From Memphis it was about a21 hour drive.

As for the tie rod. There were several factors that we think contributed to it failing.

First is that the disconnected sway bar was hitting it and causing it to bind.

Second there is a problem with people who run the AC/SLR arms and are also running the Calmini SS. Everyone else that was running the Calmini SS and Calmini arms had no problems (Xtoolbox also bent one and he has either the AC or SLR arms - I forget)

Third was he was hopping the front end trying to get up a nasty rock when it happened. (you will see it on the video)
