some of the issues I have already ran into is, what steering box to use? what steering column to use? what booster to use? im using the ax15 transmission and clutch pedal set up so i might have to use the jeep pedal set up.

I still say use the Yota IFS steering box... Yota steering column. That way all you have to worry bout is the Pitman arm.

Agree I would also try to use the Yota powertrain. Cheap, easy, reliable, and cheaper to double down. Happy

Not in this case. The jeep drivetrain is good to go as it sits, where the toy drivetrain needs some work. also, IIRC, the ax15 will bolt up to a toyota t-case by just swapping out the tailshaft or something, so doubling down isn't that much more expensive either. Cool

Yeah, the 22r is going, and the Jeep 4L is goin in the Yota... the jeep motor is in fantastic shape, and is ready to go. So IMHO, I would say to use the Jeep motor/trans/tcase, chrysler 9 1/4, Dana 44, 35" TSL's, Toyota IFS steering box, and the little stuff still needs to be worked out.

Do you have a engine hoist that is capable of supporting the weight of all 3?

If their not leaking, and don't have any problems, I'd just leave them together. project BIG BLING for now 980970 thats just me though. I'd also go ahead and use the jeep tank, and fuel pump, since it is already together and functioning
