Box Rocket - 2003 TRD Doublecab

sub'd! Awesome rig!

 

Hey Adam, I noticed you replaced your rack recently. I just found out my rack is toast and picking up a used one to replace.

Did you have any issues/difficulties installing? Ive done the rack bushings before so that wont be a surprise but i was wondering about the draining and refilling of the steering fluid and bleeding air out

 

while changing my tranny fluid today i noticed my rack is leaking a little, where do you think the best place to buy a new one is? or are remain built ones safe??

 

I didn't have any issues. It's pretty straight forward, just takes time. Bleeding the system isn't bad either just takes time. Cycle the steering back and forth lock to lock with the reservoir open and top of the fluid as necessary while you do it until you don't see any more bubbles in the fluid.

I got my rack from Safari Limited. It's a new rack not a rebuilt one and is reported to be stronger. If you read some of the earlier discussion in this thread, it sounds like you can possibly get the same rack from Rock-Auto for less money. I highly suggest one of these NEW racks over a rebuilt one.

 

Thanks man, if you don't mind, how much did that run you? Install time?

 

The rack from Safari is about $500. Install time was 3-4 hours for me but I was working slowly.

 

Re-sub. Fat thumbs and touchscreens don't mix
