On 3 different trips I've bent and replaced tie rods on the trail on my 04 Frontier. The last time I bent both tie rods and sheared the idle arm off the center link, couldn't get what was left of the arm out of the link. so everything had to be replaced on the trail. I had spare tie rods in the truck as they bend easy and a very common failure of the 1st gen Xterra and Frontier, also had a spare center link but I didn't have a spare idle arm. I had to leave the truck on th trail overnight and drive the 3 hours back to Denver to get the idle arm when Napa opened the next morning then drive back up and perform repairs. By the time I was starting repairs traffic on the trail was backing up as it was now Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend. I keep a foam snow slead in the truck for laying on it when working on trail.
