Question

Curious. Did you waste your stock tierod.....at Tierod? Just wondering why you had to replace it. Mine has a frown and has been taken a beating over the year but pretty durable considering.

Most of the stuff is half the price of what you get at the dealership. And it is legit.

Yeah the factory one is pretty durable in my opinion. I hit it last year and it has a slightly noiticeable bend. Where I really screwed up was when my brother and i took it off a few months ago to change my diff fluid. When we went to put the tie rod back on we couldn't get stud on the ends to not move so we tore up the boot to hold the ends in place so we could thread the nut. Little did I know there's a hex opening on top to hold the stud in place. Oh well now I have a much beefier tie rod.

Default bumper

Today I installed a new rockhard stubby front bumper, and a hi-lift jack mount. One with instructions and one without....not a bad at all!

today's 'mod'
