Actually, so was the Astro box I use on my SAS S10. That truck has never steered/driven so well since I put that box on it.
I agree about the cracking issue on the unibody- it should be obvious and I think I mentioned, I will of course be welding the C-Rok reinforcement plate onto it in place of the crappy aluminum spacer that comes with the vehicle stock. This does quite a fine job of taking care of the front end issue, as I've had one on my 90 for about 17 years now.
Trackbar bracket is of course going to be upgraded as well. Since I'm lifting, IMHO, this is one of those "duh, of course you have to do that as well" things. But you're not a mind reader and this isn't common practice, so fair point.
OEM box is leaking, I don't feel like rebuilding it. I could, just don't feel like it. I will be replacing the pump and gearbox at the same time, and doing the wleded-in unibody reinforcement as well.
Cooler is one of the first things I do to any vehicle I buy- the biggest tranny cooler I can fit to it goes downstream of the OEM, and PS cooler goes on the PS return. Both are plate-type, and both get inline filters as well. These are no-brainers, but not everyone does it. Just the smart folks.
Really don't think the bushing is a huge issue.
