Oh woah, I didn’t realize you were that close! I could drive your way one weekend to do the programming before installing the rack if your open to that? I’d love to make a video of the process to help others as well…. Or we could wrench it in together as well and film that too?
Sounds good, weekends are wide open for me.
Great! I’ll pm you in the next few day and we can set something up
These are my notes on part numbers gathered from B6G. (Please verify from 3rd party to ensure accuracy)
The weak link idea can work fairly well in practice, so long as the weakest link is stronger than what you'd expect to see on the trail and you're able to stop and fix it right then and there. Otherwise you'll get into a situation where your ability to offroad is dependent on how many spares you can bring with you. Sorry man, that trail is too long, I only get 3 miles per tie rod and I only brought two tie rods with me...I'm going to need at least one to get home as it is. The other side to that equation is that you don't immediately realize it broke and you get yourself in a situation where the broken part is damaging stuff that's not part of the replaceable fuse equation, such as a u-joint failing on a front axle and then taking the yoke out after it repeatedly beats it to hell. Then you're out a u-joint plus an axleshaft that you didn't think you'd need a spare for. Driveshafts are the same way too, if you break a u-joint and the engine slings it all over the place bashing it on rocks or tearing up your undercarriage, that weak link just caused you a lot more problems.
Yeah...sounds like the little plastic bushings inside the housings are breaking which then allows the ram to rub metal on metal not to mention jump off it's track.

Rubber Tie rod with a stiff coil spring in it?
