Hey all, been reading these forums for quite a while just havent introduced myself. Just recently picked up a 85 Yota/chevy thing and am in the proces of fixing/ rebuilding cetain hillbilly parts of it. Details are in the sig. Glad to be aboard and hope to meet and be wheeling with you all soon. cant wait for Summer Bash, i spend half my life in the sand on quads and now to have a truck capable enough to play is fawking exciting  .   If any of you recognize the area dont worry this was just a shakedown run testing new brake and clutch stuff and all the "wheeling" was done on maintained areas and gravel pits. |

Ty for the welcomes . ya the tie rod and steering in general is on the long list of to do's on this thing. not quite sure what the previous owner was thinking with an aluminum tie rod, heavy front end and super wide tires ><. |

Welcome to poorboy. The theory on the aluminum tie rod is instead of bending it will flex and return. Not sure how it would hold up on heavier rigs. I use to just run 1/4" wall tie rods.

ya i seem to remember reading that somewhere before.. wish this one had returned to straight but hitting a stump at 20 mph will do that  . Just looked through your build thread btw poorboyuno and WOW what a transformation, very very impressive |
