    I have a 1967 cj5 with a Ross steering box. Can someone point me in the right direction for a rebuild kit for this? or should I upgrade with something else?

    Is it a V 6, the V 6 had a slightly larger Ross steering box in it. There is two ideas about that subject, replace the steering with a Saginaw from a later Jeep, or find the parts you need to fix the Ross steering. I found a 66 donor Jeep with a V 6 in it, and used that Ross steering box in my Jeep. I didn't want to change my 64 that much from stock.

    Probably no subject has been covered more on this forum...do a little searching & you can probably read for hours.
    My 2 cents...if you're running stock size tires and don't plan any serious off road use, you'll be OK with a rebuilt Ross box (others may disagree with me on this). If you plan to lift it, bigger tires, and go Jeeping, convert to Saginaw. It's a big job but worth it.
