Outer Limits 4x4 Board

whats the go with this? im guessing there has to be some sort of return to center controller box for the ram? if so where do u get these from and what type of ram, if there is particular type?....this is for a hilux front end

Are you after info on full Hydro or Hydro assist

Lol I drove Beebees and I dont think it was returning to center

while we are on this subject,

has anyone used the steering helm from aboat for this ?? i cant see why a boat hydraulic steering setup shouldnt work, maybe just use a larger pump but instead of feeding it from the steering box on your 4x4 just use the normal boat setup?

hydraulics? whats this?
hydro assist or full hydraulic steering?












know nothing about it!

well whats the pros and cons of hydro assist and full hydralic steering? can i just use a ram on the tie rod of the lux? etc

full hydro you will get wacked with a speed limit of 45k (well in nsw you do)
hydro assist uses your steerign thats already there and runs a ram from the top of your diff to the tierod (make sure its beef) prolly best to do it if you have Histeer

im talking full hydro with the boat setup

spaz.... yeah the hydro assist sounds like a goer but what about like a retern to center like set up? is there anything like that, that has a quick enough fllow rate? what will i need for it? ram, what type of control box, for the fluid that is and could i run just the standard hilux pump or would i have to up grade? to say a bigger chevy pum etc

Why do you want return to centre?
You can use the standard pump just got drill a bigger out let hole and also need a cooler a relief valve and a bigger reservoir.Hydro assist is good if you break somthing or it fails you can still steer a bit

yeah i guess.... do i can use standard parts but just use the ram with the upgraded steering box and res tank! sounds good. but what i wanted to no was that will the steering return to center with the extra drain from the power steer box and stay going one way and u would have toassist in the return to center?

anyway getting pritty pissed at the moment hope people understand this

does your current steering return to center
i wouldnt want auto return to center on hydraulics as you would have to fight it to keep it on lock etc

Orbitrol steering valves from Eaton Hydraulics http://hydraulics.eaton.com/products/steer_main.htm are usually used for full hydaulic steering.

Steering wheel fits onto the steering valve shaft.
