Lessons learned:
Do not hammer the insert into the tube.
Do not screw heim in without THROUGHLY cleaning the threads on the heim and the insert.
Doing this without a chop saw or horizontal ban saw sucks.
Do not touch hot surfaces.
The final product:

This is how we connected the drag link to the tie rod:

Why we clean threads of metal shavings before threading in heims:
What project would be complete without...
you were able to break a heim joint without it even on the truck??? Now that takes some talent, hope they don't break on the trail with the weight of a truck on it...

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
yes, but it took a 4 foot breaker bar b.c. the threads got jammed in the insert....still dont know why....i've still got tate's heims as spares 'til he pays me.
Just so everyone knows, now that the bird salute has become an icon of TAMOR, this is where it originated from, the first TAMOR salute, this is because they had to change an in the tank fuel pump at a gas station with 35 gallons of gas in it, with two scissor jacks.

Stumble in to the liquor store
With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
btw that one of Austin holding the hein and flipping off the part is the most pissed off lookin salute i have ever seen. GOOD FORM!

One will also note that the part must be propoerly disposed of. In the suburban photo, you will note the proper under-hand throwing technique. It imparts just the right amount of spin on a subruban fuel pump.
As well, credit must be given where credit is due. I believe that Jeffery Garner and Kevin Collins should be credited with the TAMOR part chuck/flipoff.

Just when you though it was safe to go back in the water...
i woulda been throwing it if it werent for the fact that it was $30 and has a lifetime warranty.
350+ miles and everything seems to be holding up ok
damn its nice to make left turns again
So, with this lifetime warranty, are they covered if they wear out and get loose, or only if they break?
i'm not sure, need to call later and find out.
