Is there any reason why, since i have to fab the frame mounts anyway, I couldnt run a saginaw PS box on the front of my CJ powered by the stock toyota power steering pump on my 22r? I would imagine if I can get the lines to bolt up (maybe need some fittings) and the yota steering linkage hooked to it. Just looking for another option since I have a saginaw box lying around and dont have a yota one. Stupid push/pull steering!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but assuming you get everything plumbed properly, the main thing you need to worry about is whether your pump is able to push out enough flow for the saginaw steering box. What I would do is to take a look at the flow rating for your current power steering pump and compare it to the flow ratings of the stock pump used by the saginaw steering box you are using. Many domestic pump specs can be found here (there are thumbnail pictures with the GPM ratings for many domestic 4x4s in the steering pump section):

I still have that box for $50. That is less than
you will spend adapting a Saginaw box.

Ive got a 22re in my 4runner but that yellow Yota has got a 2f (4.2L OHV I-6).....its like a toyota version of the AMC 258

I have a push pull box now so I have to custom fab everything anyway, but the area I have to work with on the inside of my frame is tight so it is more of a what will fit issue

How does that mount up b.c I have a yj sagina box now but it mounts to the inside of the frame rail and doesn't stick down far enough. what I need is a yota box or something else that mounts on the outside of the frame like the one on it now.
