Alumiflex tie rod

trekker · Mar 27, 2004

Hey gang,
I am considering one of these but had a couple of questions. I have seen them advertised as being made by both Challenger Performance(out of business), and Toys By Troy. Are these the same?
Also, anyone with some experience with these, what do you think?
Thanks,
Todd

I love mine. It was a little too bling at first, but scratched aluminum looks even better. It is a solid bar of aluminum so it's pretty damn tough.

Not my jeep.

The cheapest place I could find for it is macromotive. HTH

Hey Terry,
Thanks for posting. Good to hear a review. I'm torn between the Alumiflex and the Big Daddy, which also sounds real beefy.

I don't know about the Big Daddy, but I went with the Alumiflex over any type of DOM rod because I personally didn't want to break anything due to a rigidity but rather let the parts flex out of the situation.

There aren't any adverse effects on-road either due to a flexy rod.

Thanks Okie, I am definitely leaning this way

I have a BigDaddy tie rod. It IS beefy, and I doubt it would EVER bend.
Terry's got a good point, though. A hard impact with mine is going to transmit shock/damage other places. (TREs, drag link, etc.) That's why I did the Goferit flip bushing for the driver's side. It puts the tie rod pretty much out of the way.
