Default Steering Box
Has anyone installed or seen a close ratio steering box for these trucks? I thought there might be one available with all of the rock crawling and off road popularity.....But I cannot find anything.

I think the only way to go with a quicker steering system is to fully replace it with aftermarket steering gear, ie: Flaming River or similar.

What's wrong with the factory one? It's plenty responsive.

Loosen the nut on top of the gear box and give the screw a half turn, then tighten the nut back...

Thanks for the info!

I would really like something that has a closer ratio, my last trip though the canyons about wore me out.

Same here. Let us know when you find something, I'd be down to spend some cash on a nice setup.
