I like the look.. I keep forgetting that I spent $1,850 at the dentist yesterday getting 4 crowns.. I need to get rid of a couple of cars and trim the number down to 4...

No place to park another. I've got one on the patio.

 

LOL.. I got it..

 

So I've called around and turned out no luck.

The parts house supplier has 1 in the nation in SLC. Couldn't get here til Wednesday

 

I mean I can tell you're a guy that appreciates quality, if you have the time to wait for that perfect hoopty, might want to test drive some Land Cruisers as well. Specifically 93-97 for the beastly I6 4.5L with optional factory lockers front and rear. And then 98-99 got the V8 but with IFS torsion bar front, extremely durable system(not loved by modders but the reliability is loved by remote villages all through African continent and Asiawe're not the main customer base to Toyota for these lolol)
But I'd definitely recommend some seat time in them. Wish you could drive my different ones because give you a feel for the degree of moddedness to the perceived affected drivability. But yeah I'm excited to see where this leads you, yeah I'm nerdy like that

 

Damn. I believe ya. I thought it would have been much more common. If I pick it up this morning on my way to a job, this evening I can meet you at Wyoming border with it by about 8pm

 

Apparently the only OEM fitment is a Cosworth Vega so I'm not too surprised

 

Thanks but it's too far

 

You already triple checked the part number cross referencing and all that? Already exhausted possibility of same thing from different manufacturer?

 

Yeah you're right

 

I think you right. There are some cruiser clubs in the area that get out and do a lot of fun stuff. I hope to run into one of my friends from NWA in a couple of weeks and talk about the one in this picture. Maybe get to drive one.

 

What’s a good rack n pinion from rockauto

 

Great looking hundy, or hundred series. If I do the Moab thing with the group it'll prolly be in one of those on 35s with the rear locker.
You can skip the rear locker option without shooting yourself in the foot if you go with 2000-2007 on the 100 series. They can with A-TRAC that, as much as I was a snob before and 'locked' was only thing worth beans in my mind, the ATRAC functions very well and controlled. I was stunned at Moab when I watched and heard one running an obstacle. Sounds kinda like ABS braking. Well I guess it is..... Anyways yeah. Such high high quality vehicles. I'll shut up. I get all high function spectrum when I talk Cruisers

 

The hoard of duck hunters are back in front of my house for the season. I was awoken at 5 AM by what sounded like a brick of C4 going off. It’s just gun shots after gun shots all the live long day, I can’t wait for them to be gone.

 

Notice how the UltraPower and Cardone have the same part number. Makes me wonder if they are the same part just rebadged and with a different warranty.

When in doubt about a particular part, I search on the part number to see how the reviews are rating a product. Google "cardone 971697"

 

Thought that was a goat brain or something at first

 

The dealership or even Camelback should sell reman OEM racks for about $400...I'd sooner go that route than getting one of those aftermarket ones that will probably have leaky seals in no time with how you use your truck.

If a steering rack was as easy as a CV axle to swap out it'd be different but they are a bit harder and more time consuming so I've heard lol
