Also, stop overpaying for brand names. Going with a steel tie rod while aluminum exists is a silly choice. Here is a write-up to a DIY 1 ton aluminum tie rod and drag link I made years ago that I have put through the ringer. I have smacked it against rocks while crawling and at some speed. I have jumped this Jeep multiple feet in the air, multiple times. Some rock gouges, but still running strong as long as I grease the ends every other oil change.

All the details are in this thread:

As noted above- no deletion or moderation- I'd just prefer the thread stay on topic. I don't mind if someone wants to ignore my posts, thoughts, or comments.

Love to see it! Reminds me why I originally shared/started the thread.

I am part of the IGNORE LIST club now as well for giving him the invaluable life lesson of having thick skin when interacting with strangers on the internet.

JK-Forum is a lovely place full of information, and slightly-abrasive personalities.

Mods can't be ignored, so you're on the list but it's superficial.

Lol, had a flashback of the WOL era after reading these latest posts? Wonder what the count was of all the people who got banned for the audacity of having an opinion...
