Tie Rod upgrade?
Let my father borrow my 98 XJ so he could haul some firewood out of the woods on his property and got a call saying the tie rod snapped (he said the left side won't turn, so it might just be a tie rod end?). It's stuck in the back 40 (literally!) so this is gonna be a fun...
Who makes a good tie rod upgrade? or should I just put in another stock tie rod/tie rod end for now? Mods done to the Jeep are: 4.5" RC Leaf Spring Lift RC Long Arms 2" Rear Shackles ACOS Upgraded Tracbar

The V8 ZJ tie rod will be a huge improvement.
