Tried doing my research on my situation but wasn’t able to find any specific information. Thought I would post up the pics from my installation of the Apex Steering Boost with the Evo Quarter Pounder, Warn Zeon 12 and the Rubicons sway bar motor flipped.

There is other threads and videos out there to fill in the rest of the install. These pictures just demonstrate the part of the installation that is custom.

On the passenger side I didn’t use the supplied hardware since it won’t give the hose enough clearance to squeeze past the AC condenser. I used rivets to attach that bracket. I cut off some of the factory bracket on the frame to make room. The other bracket on the drivers side will need about .25” spacer in between the frame and the bracket.

Everything fit perfectly. Takes a long time to do it right and creatively think of how to put it all together. Hopefully this saves others a little time in their install.

Thank you for sharing Spencer. That is some very nice detailed fabrication and fitment you tackled.

Finished up the install yesterday and I’m very impressed with the results. Feels like I’m back on 33” tires. Effortless steering again.

Bolted the winch in and it was tight! Had about an 1/8” of an inch clearance.

Between the cooler and AC condenser there’s about 3/8” gap.

I will be taking it out on the rocks this next weekend to do more testing.

Four month post install review: (will update later this year after the warm summer wheeling trips)

Pros:

easier turning 37” tires most of the time

Cons:

pump makes a whining noise (normal?)

Still have trouble turning when in 4 low and locked on the rocks

Been almost a year now. Time for another update.

Haven’t had any major issues. Ran some trails when the weather was warm and had no issues.

With only 37 inch tires aired down to 12 psi on the rocks it’s still impossible to turn when the front axle is locked up. I have the Apex set at 1,750 psi and don’t want to go any higher.

Recently went to 40s since it doesn’t matter at this point, I’ll need hydro assist either way. PSC kit has been ordered and hopefully will be the solution. Won’t need the full PSC kit since the Apex boost kit is already there. I’ll be using the electric pump since I have an etorque model.
