Steering Box Brace

[Kenny811]

So to add a little extra protection to my steering I fabbed up a brace. $3.60 at Park Rose Hardware for the U-bolt, about an hour of time, some black spray paint and all is good.

And it did feel a little tighter in the steering, not as much play in the front end.

look good nice job check the u-bolt after some miles or offroading some of the hardware u-bolt are not very hard and strech and loosen up.

U-bolts are cheap and would be easy to replace if it gets stretched out too much anyways... And it definately doesn't hurt to be built not bought!!

[gary63]

built is allways better that way if it needs to be fixed you know how and if you need to change it you can.

[Kenny811]

There is a spare in the box.
