Thanks Dirtmomma,
I sent him a PM to see how much he wants for just the ties rods.

 

Oh man TP is looking for A-arms too?! Not good. He still better be going to Moses this weekend. Hey Joel if you want i can loan you a YAMAHA!? I'm going to have a full load going over there. 2 yamaha warriors, badger 80, kawasaki 500 and a CJ5 jeep, BBQ, dog kennel, 50 gallon water barrel. Joel or Joelene are you still planning on going? Sounds like alot of people are going. I cant wait to get in Daves jeep (you will see who i'm talking about if you come), he has paddle tires on it and it does wheelies, well that is what justin said. If it does i'm all over it!! Let me know you too!!

 

Rod,

Something you may consider when getting stronger parts:Sacrificial components.
If you make the one component stronger, where's the load going to be transfered to? Will that component be dammaged if the tie-rod doesn't bend? If it does, is it more expensive than a tie-rod?

Take the bumper for instance: The cheesey little brackets bent, but the frame is still straight.

I don't know what will happen if you hit a tree, rock or your riding partner with stiffer tie-rods, but I'd get stock tie-rods.

Just my opinion.

 

Orr you could me like me and have strong tie rods and weak ball joints everywhere so when you hit the tree your tire goes flyin and you just have to replace ball joints. lol(Ithink i would rather have a bent Rod) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Hey, I've never hit one of my riding partners. I appreciate the advice. I was just wondering if billet aluminum tie rods are as strong as OEM or if they are just for weight savings.

 

There prolly stronger but instead of bending the break????
