Hey Sparling, how's that rig coming?
Oh you got me! Problem is, it's in CS and I haven't had time to get it, and someone tried driving it and now it doesn't start.

JB this is what I would do for steering. you would just need to get the knuckles and pitman arm reamed out to 1 ton taper.
What about those TRE inserts ruffstuff has? Are they okay to use or should those be avoided if you're upgrading?

I would only use those inserts if I was on a real tight budget, what happens if those become loose?
How? They have a lip to keep them from going all the way through and the nut on the TRE will keep them from coming out the other way.
I guess it really shouldn't cost much more than those inserts to get the knuckles reamed if you take them off and to a machine shop or find someone who has a reamer though.
pretty sure I have a reamer somewhere. I purchased one after Vilas ****ed up my 60 knuckles after I took them to be reamed
I am not keeping the 30 though.
I have those inserts on my cj and havent had a problem with them. I borrowed JBs GM reamer a few yrs back to do my d-30 knuckles. . . . I know I returned it to your place off hwy21.
What are you going to go with?

What I did for my steering for a cheap fix and held up great until i blew the motor, was i took the tie rod and slid a piece of schedule 40 pipe over the whole thing and welded it to both ends. That seemed to help a lot and was cheap. Before that it seemed like i would put a kink the steering every trip. A trail fix that i learned at trees was to pull the steering loose, straighten as much as possible, pull one end free and slide the handle of your high lift over it and reassemble
just get another T post
The T-post tie rod broke off at the end of the t-post
