71 cj5 powersteering/tilt wheel upgrade

hi, new here. need info on tilt wheel and powersteering upgrade for a 71 cj5 w/v6

 

is there anything available that you know of?

 

First of all, Welcome!
Second, you might try using the search function. This has been discussed in depth quite a bit. If things are unclear or don't make sense, ask away, but definitely do a search.
Third, Advance Adapters makes a kit for all but the tilt column. I'm not fond of it as I feel it is very expensive and mounts the steering box too high, but lots of people like it. Flaming River, Ididit, and others make steering columns that would fit pretty well in a CJ. I've used XJ columns, Firebird columns, Skyhawk columns all with success. There has been lots of discussion on this as well with pics. Good luck. Nickmil

 

The search function will net you alot of info on power steering upgrades. This thread will also show you whats been done:

You can also search thru members photobucket or webshots to find more pictures or info.
It would also be helpful if you would edit your profile and let people know where you're from as someone may be close that can help you with your project or with a local source for parts.
Oh, and welcome aboard!!!

 

welcome. once you do a little reading on the threads here, you may have questions. ask away. no question is too stupid.
i'm living proof of that. ask almost anyone here..

 

Hey Stan. There is a ton of infomation here, and the folks here are ready to share, but you have to be specific as to what you are looking for and what it is that you would like to accomplish.

Mcruff has shared with me his design for mounts and so forth....you may what to do the search and look at the threads. A LOAD of info here.

Hope that this is helpful.

Welcome aboard, by the way.

 

85 tilt steering column and wheel from a cherokee laredo (pre airbag) about $50 at a yard here. (make sure it's got a key!!)

borgeson universal joints and slip intermediate shaft (folks at borgeson are really great at helping you figure out which specific joints you need)

i guess i'd better finish my article soon, eh?

 

I run a mid 70s chevy car tilt in my 74. I used the swing pedal mount from a later model to make it essentially a bolt in. I don't have much tied up in the whole thing. For power steering box I bought a rebuilt one for a CJ from the parts store. That was also a lot cheaper than I expected. I made my own power steering pump mounts in the stock location. Between the column and the steering box I used stock CJ parts.
For Black Jeep I have an S10 column sitting on my bench. I am sure I will have to fab a lower mount but I do have some stock pieces to work from.

Mine;






I saw this at SEMA and kind of liked it. I think it was flaming river but I don't really recall.
