Going to echo what some people said. 2nd on moog from Rockauto. I've gotten my ZJ V8 Tie rod there and a few other TRE's off RA. So far no issues. The beefy ZJ tie rod will definitely be nice on trails. Less likely to bend unlike the XJ hollow piece of crap(have bent mine a tad before and alignment shops couldn't give me an good alignment because of that before being replaced). What others haven't mentioned- when you do the ZJ V8 tie rod you also get to add a slightly beefier TRE on the drivers side knuckle. That's a plus too.

The ZJ setup won't change feel or drivability, it's just way more beef (solid steel instead of hollow tube) so less likely to bend while off-road.
A set of rancho 9000. The adjustment actually works and you can tell a difference. Probably best bang for your buck.
KYB Gas a just is a monotube like Fox, Rancho, Bilstein, on the economical side, and still perform well for a daily driver.
No issues on mine, I paired them with my method racing wheel, trail series. This is on my KL.
I have them on my XJ, and I’m going to get another pair when they wear out. I purchased and returned three sets of tires from other brands before settling on these.
Can't speak on the Mickeys, but I have 35" Ridge Grapplers on my Gladiator that ride real nice, noticeably softer and nicer than the Falken Wildpeaks that were stock, and I have had zero traction issues on rain, snow, or ice.
My 2000 TJ is on its third radiator, so about every 7 years. The plastic and metal OEM type ones eventually go, but since they are around $100, and easy to replace, I just keep putting them in.
Major repairs: rebuilt the engine (4.7L) at 133K because the oil filter blew off at speed, and spun a bearing.
A month or so later the radiator shits the bed, no warning lights until it goes into limp mode. I replace the H2O pump and thermostat just for good measure but ultimately it's got a cracked head gasket. I suspect this was an existing problem that was made much worse when I stupidly tried to drive it home after overheating lol. That was another $3k... honestly in the first 6 months that car was in the shop almost as often as it wasn't .
