Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

A tc pump will fit the 4.0 with a 1/4 shim on the lower mount.

 

Figured it would be pretty easy to make it work as the Toyota pump looks really similar

 

Almost identical. And the factory pulley works on it as well.

 

Best news I’ve heard all day!

 

And you can set them correctly to avoid bump steer issues, unlike dropping heim joints onto an OEM rack...

 

Where were you 2 years ago? This is the ultimate rack upgrade, full hydro power, and OEM rack fail safe mechanical connection.

 

Exactly, the location has been changed in the clevis to eliminate bump steer with a heimed inner.

 

I was busy with my 81 . Honestly this whole thing is such a snowball, it all started with me trying to figure out how to run bigger tires and here we are

 

Ok guys Rookie here on IFS , I can talk dana 60 front , But what is a TC Pump ? Toyota corolla ?
Like i say I"m watching this tread daily , Awesome fabricator

 

It’s a GM style power steering pump

 

So @81Trekker does it bolt to the stock rack at the ends or does it get welded to it? Can’t see in the pictures.

 

Excellent work with the steering support. I always desired having a through rod steering damper installed in a similar fashion... not too much low speed damping, but plenty of high speed to take the high psi hydraulic load spikes off the rack seals.

 

Once you get the point where you've got a ram attached I'll start throwing money at you guys.

 

The 4.0 is also installed in the 2nd gen Tundra, so it receives the larger pump to deal with the massive Tundra steering rack... might be an option?

 

It bolts to the end of the stock rack just like a standard clevis would

 

I can have a ram on there in about an hour if that’s what you’re into. I want to see how well it will work with the big pump and no deflection first

 

Really? Do you have a part number for that pump? I thought they were the same.

 

Cool, your solution is way better than what I was planning on doing. I was just planning on double shearing the mounts and changing the rack bushings to delrin but I'm worried about the rack/piston scoring/damaging the inside of the housing under deflection.

 

You just stole my attention away from a tundra conversion. Slap some 40’s on this truck with the bigger pump and tell us how it turns when the truck isn’t moving.

 

We are doing Delrin rack bushings too, forgot to add that
