Used 3rd gen box $60. Rag joint $5. Day in the yard peruesing for various parts.... priceless. The adapters were around $8 with shipping (shipping was like half the cost I think). Total cost about $75.
Also, the steering effort is higher. Right now with my setup, I can turn the wheel practically by blowing on it.
Sure I didn't get all new parts, but if I don't like the effort or the ratio, I have a slightly slower box with a little less effort(still faster and more effort than stock) waiting in the wings that I paid even less for. Plus again, I actually had a fun day looking through the yard.
