Don, I got an email quote from them that was not to bad. I never heard of them before and it is always nice to hear of someone having a good experience with a vender. I got a call in to them.

Be sure and get the hoses with the box.

McCarlson is right. I got my Toyota box from some 4x4 guys. After searching the internet for a decent deal on a steering gear and striking out. I was talking with a freind here locally here in Prescott yesterday afternoon about my search efforts. Well last night a few couples were getting together for dinner and he brings over a used Toyota steering gear complete with lines, arm, and drag link. Come to find out that he had a freind into 4x4's and he had three of them.

Does he want to sell the other two?
Just be sure you get the compact box, not the long skinny one.

Moe, the weather up here has been great. It's a little warmer in PV but it has been around 90 for a high up here in the trees. Are you driving your truck up to PV? If so I would like to see it. Their is a small car show at Sally B's Cafe on Saturday and the Bluegrass Festival is this weekend in the Downtown Prescott Square.

Ax, don't know if he wants to sell the others but I will ask next week when I see him.

I know a guy who has the right box for $95 shipped. These boxes are getting harder to find cheap. The word seems to be out to the Toyota guys that they boxes are in demand. $20 is a great score. If someone is looking for a box, let me know.
