Did you get that situation figured out?
Nothing yet. I have a brand new XJ box bouncing around in the floor of the YJ and my XJ sits without a box until I get this figured out. I did pay one of those online "find-a-part" services to come up with a real J20 box. I have one lead so far. I will be calling them on Monday. I have not decided on a pump but will probably open up a stock pump and run a small cooler to increase fluid volume. I will be going to Hydro assist steering this winter so I'm trying to get everything lined up now. I want the new box drilled now so I don't have to mess with it when I run the ram and hydraulic lines this winter.What did ya do?
Eagle said:One more thing to watch out for -- although I am not a fan of AGR boxes because I've heard more negative reports about their stuff than positive, I have in the past looked at their web site more than twice. I noticed that if you are buying a "racing" box (as opposed to a box for a particular vehicle by application), they show two different sizes of pitman shaft.
Hmmmm -- if the J20 box is a much bigger piston than the other Jeep boxes, could it be that the J20 box will also have a larger pitman shaft? If that's the case, then you'll be stuck trying to find a pitman arm to work with the new "uber" box.
Bones, get a hold of Chark. I believe his box is out of one of his junked up j20's and he tapped it for hydro assist.
Yes your right Oneton....but bite your tongue....they're not junk!!!

We're talking Jeep here, and early Jeep at that. Assume nothing
