Just a word of caution on that spinner. If a front wheel grabs a hole in four wheel drive make sure you are hanging on tight or you may have a very sore hand.

no power steering and don't really need it.i did have to adjust some slack out of the steering box,and must have a bad thrust bearing.it pops when i turn and steering wheel rises a little!

I would fix this _now_. I had the same problem and it eventually led to the worm gear on the steering shaft getting nicked. The junk from the thrust bearing got in there. I replaced the bearings but it was too late and ended up having to get a new steering shaft for about $160. The bearings are about $6 each and you need two.
