Thats pretty close to what I spent for the rockcrawler. I used a Dan Foss orbital that ended up being about $240 at the time. Hoses and fittings are another $50 or so. It runs off the PS pump with no problems but Im also not pulling alot of RPMs.
On the pull truck Jake plumbed in a Tommy Lift to the original steering box. It runs off a switch and is used only when needed or during the pull. Was a pretty cheap and quick way to go.

Bob,
Post some links please. I searched ebay and was not able to find new orbital valves for $105. I saw some hydraulic motors for that price though. I wouldn't mind picking up another one if I could get it for that price.
If you can find one cheaper then go for it. I couldn't when I was looking. Go with the electric over hydraulic cuz you'll be surprised how much power you can pick up by getting the stuff off the crankshaft.
