I'm not sure if they have them, but Wal*Mart generally sells a wide array of products at reasonable prices.

Trail Duty for 230. You can also try printing it out from trail duty and bringing it to your local 4 wheel shop and see if they can come close. Thus avoiding shipping costs.

I read on the trailduty site, they will meet or beat if they can so I would assume first off you will save on tax right off the bat unless you live in Texas!

I must say I have bought from them before and they get the big...

The Fabtech tie rod suck you should look at cognito motorsports
Fabtech used the same weak ball joints (inner and outer) with billit aluiminum tie rod.
Cognito uses a 1 inch steel tube with hyme joints on both ends.I have them ad I am happy with them

Most all other brands sure look better and stronger.. but require you to drill out near the pivot points. This is fine...but I wouldn't do it. And then what will you do when you break one and need a spare? (like the bullet proof ones). Buy two sets? nah.
The reason I said to see if the local shop could come close to trail duty.. is my local shop said their cost from fabtech was 240. So i'm not sure how trail duty has them cheaper.. unless they make up for it in the outrageous shipping.
I paid 240. and had them in my hands. So I really can't complain.

No outrageous shipping when I ordered. I definately give trailduty a

It's surprising that your local shop would sell them to you at cost....

So funny how you tried to hide with your first IP and then f*cked up and gave up a real one the second time. How is Oceanside, BTW?

Too bad you don't know sh*t about ball joints either.

Cognito doesn't use hyme joints

I'm guessing your local shop lied to you about the cost?

Trail duty charges you actual shipping costs. They don't even charge one of those handling charges.

Other than that, he was spot on! Haha.

Well you never really know... they said 230 was below their cost. So.. Its a good thing I had on my shopping clothes... it got me their cost (or so they say).

Okay Stop fooling around... The best damn tie rods on the planet are here: $549.00 And forget about em!!

They are sure nice... but I don't like this part...

3. You next need to drill out the taper in the knuckle and pitman arm to accept the new, much stronger
straight non-tapered bolt included in the kit.
