The drag link has tabs welded to the tie rod with a heim at that end.
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

Nope.... but your close.....

I'm using a odd ball TRE, Napa #269-2716 (toyota taper stud, 23 mm thread with a cross hole) and a heim joint. the idea was on final assembly to cross drill the bolt & "nut" and install a cotter pin for safety which isn't shown.

Ahhh that front angle pic threw me for a loop..  I noticed the panhard mount and took it from there....   


That tie rod end looks like the one off of a fj60.  I was looking at one tonight actually. :greengrin:
