I have repeatedly broken or bent the current offerings for HD d2 steering stuff. My question is...has anyone fabbed their own stuff with DOM tubing and heim joints? If so...what do you use to replace the tapered tie rod ends?
Tapping is not necessary if you weld these on the end of the DOM...

Thats true if you want to run anything other than Rover TRE's. Drilling out the knuckles was going to be more of a pain that it was worth. Plus I wouldnt want heims on my steering.
And for refference the ID of the DOM Im runnig is 5/8"

Ive bent two steering links, but have never broken a TRE.
Somebody also made these guys, but I can't remember who.
It is nice, but serves no purpose.
The only real difference would be to sandwich the knuckle's TRE arm between two plates and use a heim joint in double-shear configuration.

Denny made those...and they actually do serve a purpose like Brett said and lets you use a heim without drilling out the knuckle says the parrot
