yello620 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Jeff, Steve--I am wondering about the Astro gearbox. I you mount it in about the same spot as stock, then dont you want a standard rotation box? Thats how my landcruiser is setup. And if you run the GM/saginaw box then you could get a jeep pitman arm that fit your tie rods perfectly. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 For now I'm just going to run a hiem joint on the bottom side of the arm. That way the geometry will be as close as I can get it without ton's of mods. That way I will have time to decide what route I want to go, I hate being rushed into things. A buddy of mine is putting a power assist column in his 510, it has an electric motor that helps with turning. They come factory in lots of Japanese cars. His wife's car came factory with it, he said with the key on it will turn the wheels with one finger without rolling :D I'm just not a fan of power steering fluid and all that icky :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Stock location on his truck puts the pitman right into the pan. Even with a front sump it would hit. You should see that drag link in person :lol: Reverse rotation would put it almost in line, but that requires quite a bit of fab work. Electric assist would be pretty cool. How hard is that to get ahold of? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not sure how hard the column is to get, my buddy saved me a power rack out of a toyota so I'm sure there has to be some sort of power column in US cars. Wiring it and make it work is a different story... HHHMMM Maybe I should check ebay :D Quote Link to comment

And those electric columns, I have only seen a couple of them and they were both in Saturns, i think it was the ION? They are also available from the aftermarket, like flaming river maybe.

fisch Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Dood you are so happy! You know I was a little bummed about you killin your low 620 to do this, but Jeff my man, this is really bad ass. Geeze, a KA 4x4 620, RAD! And you look like a kid who just got his first bicycle! Congrats! Congrats on all the hard work and congrats on having the buddies to help you get it going. I see that street lined with dimes and the camaraderie you all share, and I want to move out there. Alas, I'd never get any art work done!!! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Looks great, did you get the exhaust done? Sorry for not stopping by on sat, my weekend sorta got outta control :) Quote Link to comment
Pedro Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 That looks tuff, I never really had much interest in jacked cars until this thread and seeing a 620 on top of one. Anyone know if there are any jacked 520/521's? Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 HAHA NAH I want to remove the rear bumper later on and reinstall my split bumpers. Someday repaint it and get the "little hustler" stickers. I want it to appear stockish. Well the exhaust is done, next will be the brakes and steering link. Then she will be ready for daily driving haha maybe not that much driving :D I gotta talk Steve into coming over and showing me how to pull the spindles. I need to take them to the 4x4 shop, they may have a disk conversion kit that will fit from what they say. Quote Link to comment
