Tie Rods Replacement timeframe? (inner/outer)

I'm at 106k miles on my '02. I have LBJ's on hand and plan to replace those soon for peace of mind, but wondering if I should knock out the inner/outer tie rods while I'm down there.... so, what mileage are folks typically replacing the tie rods on these trucks?

The OEM inner/outer tie rods are running about $400, so would be cool to skip them this go-around if possible and tackle them at the next LBJ replacement in another 40k-60k miles.

 

If the tie rods don’t have any play when you shake the wheel side to side don’t worry about it.

 

Test your tie rods first unless you just want to change them anyways so you don't have to worry about them. But changing them are easy, all you need is a large adjustable wrench to remove the inner. Beauty of the exposed rack. An hour or so is all you need on them. Don't forget an alignment and try to mimic the original position of the the tie rods so it's not as crazy when u drive to the shop. Or youll need to do a generic rope alignment first.
