Best tie rod for rock crawling
Like a lot of others I'm sure, I bent my Tie Rod out rock crawling. I've heard some bad things about the Rock Krawler Tie Rod loosen up on the drivers side and over tightens the passenger side tie rod.
What other options are put there? I'm thinking about the Currie, but Holy Crap, $1000.00 Really?

Hell my rk tie rod is awesome me and another wheeler last weekend bounced off ours crawling up rocks with no problems you just gotta do it right the first time and make sure you tighten like your supposed to
After bending mine in Moab i am making my own:
1 ton GM Offset Tie Rod Ends...one left hand thread and one right hand thread
cut length of solid 7075 T6 Aluminum Bar machined on ends for 7/8-18 thread, left hand thread/right hand thread
one bar of material will make 2 tie rods and with ends total cost is under $140.00. Best advantage other than the extreme flexible strength is that you simply loosen the jam nuts and turn rod to adjust.
