Hi All.

Some of you may have noticed the guy selling these at the Vic roundup on sunday :

Burgeson steering box

They looked pretty nice, but pretty expensive buy the time you buy all the bits you need to hook it up.

Anyone have one ? Opinions ? For the price, I guess it might be better just to reco the existing p/steering box.

cheers,
Frank.

I am looking into the same thing Frank. Email gil@borgeson.com for some more info.He quoted me $205 for shipping and an extra couple of hundred for rag jiont and pitman arm. I would like to know if they are any good or not befor i fork out. I would rather an integrated type over the ramsetup.

How much were they on Sunday?
So they are a power steer box, like XA onward, rather than a normal box with power assistance, like original, and early Falcon?

They guy was after $600 for the box. Says they use them in Jeep Cherokees. Not sure if that is a selling point or not. I do believe they are a power steering box - essentially a Saginaw.
Plus another couple of hundred $ or so for the various other bits. You are looking at prob about $900 all up.

So if you get one of these , you dont need the ram anymore ? What do you do with it ?
I might go check them out as they are 5 mins from my place in Hampton.

Fozzy, if they guy is asking $200 shipping plus another $200 for all the accessory bits, then I think you are better off buying it here.

Let me know if you want the guys contact info. There is a website from memory.

Cheers,
Frank.

You fit a manual steer draglink, according to the site.

I have a copy of the fitting instuctions, if you want Frank? It is a Word Doc, but I don't know how to post it on the forum.

I would like the contact details of the guy who has them, if you can too.

If they are a Jeep box, then it is just a saginaw, at least you know it is strong enough to turn heavy wheels/tyres and put up with the rigors of 4x4ing. Over here, when we use HQ-WB boxes in RHD Jeeps, as they are Saginaws too, so I would guess they are pretty generic.

BLKPNY, if you want to email me the word doc, I will host it and put a link here.

I saw that they also do a 16:1 manual box. Was wondering how they would stack up to the Flaming River boxes, especially given that the Borgeson boxes are a lot cheaper. Any opinions?

fozzy · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2009, 06:13:07 pm »

Sounds like this topic has generated some interest. Thanks for the info Frank. I will be going down this path instead of using the original setup, when time and money permits. Its still cheaper than a pwr rack and so as long as its good it should be worthwhile.

Hi Fozzy.

Pls keep us informed on the install and results .

Cheers,
Frank.

How did you go with installing this box?

I'm looking at purchasing one to fit to my project, but would like some feedback before I hand over lots of $$...

fozzy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 28, 2009, 04:35:05 pm »

Havn"t gone anywhere with the install yet. Have done all the research though and am chasing the parts. Will post details when done but dont hold your breath my project is a slow one.

Me_3 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:00:41 pm »

Well, i've decided to order one.. I'll post some pictures and a bit of a review once I receive it..
