I like the chunk of bedframe idea.

I saw a guy bend a tie rod popping over the top of a gully in a Jeep CJ5 with a souped 350. That thing was so pigeon toed that we took the tie rod off right there...

But that's a story for the off topic thread...

Next time I saw the guy he had a piece of angle iron welded on it. Busted a tie rod end that day...

You need your head, your brains are in it.
