Aftermarket Tie Rods
I'm trying to do some research on the aftermarket tie rod for JKs. I only found tie rod Rock Krawler, however the RK one doesn't come with ball joints. Any others out there that I am missing?

Hey Simon get the rock krawler, its the only one out there, and it is HEAVY duty, you can buy the moog tire rod ends at almost any auto parts store. It uses 1ton truck greaseable ends.

Bump this up 'cause if any of you are looking at this setup and want the tie rod ends to go with it just order from RockAuto. No one in town had them in stock, and the cheapest price for the auto shops to order them was over $100 each!
I ordered 3 MOOG ES194R (54.99 each) and 1 MOOG ES194L (54.79) for the Rock Krawler tie rod and the drag link from RockAuto on Tuesday and received them on Thursday.
Now this is such good fast service who ever is running the place must be related, at least distantly, to our good buddy David at Northridge.
I'll get to install these parts this weekend, and I'll give you guys and gals an update then.

BTW, the leak that I had under the tranny was the slave cylinder. Cherry Hill Triplex couldn't figure it out..... morons! I went to Spirit in Swedesboro and they figured it out in an instance. I don't think I will ever go back to the Triplex.

jk tire rod
There is a new tie rod and steering stabilizer setup from Offroad Only. It is really a cool setup. Go to their website and check it out. I have one of the first ones and will be doing a writeup on it soon.
