Steering
My bucket didn't drive bad but before we left for Chatannooga I had it up checking for anything loose,cracked or worn. I decided to lube the king pins and rod ends with synthetic grease. We pumped grease in as we moved the steering lock to lock and thought it worked easier, but after driving it several hundred miles it just keeps geting better and better feels almost like power steering. Just thought I would throw this thought out there you might want to give it a try.
Been there, done that, hope to live long enough to do it all again.

Re:reversing a box
personally i don't like the rev var box.. the pit-man is hanging down and that puts the steering arm at an angle.. now my first bucket was like that with no problems.. but this bucket and did not rev the var box.. that give u the pit man arm pointing up and then the steering rod is now very horizontal ... bump steering was my concern with the pit down.
