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
