Custom made Hy steer (complete) and Bucket seats
« on: May 06, 2007, 08:45:40 PM »
I have a complete Hy Steer kit which I made and have had ZERO problems with it in the last 4 years.  I took the stock Toy steering arms, cut them off, swapped sides and turned them upside down.  The total amount of "hy steer" over stock was nearly 5 inches.  I had a seasoned welder by trade weld the arms back together.  I did this on 4 arms originally and then took two of them and put them to the test, trying to break them, I was NOT successful!  I ran the best 2 of the 4 arms for the last 4 years with never a problem.  From time to time I even took them off and gave them a "strength test" to make sure they would hold up.

I used 85 tie rod ends and stock toy tie rod / drag link (new from a dealer when I made them) and never once had an issue.  I replaced the ends a year ago so they have minimal wheeling time. I had this whole set up on my SAS S-10 so the drag link WILL NOT be the same length as the Toy.  Because this is a "touchy subject with most" I do not want to post pics up here but would email you a few if you are interested.

For safety reasons I would tell you they are for Off Road purposes only.  (even though I put more then 20k miles on this rig over the course of 4 years on the highway)  I am stepping up to Hydro assist in the near future and so am going to use a more "appropriate" steering arm.

$75.00 gets you the 2 arms, tie rod, drag link and 4 newer tie rod ends.

I also have two grey cloth bucket seats that are in great shape.  I DO NOT know what they came out of.... I got them in a trade and just never ended up using them.

$85.00 for the pair! - SOLD-

I am located near Eugene OR.
