Greetings,
BLUF: Can’t find tie rods beefy enough. Please help!

I have been trying to find suitable tie rod end replacements for the ‘06 TJ I bought some months ago. Stock sized tie rod ends don’t seem to hold up to this build. I have posted pictures below of the passenger side tie rod end with a measuring tape next to it. I have not been able to find anything that matches it. Any help in finding the right place to look would be appreciated!

James

What front axle are you running? That might help find the correct part. Maybe post a picture of the steering setup, that doesn't look like TJ anything but I'm sure somebody here might have an idea what it is. I would at least be sure you know what you have before you spend money on anything.
