Herm’s Manual Steering

    I Updated the steering in a clients 1960 CJ5. The process went really smooth and I thought I would share some pictures of the finished install.
    The biggest problem with the kit is the radiator issues the new steering box causes. I used a radiator from a Suzuki samurai and modified a rad hose from a mid 2000’s Chevy truck with a 5.3 LS.
    I did have to remove the manual fan and replaced it with a electric fan with fan control. I know some people have a problem with this but it works great for this rig and my personal CJ5. With the gain in HP from the fan removal the f134 feels like it has a little extra get up and go.
    I also added front disc brakes and couldn’t pass up adding one of Herm’s overdrives.

    Up top on your thread between the title and your first post should be an "edit title" box.
