The build of Big Red (Knuckles)

What was the reasoning for getting it non ported? Just curious about the potential to upgrade and needing it ported.

For me the non ported is going to be plenty. I’m not going to go larger than 37’s on knuckles. When wheeling I haven’t really felt as tho the stock box wasn’t enough except for maybe a few times. That being said, with how little I wheel I felt as tho going hydro assist was overkill. I daily drive my Jeep and have heard about how much turning radius you lose and how “twitchy” it feels at slow speeds.

If I plan on upgrading the big bore I can add the bigger PS pump and the larger lines which I have heard helps a lot.
 
That will definitely make a nice difference. Does this mean we can get you back out to wheel again?
 
you're gonna be saying, "I should've done this sooner"

I was in the same mindset that I didn't wheel enough to justify hydro-assist until I got it lol
 
Well it’s been almost 3 months since I got my psc big bore in the mail. Today I finally got to install it! Still need to add power steering fluid but it’s in!

Knuckles drive ten times better than he did before! The box is a huge upgrade and one I should have done sooner.

When I was emptying out my drain pan this morning I found one of the worm gear balls in the pan and a ton of metal in the pan from blowing the lines out. The stock gear was shot for sure. Glad I got it off before it got any worse
 
For sure, not something that you’d ever want to fail.

The big bore boxes are a great upgrade, especially on the trail
