You running a Synergy tie-rod ? I have the Drag-link coming & a Yetti trackbar installed.Installed a Rival4x4 Aluminum front bumper. Lower portion/skid should be here in a week or so.
Temporarily. I had a synergy tie rod/draglink sitting around the shop and figured I would install it while waiting for my axles. My fusion axles come with a 2.5 ton tie rod/draglink so I didn't want to spend a lot of money when I will be changing everything out very soon.
Oh for sure my buddy has tons & bigger tie-rod/drag-link on a JK w/LS engine. You should be able to handle most anything
I first tried using these as is. The little flat piece did not grip the strut and i yanked the mount off by hand. So i took the bolt to menards and found out it was a 8M 1.25 size. I found 8M strut nuts on ebay and bought a pack.
Back the turning knob thing all the way off, thread on the 8mm nut and then feed the strut nut on, re-assemble. Even though its designed for a thinner rail, with the strut nut I reefed on it pretty good and it didn't come out.
Not bad, you can obtain these for about $40-50 for 4 sweet mounts.

I am getting mine sprayed on Wednesday (Bullet Bedliner). Did they remove the latches on the side of the bed for the tonneau?Had the bed sprayed, decided on Line-X. The shop’s attention to detail was mediocre, they did not remove the rear mounts for the rail system spraying over them and broke one of the bolts for the rail system when reinstalling the rails.
OMG, don't show my wife she would INSIST I do this TOMORROW! WOW, that's cool.When you don’t have a tree...
I bought new Tacoma cleats from Amazon.
I've always put on the MOPAR type - on all of my Grand Cherokees, etc. and they help a ton on those, helped a lot when I put the GM offering on my Silverado, too - they help on my JT but when a vehicle has that much tire exposed - nothing is perfect, but they do help.
So how did you mount the front receiver, looks very good. I need to do something similar, to spot boat trailers.If I get a skid plate like planned I'll have to transfer the cutout to the plate but shouldn't be all that hard considering things I've done before. I'd likely cut and then re-powder coat it.
This will allow me to more easily park my car hauler in it's tight spot, and even mount a winch in the future if I'm so inclined by then.
It's specific to the JT front frame. It's literally bolt-on. All I had to do was cut out the air dam for it to protrude. Doesn't take long at all to do the install.
