Aluminum Tie Rods

[HookSetSteve]

I think some of you are running the aluminum tie rods
Who makes them and about how much are they and are they worth it
My stock one is a bit bent and time to upgrade


TIA

 

[HookSetSteve]

What's you opinion on these VS. the HD ones like  the Big Daddy Tie Rod?

 

[HookSetSteve]

Thanks man

You can always do the NAPA Grand Cherokee Upgrade.. probably not as strong, but cheaper.

You can probably find the knock-offs for bit cheaper, but Troys version is much stronger, and uses larger diameter stock.

Who makes the knock-offs and where can I get some info
I wanna explore all my options

personally I wanna know what material they make these out of.

aluminum will yeild a lot sooner than steel.  just wondering if its some special alloy

4x4Groupbuy has them for 139.00

I bet it's unobtainium 

That's what the rubber pieces on Oakleys are called.

Tina has one of these - I've seen it hung up on a rock and support the whole rig!  (looks bent)  And somehow - it goes back to straight when she's off the rock.  It may be worth the investment :question:

The more I think about it the more I think I'm gonna go this way
For what I'm running it just seems to make sense
