What kind of grease are you guys using on your Jeeps?

I have new tie rod and drag link ends that need "topped off" and would like to know if any of you can recommend what to use. I am in San Antonio Texas for reference.

I would refer to what the manufacturer of the component recommends.
copy that, will reach out to them.

I've used marine grease in the past while I was in Oregon. Different rig, area, and components now. Thank you for the reply.

I assume these are aftermarket pieces as I don't recall any zirc fittings on the OEM components. Anyway, years ago I bought the Lucas red 'n' tacky grease to repack CV joints, driveshaft splines and general zirc fitting for ball joints and tie rod ends. I have no complaints with it - and back when I did research on it that seemed to come up with top reviews. It was also readily available at the parts store so I didn't have to special order it.

I use Lucas Red’n’Tacky or Mystic JT6.

Now I just need to find a grease gun that doesn’t leak when it’s warm to hot outside.

That looks exactly like my Husky, except mine is red. Leaks out of multiple locations.

If you are a hardcore wheeler, who sees a lot of terrain, including lots of water, this is about as good as it get. Been using it for over 25 years..

There are no zerk fittings on the stock components of a JL, correct.
