Default AGR steering boxes and ram assist install

Well after installing a SB-2 box , tapped for ram assist, from AGR and their high pressure P/S pump, I came to the conclusion that AGR makes crap parts!

I, and two well known 4x4 aligment guys strongly recommend to use another company!

I placed an order with redneck ram today (friday) for their box. I will post reasults soon.


Finding a GOOD spot to mount the ram proved to be a challenge but after a lot of head scracthing, and fabbing up the needed brackets, the install went fine. I did not use a AGR or Recneck ram but one that my friend Dean makes for rock crawler buggies.

I noticed a huge difference in the way my Jeepster steered. A lot firmer/positve in feel and it can easily be steered with one finger.

Sorry guys, for unkown reasons, I can not upload any pics of my Jeepster! I have some sort of software problem that even the puter geeks can not figure out. I need a new puter I think LOL.

I've heard this from enough reliable sources that I don't believe you could pay me to run AGR parts. I've actually never heard anyone say that they liked or got good results from anything that they make.

Tom, at this point, my puter will not upload at all even to upgrade the AJC website or my own websites. Spent good money to have my puter check and they can not even find the problem nor a cure. It's very complexing to say the least. Why this puter can post on the BBS but not upload pics or webiste data makes it even more mind boggoling(sp)...May be my wife will suprise me with a new puter for my B-day LOL.
