Review on Rugged Ridge 18021.02 Heavy Duty Steering Box Brace for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ5/CJ7/CJ8 Scrambler by Travis Rio

This is a great part to add security to your Jeep CJ. This is the large cross brace that physically attaches the steering box (near the bipod) to the opposite frame rail. Build quality is very good, all fasteners are included and are grade 8. Potential buyers should be aware that the frame side brace mounts into existing bolt holes (the first bolt replaces the existing bolt via a leaf spring). plate, and another one is installed just behind it). There was a nut nailed to the inside of the frame in the rear bolt hole so I had to drill it out first. Second, I have found that it is MUCH easier to thread the bolts through the frame than trying to fish the nut and lock washer through the frame guide to get the bolts into the frame. The only criticism is the lack of installation instructions in the packaging. with the product. These braces would have easily gotten 5 stars if there had even been a picture of them on the packaging. Luckily, many other people have cataloged the setup (with photos) on various forums and websites, and a quick google search will yield plenty of results.
