Went for a morning ride and hit a trench. Bent the tie rod and locked up the steering. The tie rod end got stuck on the lower control arm and I had a hell of a time getting it off so that I could limp back to camp. I was about 5 minutes into my ride:(
Hopefully I can ride tomorrow or Monday.

That don't look to bad.
I would leave that top A arm as is because if you try to straighten it out there in the bush with a hammer you will kink the pipe. Straighten the steering rod with a hammer and good to go. You could probably put that steering rod into the trailer hitch on your truck and pull it by hand to get it straight.

You'll have to hoserize those tie rods when you get home.
