Okay, here is what I have been doing so far.

I cut the front of the frame rails and switched them so the steering box would bolt up to the inside of the frame.

I started on a new center steering link last night but didnt get it done. I will take the new center link to the local 4x4 shop so they can build a stronger one, but this will work. It does take up some room but we fit a 302 in and it seems to clear okay. I wont get the stock hood like I wanted but oh well, I will just get a good looking blower or something.

Oh, Farside had it right by ordering a RHD box, it should all just bolt up. But it can be done with stock stuff.

well, you will be getting some very soon.



we are realistically buiding more of these in the next week or two.

we have finished our Isuzu sets that were backordered, and made 3 extra sets. we also finished the Ranger sets that were backordered, and have one extra set.

now we are doing Mitsu, GM fullsize and S-10.

Mazda and Nissan are next.

I used the Tacoma rack on my RHD setup with stock Mazda spindles.

I also noticed that the stock Mazda wiring would be long enough to move with only having to make some wires longer.


I used a Geo Metro booster for the brakes.

also I used Trooper and Rodeo discs and calipers on a Courier/Mazda rearend.

still trying to figure out why jcordova had to cut his frame rails off and switch them? the steering box bolts up to the inside of the other rail once u get some brackets out of the way. We modded the center link and corey gets lock to lock steering with no binding. Took about 2 hours.

I switched them so I didn't have to get brackets out of the way. It was easy and clean.
