i have searched hight and low and cant fined anything yet
looked at the steering box and it looks like nothing spical. normal
but i have a bad feeling that it is going to have to be a box mount for rail issue.

i will try and rin jeep later on and see how i go.
but if any one has pics of a modded box would be a big help

Hi mate,
This is what I did to mine after the bolts had worked their way loose. Some cracks were evident once the box was removed and the holes the bolts mounted through had rounded slightly. I made new crush tubes and fitted a solid 3/4 rod through the chassis, welding both inner and outer plates to it to connect the walls. I then welded the plates to the chassis by infilling the holes drilled through the plates. This disperses the weld throughout the entire plate and minimises twist/warp and the chance of the welds cracking as a result.
