Spare tie rods?

[NorCal Offroad]

Just wondering- does anyone carry spare factory tie rod ends when out Offroad? Is this a part that breaks when beating on the gen2? I can buy a handful of OEM parts for the price of the aftermarket ones. Thanks!

Spares are always a good thing while off road. Depending on how deep you go (giggity) and type of off roading should playbint9 the spares you should carry. UCA and tie rods are a good start.

Some spares, not ALL spares. Being able to get yourself home is nice. I take my factory UCA take offs as spares. But that all I bring besides wheels.

Fence wire, all thread, nuts and duct tape, a few hand tools.

what was it... abs & wheel speed sensors that get walloped by strewn rocks and debris, and take away the drive modes?

Yes. If you kill abs/wheel sensor the truck throws a massive hissy fit.

Wheel speed sensor is probably all you need parts wise unless your going 9/10’s in the whoops.

I care extra internal tie rods.

Used one once for someone’s Gen 3.

I also carry speed sensors but have had these fabricated to protect all the cabling for them now.
