Ram is a 2.5"x8" from Surplus Center
Orbital is a 150cc Sauer Danfoss non-load-reaction that I picked up used
All fittings and field service hose came from Discount Hydraulic Hose
Pump is a stock Jeep cherokee pump i got from the pull-a-part
Power steering pulley and splined column are trail gear parts
The cooler came from the junkyard too

It's a saginaw TC pump, same pump that TG and PSC use in the kits, just modded for remote reservoir.
It puts out more pressure and volume than a stock Toyota pump

Not Rigless
Gremlin came together nicely! Like the idea of carb return spring to keep lines out of the way.

Head gasket blew between #3&4 pulled the plug wires and injector plugs, kept riding.
Steering overheated
A few times
Broke a hydro fitting off the ram.
Left it in the woods
Sitting at a Mexican restaurant.

Pretty much.
I felt a lot better about it after some carnitas.
Going to go try to get it out of the woods before the storms get here

Well the gremlin was extracted from the woods, and we tore down the motor, head gasket wasn't blown, but the bottom end was so wore out that 3 and 4 didn't have compression

the gremlin's shakedown run...
Why does this thing sound like a tractor?
Why does this thing not turn?
I think the power steering fluid is boiling...
