I should point out that the KLR kit includes a Land Rover factory reco steering box, a brand new pump and that the ZF reservoir in the kit has a filter in it. I believe they'll get you a new steering box as well if you pay the difference in cost to them.Quote:

Good value? Only if you are lazy or unskilled (or not lazy or unskilled but just don't have the time). All up my setup cost about NZD$700. A lot cheaper then shipping the KLR kit over here.
I did take a few gambles with the pump and steering box and I'm not 100% happy with the hoses. I probably should have had the box reconditioned for an additional $450.
The power steering setup is a lot less technical than it looks. Everything bolts in pretty easy, then call a hose fitter.
Time is a killer for me too. I'm lucky to get an hour uninterrupted.
Ok so compare apples with apples, $1150 vs $1650, but you need to factor in time to source and time out of action until complete, I am time poor, can't have Vehicle out of action and am 1.5 hours from town so can't get anyone to do hoses - so for me KLR kit was great value and only 3 hours works to fit it myself.Quote:

+1 for the KLR kit. I saved $$ by using a box I already had and the total installation took less than 2 hours and was 100% hassle free.
I totally understand the sense of achievement in DIY but in this case, it came down to a few hundred $$ and it was a no brainer for me.
Still my best mod to the Perentie (apart from the turbo :twisted:).
+2 for the KLR kit.
Went together easily and works very well.
Worth the money IMHO.
Regards,
Apples with apples would be NZD$1150 vs NZD$1850 + shipping + gst + custom charges + other fees. So easily would be double still.Quote:
