That's a great set of pictures and posts, isnt it? I couldnt stop laughing and wondering when I first found the link.

I think this link should work, though.

I have an 8 inch lift on a 95 F150 that I just switched to a solid D44. The junk yard tie rod ends from the solid D44 are a little worn (both the tie rod ends and drag link). They told me that they could build a drag link with heims and put it on top of the lower knuckle (so it would connect above the tie rod on the knucke instead of on the tie rod) which would make my angles (trac and drag) exacltly the same.
they said the heims handle angles better, and they can do it for about the price of getting everything from Ford. The new rods and ends were like 250 and they quoted me about 250-300. I do not do alot of four wheeling sorry to say, but i definteley need new TRE all the way around.

I see, so the TRE's will not pop out after wear. Or is this so rare that it is not a worry. Is there a safety for the TRE's as well? The http://www.performanceunlimited.com/steering/ website seems to talk pretty high of the heims. I calle them first and they talked like they were preffered.

I bought an 83 Bronco years ago that had no engine, I knew that at one time the guy was putting a 460 in it but I assumed he never finished it and used it in something else. After I got the Bronco, someone told me that he didnt bother using proper engine mounts or a rear sump pan-he just set the engine on an old piece of seat foam on top of the crossmember and chained the engine down and suprisingly after a while, something started knocking in the engine!!!!! After the engine puked, he pulled it out and sold me the Bronco. When I finally got around to putting an engine in it I noticed the chuncks of chain still welded to the frame, so the tale must have been true!!!!!!!!!

It's not pretty, but it looks stout. Except for the lack of welding and the undercuts on the braces. If properly done the re-bar would work fine as big as that stuff was. You have to remember that not everyone is as educated as us, or has any money. They just want to have fun, hopefully not taking a life with it, but to many people their life or yours isn't worth the worry anyway. That's why we have laws and hopefully semi-knowledgeable people enforcing them.
I have to admit though, the pics and the narrative are pretty entertaining.
