Another quick question, will a surf box be okay for high steer? Are they all pretty much same design, or are there little things that wont allow it?

Before i go this way, just wanna know how hard it is to do power steering conversion and if it works, getting a surf box/pump/hoses/pulleys etc into my hilux, you ever done this sort of thing bud? Reason i ask is i cant seem to find a non power steer box? Power steer would be sweet and parts aint that much.

I am currently doing a manual steer to high steer with IFS box, the hardest thing so far has been mounting the new box, and the rest seems to be easy.
Just gotta put the pump bracket on and get some belts and I will be right.

Good luck with it mate, thanks for the advice, if mounting the box is the hardest part seems like i have no reason to not do the conversion, power steer will be sweet, cheers mate, Mick

Just make sure in setting the position for the box 100% as I didn't and I may end up having to move it.
Just make sure you can weld or get someone who can to weld the IFS box mount on, want to make sure its on good
