I ordered all the parts to perform the ZJ tie rod conversion and was wondering what ya'll recommend for a grease gun and grease to use? Thanks.

if you want to keep it relatively inexpensive:

If you purchased Moog parts they come unpainted. Make sure you paint everything up before installing.

I like the pistol grip Lincoln gun. Lucas Red n' Tacky grease has served me well. But I think you will find opinions on grease are about as volatile as opinions on motor oil!

Lucas red n tacky seems to be a common recommendation and it seems like you get your moneys worth compared to generic store brand.

Like @twistedlv says, lots of opinions on grease out there.

Are you off roading a lot in damp condiitions?
We get into a lot of swampy shit here. Goo/water and more goo and more water...
Marine grease works great.

Ultimately this isn't something that needs a cigarette and coffee to chew on...
Mobil 1 we have cases of...
But other stuff works fine too.


The key is not neglecting maintenance!!!

Bacon lard is better than no grease and runnimg dry.

Good luck

Yes, I did order Moog parts, thank you for letting me know.

I use redntacky - but can’t say it’s the best with any confidence, the only advice I have on a grease gun is to get one with the quick release lever. I have to unscrew mine and with grease all over that becomes futile quickly.
