Built for the ICON 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma, Extreme Duty Tie Rod Kit, this ICON Vehicle Dynamics component delivers rugged durability, precise fitment, and trail-ready performance. Engineered for serious off-road use while maintaining everyday drivability.
The strength limitations of the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma's factory steering tie rods have been well documented over the years, especially by Tacoma owners who venture into the big rocks with big tires. These ICON XD Forged Tie Rods remedy this with better materials and beefier dimensions than the stock units. The inner tie rod and ball stud is CNC machined from 4140 chromoly with metal-on-metal bearing surfaces for durability that far exceeds the plastic inner races of the factory components. The adjustment threads are 12% larger in diameter compared than stock Tacoma tie rods for a further increase in strength. The outer tie rod is forged steel and has the same profile as the stock tie rods for fitting all of the Tacoma's factory wheel diameters and offsets, along with just about any aftermarket wheel. The tie rod end is a beefier, metal-on-metal joint that is greaseable for extended service life and has the same range of operating angle as the stock tie rod ends. For the most hardcore of off-roaders, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod kit is recommended as part of a comprehensive steering system upgrade strategy.
