He was lifted and locked front and rear and had made many heavy duty parts for his VX including the tie rods.

WOW!!!!!
That is all I have to say about that VX and the pics.

As far as tie rods, I have the complete OEM end set, brand new, I am gonna swing by Trident Tech next week and see what they can come up with. If not, I will be callin Indy, I do agree with the do not reinvent the wheel concept, I just want to cover all my options. I am seriously considering going with the Stinky Fab "bent" rear links, they are the lowest part of the VX, and I think would be very susceptible to damage on rocks. They also limit my skid plate options in the rear.
I doubt I will do this before Moab, I will also get some contacts at the Uhwarrie meet. 2 weeks till Uhwarrie, 1 month till Moab!!!!!!!!!:bgwb:

of course, I was just assuming that the weak link of the tie rod was the center piece. You could step up to any truck rod end, as long as dia. and length is correct and have the 1 inch hex stock drilled and tapped accordingly

Check for fitment on the bent links. They may hit on your slider mounts. This has been a problem in the past. Another option is to have your stock links "sleeved". Have a fab shop cut off one end, sleeve it and then weld the end back on. Or they can just build you a set of heavy duty links.
