Mine leaks really badly.
I have to pull it but the vehicle has no engine in it. So access is pretty good.

I've got 3 or 4 rebuild boxes from Meridian. They all kind of suck - not terrible, but by no stretch great.Dan, the one I got from meridian or whatever was only 2-3 times that, and it was a fresh rebuilt unit
Where would i find this kind of steering box? I have more time than money for sure.I wish I had time to invest in swapping in constant-ratio 76-series Saginaw box.
If box good otherwise, why not replace seals?

No, have you some experience to add? Manual procedure appears to be rather straight forward.Have you ever done this?
No, I've never done it. My understanding is that most people are unsuccessful when they try to rebuild them. Considering that remanufacturers can barely get it right, I doubt an at-home mechanic could either. I really have no idea what's involved, but that would be great if you could do it successfully.

Drew must know how to rebuild them considering he was modding them 15 years ago!?

Junkyard. Any full-size jeep (Cherokee, Wagoneer, J-truck) will have it, along with many (but not all) GM fullsize cars and trucks.
New one can be had off eBay for $200 or so. It mounts on the same side of the frame as in a Land Rover.
I'll get down to the garage later today and report.I think the real issue is the Rover front facing pitman arm.
Most GM had rear a facing pitman arm, except for some models like Safari Vans.
I have no FSJ in my local junkyard to look at. I will do some internet research.
Confirmed - the box is all the way forward in the frame, with pitman arm facing aft.I think the real issue is the Rover front facing pitman arm.

If more time why not give the seals a try? If you take the time to look manual procedure appears to be rather straight forward. Seal replacement is not considered a rebuild. You could then report back on experience/difficulty/success. Price is right too.Where would i find this kind of steering box? I have more time than money for sure.
The difference is between something questionnable to begin with, and something that just doesn't break.If more time why not give the seals a try? If you take the time to look manual procedure appears to be rather straight forward. Seal replacement is not considered a rebuild.
