Hey, Jim did you do something to reinforce the tie rods? I'd hate to see you pull one of my stunts.

I got my truck to launch smooth and strait but I still bent one. If I ever get my turd back together. I plan on using Super Diesel tierod sleeves. They're simple and cost effective. I'd hate to see you put the pretty truck of your's into the wall. I know I come close to the wall several times.

you are still leting the truck lift and the tierods get at an angle. i bet they are super strong when kept level with the ground. i would hate to break one too, hope it dont happen.
