    need urgent help! first gen ifs steering box near big bear

    our fellow user patrick (strikersd i believe) is stranded with a stripped out power steering box offroad. he has no steering and desperately needs a box to install to get him off of the trail

    autozone wants nearly 400 dollars and 3 days.

    if anyone can lend a box, that would be great. temps are below freezing at night. i think i will go up there if i cant get ahold of anyone else. we at least would like to get his vehicle off of the trail, but this seems difficult with no steering.


    thank you for your help. please PM me if you have anything that could help him. the email will go straight to my phone.

    bummer, hopefully someone can get him one. Sean and Scuba, if you do go up there, be sure to get some pics for the snow wheelin' thread.

    Another member (DLM, David) found an IFS box in a local bone yard and last I heard was on the way to take it out to him. I had a feeling we werent going to be able to find a box today, so I was thinking we would need a few people to head out and drag him out to the road. I was planning on going but they would have been done by the time I got there..
