I've been inquiring about this TerraFirma track rod kit for about a month now and it seems nobody has them in stock or any track rod kits for that matter. Been talking with Justin over at Lucky 8 about the possibility of putting some kind of alternative kit together for me but no promises. RoversNorth wont have the kit in for "months". DAP Enterprise doesnt have any kits and Atlantic British only has 1 tie rod end. My Disco desperatly needs both track rods/tie rod ends and I'm running out of options. Ill call Justin again tomorrow but if he cant find anything, might anyone on the forum know of another quality track rod kit available for our Disco's? And is there any known reason why all these companies dp not keep these kits in stock? Maybe track rod kits dont wear out to often in most cases?

The kit in question:
Lucky8 Llc. - Take the road less traveled...

PS: Forgot who quoted it today but one representative made this statement about TerraFirma: "TerraFirma is a little to good for their own good, they are unable to keep up with the demand for their own products..."

 

Save your money, you dont need it.
You said yourself you will never take your truck off road, you only need that kit if you plan on serious offroading with oversized tires and you plan on bouncing your truck off of boulders.
For driving like a normal person, waste of money.

 

Spike my track rods are bad and need to be replaced as it is and this kit is actually cheaper than the genuine replacement. I have enough cash to order the part. Yes the TerraFirma kit is heavy duty but Lucky 8 sells a even stronger track rod kit made from stainless steel. Justin said that kit is really expensive. So I think I can manage with this TerraFirma kit and honestly I cant very well operate my Disco if the track rods completely give out....

 

oh and I have every intention of bringing my Disco off-road.... eventually. Right now I just have other more important priorities to attend and I'd like to complete Disco Mikes service list and add some mods before ever I take her off the pavement. But considering shes my daily driver, I wont be doing any extensive modding or off-roading (no rock crawling, no death jumps etc).

 

DA5509 Disco II HD Steering Rods W/Tie Rod Ends

Not sure they have them in stock either, but here is another possible source.

 

Never even heard of British Outfitters before Ill wait to hear back from Justin at Lucky 8 then Ill give these guys a call. Hopefully somebody has one in stock - certainly prefer a HD kit vs genuine. Thanks for the link.

 

Those are good people to work with. It took me a while to find them, but they were the only ones who carry the bumper I wanted in this country. Lovely folks.

 

I ordered the TF steering bars almost a month ago, still waiting to get them on the truck. Luckily, I chose a great vendor who provides me w/ periodic updates. Class act.

In the meantime, I pray every time I go a over a bump in the road. Sounds and feels like the front wheels are gonna break loose Please hurry TF, I need you.

 

You have bad steering components that endanger you and everyone on the road around you, but you won't fix them because you can't find the perfect parts? Brilliant.
