Dude, thanks! I've been so jealous of the braking system on my wife's '96. My '88 XJ's brake pedal reaches half way to the floor before braking takes place... Running 31's and living in a city notorious for sh!tty drivers... I need an upgrade.

Ok I just redid the orings on my oil filter relocation deal, at the same time I switched from 5-20 full synthetic (previous owner) to 10-30 synthetic blend.......my oil pressure spikes to almost 74lbs until its warmed up then goes back to 40 at idle 62on throttle could that be caused by the oring on the bolt leaking and bypassing the filter or more than likely the oil?

sounds a bit high, but nothing to be worried about. I run 5w-30 since it's easier for the engine to pump when it's cold.

Well the po changed had it 8 months. When he got it he switched from conv. To full synthetic and the motor already had 230000 miles on it. It developed a leak at the ofa and rms so I put new orings in adapter and switched to heavier blend and so far both leaks have stopped! Knock on wood lol

you'll hate it...trust me. I have a dump behind my flowmaster super 40 right now and even that is loud as ****. Open pipes sound like crap also...

Open up the rest of your exhaust and you'll gain some nice power. I run a Magnaflow hi-flow cat and that flowmaster muffler and it responds awesome to foot commands

I've had 'em almost a month, done some light mudding, took a 350 mile road trip on Saturday.. Comfy and quiet, riding 30x9.5. I see you'd be going a little larger.. probably a little more noise there. But, my local Firestone gave me an extra 15% off, for choosing Firestone over Goodyear(I told them I was leaning towards Duratracs, and they totally caved!)
Got all 4 for just over $500.
Damn, I just got destination a/t about a month ago, I should have told him I was leaning towards BFG lol

They are good tires so far can't wait for the snow

What's a "cat" when talking about exhaust? Is it the big square thing attached to the pipe?

See I knew that. But when I see people talking about it they say "never discuss taking it out" on the forum. Like, it illegal but don't people remove them and replace em with glasspacks?
