    Stock as can be. 2nd owner, mild rust from Illinois owner. Frame is solid and plan on just getting a toolbox for the bed, black steel wheels and some 31x10.5R15
    So im fixing to swap my inner and outer tie rods, along with some new LBJ. Still all original at 184k.

    Anyway, I'm coming to realize my 2 new Moog Brand bellow boots came with zipties as fasteners, NOT the proper metallic clamps.

    I'm having a hard time finding them, and am curious if anyone has a part number for them?
    Also, does anyone have experience with the inner tie rod removal tool from AutoZone? Does it work well on our trucks?

    I took a look yesterday.
    They’re way narrower than the stock ones. I ran zip ties for a long time and they worked fine.
