I will be glad to see the paint on it. the yellow is starting to hurt my eyes. :lol: you do know that know one is going to recognize you?

so , i got to looking at your steering last night and got to thinking about how many different things can go wrong there. is there a conversion to traditional cross over steering for that thing? you know something with less moving parts to screw up.

looking good. I always liked the looks of the older crusiers. My buddys boy had one and he used a 2wd chevy steering box and crossed over. I didn't assist but saw the finished product. Worked good til he rolled it down the mountian.

Check with Trail Gear, I think that they had some steering components out for the cruisers.
