I had this happen several times in Moab. When I got home the trac bar snapped in two. Can't say this relates to your problem, but it is/was my experience.

the tie rod is solid chromo steel along with drag link. i checked all the nuts seems to be tight.

Thanks for the welcome You Jeep Takes us southern boys a while to get into things.
This was a puzzling problem for me also. I adjusted it several times. When I turned to the left I had ribbing on the right side fender well also. Makes sense if the trac bar was bending and had the axle off center. It would only happen on hard core wheeling also like the op. The Trac bars have had a recall and was replaced with a newer version.

Just by looking at the track bar it looks its bent a little could this be the problem

Also looked at the pitman arm that also looks like bent upwards could this be a problem

Checked all the jam nuts on drag link and tie rod bar all seems to be tight
