Nice, you only can replace the one tie rod end, the other one, you need the hole tie rod, at least on my 83. Im just going to do it when I replace the hole rack.

**cxramire** · 11-21-2011 10:47 PM

my wild daughter brooklynn

**cxramire** · 11-21-2011 10:53 PM

and the bad coolant hose blew out and didnt have my tow hooks like and idiot and no other place to put tow chain so gives me a great excuse to change my core support to single round crosshairs

the damagae

**Stilladub** · 11-22-2011 10:51 AM

It was nice to see this project in person and meet you Chris, I was quite impressed. That sucks about the core support but I'm sure you'll have it changed out in no-time. Congrats on the win, even if it was by default!

**low_passat** · 11-22-2011 11:15 AM

Damn...hope I didn't jinx it by joking that you had to bring the FJ to tow the Rabbit home...

How far from home were you?
