Peak Tie Rod Reinforcement Sleeves

[Tacoma_bs24]

Just got the tie rods reinforcement sleeves in today from peak. These replace the jam nut and add some extra strength at the area that usually fails. I’ve seen plenty of tie rods bend and break so I want to be pro active with preventing that or being prepared, I have a set of replacements in my gear bag as well. I should be able to have them installed this week along with some other upgrades.

I couldn’t find any HD tie rod solutions so this will work for now. Apex makes hd tie rods for the 3g but I reached out to them and they didn’t have an eta for the 4g.

One of my buddies recommended keeping the weakest link or the fail point at an easier to replace part like the tie rods so I may just roll with them.

I’ll follow up with some installed pics and feedback.

Dude I didn't even know they carried these! That's pretty cool. I'd be interested to see some in-depth testing. Not just during wheeling and trails, but like building a fixture that holds an inner and outer rod end that then is subjected to strain until something breaks. Would be neat to see a side by side, with and without.
