I bent my tie rod this weekend on a stump. Does anyone know there I could get a "heavy duty" or " stronger" one?

you could start with rustys offroad...they make a nice one.....you should visit their website if you haven't already @ www.rustysoffroad.com

push your limits, be extreme...anything less and you'll never learn.

Beastmaster,

Ok here this is good sh*t!!!

To strengthen the stock tie rod sleeve it with a piece of hollow steel pipe 0.875" ID and 1.25" OD.

Go to this site [*]http://members.tripod.com/BillyXJ/tech.html<bi> ALL OF YOU!!![/SIZE] This is one of the best XJ tech site around, this guy is a bit of a genius, and a bit of a Loon!

Have fun,

hey, I have been to his site, but I failed to see that tie rod beefing...thats pretty cool. I am gonna try that one! Don't you think Chromoly tubing would work better?

hey, give it a shot but i think that the steel would be sufficient. Just make sure that the ID and OD are the same as what i posted.

Have fun,
