Has anyone done this? Any tips or anything I'll need besides the new inner and outer tie rods?

i've only done outer tie rod.
measure where it threads on so you can at least get a decent alignment to drive to the shop for an alignment.
I had to use a tie rod pickle fork to get mine out.

Neither is that hard unless rusted, some heat maybe needed , inner is really not much harder than the outer, just turn wheels right to get to the other side etc

yeah. BFH for sure.
Do I need a tie rod puller for the inner?
Are good zip ties or hose camps good for securing boot clamps that might break?

On a 07 I had this kind of security tabs on the inner ones - http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f196/inner-tie-rod-replace-07-a-60087/
You can't really hammer them in. The space doesn't allow that. I used a hacksaw blade cutting in the tie rod until the bent part fell away.
