When I took yours for a drive a few weeks ago to keep the battery charged, the first thing I thought was, "man this thing needs a Jeep steering gear".  ;D

Hah, probably followed by "Holy cow these are the loudest mud tires in the world!"
Wanted:  More time to work on my Eagle!

I bought an 87 Monte Carlo gear box from Napa for like $112 and turned mine in for a core. Bolted right in,  12:1 steering.  vastly better than the 21:1
