Pretty typical; I fixed mine temporarily by bending the tie-rod out away from the axle. I fixed it permanently by installing the IRO OTK steering setup.

I don't think I will get away with bending that tie-rod. Its a Currie Currectlync so they are 1.25" solid rods. I think I am going to get some JCR sway bar mount re-locators, that way if I want to go OTK I should be clear.

Ah. Incidentally, that's why I stayed away from the Currie setup.

This past weekend I coated my whole Jeep with Herculiner. I am in love with the look. Plus she really turns heads

Looks great! I'm looking to do mine, too. Are those eBay clear corner markers, or did you buy them from a site?
