Re: PICS: DIY Hydraulic Assist, Box Modifications, Ram selection, Saginaw Rebuild kit....
No, I mean plug the box, not the ram or the lines.
Mostlikely the ram will get dented/bent or the lines will rip/get cut. Carying plugs for the box would solve either failure.
Matt said:I used to carry a section of hose that will go between the two -6 JIC ports on the ram (makes a burly steering damper) or you have to take the ram off because if it is capped it will not allow the rod to move in or out...
You can just cap the lines since they just deadhead with no piston to drive and then the box is a standard p/s gear box...
Also if you use field servicable fittings you can repair hoses on the trail - a air power die grinder with a ziz wheel make cutting hydro hose simple and keeps the mangle factor down...
Some spare fluid, hose and a few fittings make up my full hydro spares kit - no worries, we can fix that!
