1985 4Runner, 22RE, Manual

I am going to need to rebuild/replace my IFS Steering Box soon.

Can I use a box that is tapped for hydro but leave the fittings capped? Not ready to install the a working hydro or ready to replace the PS Pump.

Just curious if I should get the box tapped so it is ready and waiting.

I'm assuming it should be fine to cap the ends but figured I would ask around first.

Any problems with doing this?

yes you can tap the box and just use plugs till youre ready use them

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Is there anything else that makes sense to do when I am pulling the Steering Box? Steering shaft, tie rod ends, etc?
