The Lair

He came down onto a rock with his tie rod end and it sheared the entire thing right at the jam nut. Wildest thing ever.

 

This is one reason why I have the beefy upgrade.

 

He has the beefy upgrade too. Well, had.

 

Oh? Which version?

 

If I heard the name I would probably remember but I’m not sure. What’re the popular ones?

 

Metal Cloak, but I'm pretty sure it's not those. They're obvious. Teraflex. Synergy.

 

Teraflex sounds right. I wanted to say there was an X sound in there. The only other thing I know is he said it’s 2.5 ton steering

 

I'm not sure about the last deal. I have the Metalcloak version and it's waaaaaay beefier than stock. He must've hit that thing in the very right spot.

 

I took a screenshot of an already screen recorded video, so here’s a shitty quality pic of it.

 

That's just crazy. I would just go home at that point. I just went out to look at mine and I don't even understand.

 

It must have been the perfect hit.

 

Wonder if they'd warranty it.

 

Probably. I'll try and get a new one under warranty and then replace all of them anyways and try and sell off the old ones for a few bucks. I'm doing some reading and radial tires are much better suited for long highway driving, and these are cheap bias ply. They're also D rated, so I'll get some new E rated radials.

Edit: you were clearly talking about his tie rod and not my tire, that’s what I get for tacomaworlding and watching tv.

For reference....

 

Mmm that’s chonky. I realized we can just tag him and ask him what steering he has. @HolyHandGrenade

 

Another Jeep invader!

 

Hey Randy, that Jack definitely made that ordeal way easier. Thank you again.

It’s RPM 2” solid aluminum, 2.5 Ton (as advertised anyway) Steering. I would say that it was indeed the perfect hit.

 

It's only the 2-ton jack so color me impressed that it was able to lift my loaded trailer with ease (8,000 lbs). What a crazy break, that has to be at least 1" in diameter of solid tie rod end. Hey, lessons learned for next time.

 

I didn't know Weird Al was into offroading! Is this research for a new album?
