Next mod for me is to upgrade my stock toothpick tie rod. I thought about the ZJ tie rod, but liked the idea of building my own with DOM tube.
After going through our tap/die collection at work, I couldn't find LH taps for other common TRE thread sizes like 3/4-16 or 11/16-18. But I found both RH and LH taps for 7/8-18 thread which is the same for 1-ton tie rod ends.
At the moment, I'm not willing to ream out the knuckles for a larger taper and I'm keeping the stock inverted-Y setup. Mainly I would like to take advantage of the larger diameter of the tie rod tube and not having to spend money on 2 taps. Is there a set of 7/8-18 TRE's with stock XJ taper? Part numbers or donor vehicle info would be great.
