You could drive a tractor trailer throught that grey areaand the function of the steering does not change from oem, then it would not alter the legality.
Until the welded tie rod fails and you kill someone. What if the weld causes the tie rod to fail?hmm i think ill just weld to it and get another tie rod to throw in if i get a VI
whats gona fail??? the mount tab for the ram at the tie rod, if that happens the ram becomes detacted from the tie rod, the tie rod isnt stock its upgraded FJ80 highsteer i dont see how welding to it would weaken it that much, besides where could you even find a tie rod with an extra attachment?Until the welded tie rod fails and you kill someone.

Just find a tie rod that has an extra attachment point for a stablizer or something. If your going to do it, do it right. I never understand why people try to get around logical safety rules? Or why I have to drive down the highway beside vehicles that are changed to pass VI's.
Not welding to steering seems logical given anyone can make a nice looking weld with a mig.
