Nice man! It's gonna be awesome at RC to see everyones new mods lol

Unfortunately one of my mods is going to be a new steering rack. Mine just started leaking pretty bad where the steering wheel linkage goes into the rack. It's not something that can be fixed. But I got over 116,000 on the OEM rack so can't complain

Is that an expensive replacement?

[07JeepXK]

Hell yea it is and the worst part is I don't even think I can get a reman unit. I read something a while back on one of the forums that there is a difference between the GC and Commander rack and when you buy a reman unit you don't know who've vehicle it came out of. Easy to replace but that's stealing money away from another project on the XK

It's going to cost me about $675 for a new rack

I remember talking about this the other day

There is some discussion on the facebooks about Dave's Offroad in PA making some upgraded parts for the XK/WK steering assembly. I'm not totally sure what all it entails, or when it will be ready though..

Probably just beefier inner & outer tie rods, which won't help the steering rack at all. Would love to replace the rack & pinion with a steering box setup; a lot more options for beefing up components to stand up to the angles of our lifts.

I'm having two problems with my steering rack right now and neither of them are the inner or outer tie rods. I'm leaking fluid where the steering wheel linkage goes into the steering rack. My buddy jay had the same problem with his WK and they don't make replacement parts to fix that. I also have a problem with the internal part of the steering rack where the inner tie rod screws into the drivers side. My only option is to pull the rack and install a new one. No big deal. It will only take me about 2 hours to do.
