Steering gear box?
I've confirmed that both will fit my setup and curious if I should buy the newer one with only a few more kms or the slightly older one with a bit less kms and a bit cheaper?
17k kms vs 20k kms is hardly a difference so go with newer or go with less expensive, what you guys think?

Surprisingly I run 37's and have since new. Within the month of owning I had everything purchased and went to my dad's shop and we knocked it out in a day. Perhaps because I run dual bilstein steering stabilizer it helps longevity or to hide the wear.
I am sure it will be time soon but for now it's fine

I have learned to drive the truck with the inadequate powered gear box (pre-turning into spots and in reverse etc etc). Maybe down the road I will upgrade stuff but that is at the bottom of my to do list if ever. I am sure if the truck did not have Toyo M/T 37's it would be a different story.
In dirt and gravel it turns while stationary just fine, but on pavement, stationary and the tires digging in.....not so much
I saw the thread on the 6.7 gear box addition and it was a great add.
I forgot what member here did that to his truck?
Anyone have it handy to link it?
thank you
