the rustys track bar is 1.5x.25 DOM. quarter. wall. DOM. far superior to the ZJ tie rod. it also uses the stock TREs, which are cheap, that it sounds like you need to replace.
the ZJ one is garbage. ive bent quite a few. im a believer that the bends in it are a stress riser. and you will also need an adjuster and a second TRE. driving up costs...
For a rig thats 4-wheeled like Walt does (it is Walt, isn't it?), I'd agree with him. For a daily driver... do you want to spend $100 and get 1.5" quarter wall DOM + whatever crappy tie rod ends Rusty's is shipping these days, or do you want 1" solid stock from Moog for around the same price?
FWIW I've had ZJ tie rod on mine for years with no issue, DDing mostly and some "Wow, this forest service road SUCKS" accidental 'wheeling.
Unless I'm misreading... Gary, you could probably be happy with replacing exactly what you have on there right now.
