Re: Tie Rod
Are there any Machinists out there?
Where are the aftermarket HD tie rods somebody?
I am sure the would sell like hotcakes.

Re: Tie Rod

I haven't taken my rig over 45mph yet only because I wouldn't want it to snap on the freeway, but everyone is telling me that the welded side is actually stronger than the stock one. I'm missing out on a big run Saturday because of my freakin' paranoia of it snapping it, I dunno man, it's either paranoia or just the fact that freakin' nobody has any in stock - I hope HummBebe does well on Sunday and sends me her spare (hint, hint!)
Thanks

I only ended up running the one trail.. There were some places along the trail that if I would of broke the tie rod again, getting pulled out would of caused some body damage... The bolt that is attached to the outside part of the tie rod, was a bolt I found in town at the local hardware store... Cut the head off the bolt and then welded it to the other half... I drove home on the freeway and never went over 55 mph.... I would use the welded one in an emergency, but I wouldn't continue wheeling with it attached...

Re: Tie Rod
These guys here, they could, and would make 'em. http://bulletproofsteering.com/gmifstierod.html
Don't the H2 guys have this all figured out?

Re: Tie Rod
I don't think I see any grease zerts. How long will Hime joints last without grease? I know Skyjacker struts and track bars on Jeeps wear out quickly on the street. I will look at that somemore and see if I can find how to contact them with measurements just to run the scenario. I looked at some full size pickups and they are longer and not impressively bigger if at all.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The connected joints of the prior art comprise a plurality of articulated joints henceforth individually referred to as a ball joint. Dimensionally, the Hime Joint is similar in size to a conventional ball joint or tie rod end found in selected vehicle suspension systems. While it does offer the rotational capability of the ball joint, it lacks the connecting insert to allow it to act as a ball joint or tie rod end. The newly invented tapered, or alternatively, straight insert provides that added capability.
When the conventional upper and lower ball joints or tie rod ends are replaced with the Hime Joint and the newly invented tapered or straight insert is installed, new and unexpected results occur. The Hime Joint, when fitted with the newly invented tapered or straight insert provides proportionally greater vertical and or horizontal travel. This extra travel results in a dramatically improved suspension system; one that is up to eighty percent stronger and weighs less than the conventional ball joint system. Additionally the unsprung weight of the suspension system is reduced and handling is vastly improved. Friction is also greatly reduced compared to the conventional style ball joint.

I can't believe I have not hit one on something yet. Are the ones that have broken been hit or is it spinning tires and then getting traction breaking them??
