I've been watching eBay for a "Jeep Saginaw steering box" and I've not found anything for the past few months. There are other non-Jeep Saginaw steering boxes available on eBay.

Does anyone know what other steering boxes from other vehicles would be a suitable replacement? I'm not looking for any mod's to be done - hoping for a drop in place solution.

Thanks,

Studs? 30 spline hubs? Internal hubs? http://forums.off-road.com/jeep-short-wheelbase/233634-dana-30-hub-upgrades-studs-30-spline-hubs-internal-hubs.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:44:42 GMT So I've decided for now to keep the dana 30 in my cj.

Here's the back ground:

I'm going to go with alloy shafts/ super joints, it all ready has a detroit, 4.56's, all new brake parts/ bearings/ seals. My theory is when I start eating detroits/ 4.56's is to swap from the knuckles out onto a dana 44 housing, though I'm crossing my fingers I can make the 30 live with 34's.

Questions I have

Is it worth it to swap from the external style lock outs to internal style lock outs? Is there a junk yard parts collection that will work? I know Warn used to sell the internal lock out conversion, I'm guessing it is discontinued though I am still researching to see if I can find a kit on the shelf some where.

Is it worth it to upgrade from 27 to 30 spline stub shafts? A normal internal lock out dana 44 has 19 spline outers so I'm not sure if an extra 3 splines will make much of a difference. Does any one sell a 30 spline external lock out that bolts on?

Has anyone replaced the bolts to hold their lock outs on with studs? What size studs? Does ARP sell kit/ anyone know the ARP part numbers?

Basically should I run 27 or 30 spline outer shafts and internal or external lock outs?

Thanks,

I'm very interested in off-roadn. I first started liking it year ago after my buddy took me to "the back ponds" to go mudding. It was awesome! I enjoyed all the little trials we did and such. I recently just bought a Toyota Tacoma twin-cab TRD and was wondering what should be the first mod that I should put on it? What's the best for my money? I'm not interested in hill climbing just going through mud and little trails. I'll soon lift it 4 inches, but that's not my first priority. So, any feedback and such would be awesome.

Thanks,
