ORD Box Brace Bragging

[blazd88]

Just wanted to do a little bragging on ORD's steering box brace.

Last weekend while wheeling (on my side lol) I was using the wheels quite a bit to push the truck around. Having no hydro assist yet makes the box work ALOT harder. So to make a short story the box was ripped from the frame but not because of the brace. The threads were ripped right through the steering box. Frame, bolts, and everithing else were fine. So thanks for the great product otherwise my frame would be toast.

The threads were ripped right through the steering box.

Interesting.
When I put mine together way back, I used longer grade 8 bolts to attach the box and then used ny-lock nuts behind the box in an attempt to keep the box tight. Seems to have worked well for 3 years.

My major box failure involved ripping the mounts off the box altogther. That sucked.
