Jimmie,

Although I am now also considering using the EPAS; my first thought was the Toyota box. I have not done either yet. I want to see someone else's install of an EPAS under the dash of an AD truck.

Just food for thought, the Toy box works well with a GM pump, from what I read. Also backed up by the fact that if you buy an upgrade kit for your FJ, the kit comes with a GM pump. They say the pressures make the box work better than the Toy pump.

The issue I foresee, at least on my 1 ton dually, would be the length and the shape of the pitman arm needed. Consider this need first. There is a flat pitman arm made for Toyota trucks, but it is about 3/4" shorter than the stock Toyota arm even. At least on a 1 ton, it needs to be quite long.

I also considered mounting the box inside the frame with the pitman shaft coming out through the side of the frame. This would shorten the length of the pitman needed.

That being said, I bought my push pull box by posting a wanted ad on Pirate4x4.com. I think I ended up paying like $100.00 or $125 shipped. This is a 4x4 part; go where the 4x4 fans go. There is a Toyota section there in addition to a parts wanted and parts needed section. Ebay is way too high.

Also make sure you get the right box. There is a slight difference in the mounting angle that I didn't immediately notice.

That might be an advantage, depending on your mounting angles. I think one is an FJ40 or 60 box and the other is the 79-84(85???) pickup or LC box, pre IFS at any rate. Mine came off of a Land Cruiser I think.

The EPAS is cheap and shouldn't require changing anything from the steering box down.
