Default Tie rod stuck...need help!!

I'm on my phone and the search function isn't working for me so forgive me, but I'm trying to adjust my toe in and the tie rod won't move at all, I've heated up the ends and used pipe wrenches on both sides of the bar with a buddy and it won't budge...that being said haven't I read that there's a one ton setup from moog that'll work on my stock steering if I end up having to replace the whole thing...thanks

If you have to replace it just get a v8 zj (93-98) grand cherokee tie rod. Can't help ya on the adjustment but just heat and cool and pb blaster til it lets loose?

Don't bother fixing it just go and buy the Currie HD steering. It is the beef! All 1.25 inch solid tubing! I smashed it at chinamans so hard i pushed it back and dented the steering stabilizer and dragged it over a huge rock and it had a slight bend in it. Any other steering setup would have folded and left me stuck on the trail, trust me I have broken a few steering setups. It has a super nice solid feel on the road too. My jeep drives like a porsche!!

The Currie won't leave you like me on Holy Cross before my upgrade: I think the tow is off a little!! The drag link is actually touching the passenger tire!



Here is the Currie
