I don't think he's going 3" on the cat...probably way overkill. That's probably the muffler he's thinking of though. I believe they make that with the stock 2.25" and a 2.5" inlet outlet.

Magnaflow makes a cherokee specific high flow cat. Thats what I have on mine and probably what he's going with if I had to guess.

Yep, exactly this Joe, but that is the muffler I'm going with.

I promise I have several big updates for you guys, but I am now in the processing of moving so it's slowed me down for the time being.

In the mean time, drop my rig a like here. Hopefully I can pull the hat trick and win it for us XJ guys for the 3rd week in a row.

Well not quite the huge update post, but moving is taking up most of my time right now.

After much research, decided to give the Exide AGM battery a shot. Tons of great reviews and a solid price when compared to the Odyssey and XS Power batteries I was considering.

Out with the old and in with the new Dirtbound battery tray

Still need to install the XJwonders cables and terminals along with the fuse box, but that will have to wait until I'm in the new house

And last, a sneak peak at what's mostly done, but still needs some adjustment and some paint

I don't think they make the diehard platinum anymore? That's originally what I was going to go with as well. The tray is nice and only 45 bucks iirc

Here's the one I bought. Looks like it's $50 right now. They constantly have promo codes out there though so I'm sure some digging could find one.
