Mine is the same way. Listening to her try to explain what she wants is hilarious. I usually know what she's talking about, but sometimes I'll play stupid for the amusement.

Probably not, I email RADESIGNS PRODUCTS about a twin stick using my stock rear mult-mode. So once he come up with it I should be starting on it. I don't like to post build-up cause some of the feed back are negative. Rather just send it to the ones who want to see, that the reason why I don't have one on here! Here some porn pic for ya!

Steering Rack Update:
I have had very sloppy steering conditions for quite a few months now. The 35's have taken a toll on the junk yard oem rack I have, so it's time to fix this issue. I feel like I'm one large pot-hole away from it just breaking to pieces.
I decided to try my luck with a non-OEM steering rack this time. From the research that I've done, there has been many disappointed users with over the counter auto parts store racks. The remanufactured steering racks just don't seem to hold up well. Since Safari LTD went out of business, I had a few other options but cost wise, all over $300 not including core charge and dealing with sending a core back.
I was able to pick up an AAE 3273N, which is a 100% new rack (not reman'd), from RockAuto for $234 shipped w/ no core charge or return. It does not come with any tie rods, which is fine. The rack is made by Atlantic Automotive Enterprises. They do have a reman'd version for a little cheaper but I much rather a new one. I used the forum coupon code for and additional 5% off. It does come with a 2 year warranty. I figured, if it has any chance of withstanding the rigorous task of taking on the 35's I'll know within that time period.
The unit comes nicely boxed and packaged. Also comes with paperwork and a tag that recommends flushing the power steering system after installing. Ordered it on Monday (10/17) and I received it on Thursday (10/20) via FedEx Ground. RockAuto is very quick with getting orders out same day when placed earlier in the day.

200k Club!
Officially in the 200k club as of yesterday evening! Aside from a couple quirks she runs great! I treated her to some new Auto Shifter bushings as well and now there's not more slop in the shifter. I replaced all 4 and all but 1 were completely disintegrated. Tight as a frogs ass now!!

That's the same one I got I belive. Leaked within a year. I paid $350 for the new one years back. Yours does have inner tie rods according to your picture. Those also failed in about a month time. They never come with outers. I replaced the inners with Moogs and then napa. They all failed. Spent over $200 for oem and are solid now. All said and done should have just bought an oem rack.
Also after talking with safari years back I found them to be Bulls hit. Never straight answer and could not explain to me how they upgraded the rack without blowing smoke.

Haven't thrown it in yet. Waiting to order tires so I can get all the alignment, balancing, etc all done in one fell swoop. My current tires are getting real low and I don't want to throw money into balancing them. I don't plan on using the ITR's as all my tie rods currently on the truck are oem and less than 30k old. We'll see how it plays out. My next tires will be a lot more vehicle and road friendly. These Trepador's are supper aggressive so they cause a lot of wander on the road and make for a rough ride.
