Thrush Muffler
So earlier on I described how my muffler was installed. And how they did such a Crappy job.
well it's rubbing through my E-brake line. Which isn't a big deal. Since my E-brake only works on one wheel. And it's Rubbing though the Side that I don't have it on. But it's left its mark on my Rear Axle. And how Crappy they welded it together! AS you can tell in the pictures.

So now i'll be getting even less work done on my XJ. If you own a XJ and you work on it at night. Just make sure that your Either not in city/suburbs Or your in the country. Because boy City folk sure do like to call the cops on you.

They aren't crager's But they are Similar. Cheaper actually $45 dollars each. & Here come's the Bigger news. I rolled the Jeep over Last Night. Lol Not what you think. I rolled my ODO to 173k! Oh and... my jeep makes a knocking noise now. Well I'm not even sure what to call it. I can't remember hearing it before. Oh well its not TO bad. And I get a smell of something burning in the Interior. oh well. And I don't know if ill have a update for a week. I'm Spending time with my sister. She got in a accident She's Physically fine. But Very upset.
But Tonight i'm going over to the family friend who's going to help me finish the fender flare's help me remove rear sway bar. Make the Cargo roof rack.. And fix My exhaust.
Here's My jeep Parked Next to a Complete stocker.
And here's the Exhaust tip.

Update. Very unhappy with results
Took my sway bar off today. Fixed the exhaust and my fender flare. Exhaust sound's so much better! and it's tucked up more into the body. With the black chrome Tip on it. look's amazing. Now on to what i'm unhappy about. First My leaf springs now have a Backward's arc. As in they are completely shot. My Clearance from tire top to fender well Is now 5 inches in the rear:/ front is 6. It doesn't sound like a big deal but i don't like it So if i put in a bastard pack from a dakota. I'm hoping it will level it out to the point where the rear end has lift again. Along with all new shocks.
In this picture you can defiantly tell that my suspension is shot.
This is going to be what i make my Cargo rack out of. It's only 26 inch's wide. But I want atleast 36 inch wide one. So i might make one by hand.
Picture's of What i did To come tomorrow. to dark to take any.

So today I woke up went to go take pictures of the Jeep. And it was right up against my garage wall. No damage was done but I found out that the parking gear isn't holding the Jeep so I guess I'm stuck using the ebrake and parking gear but it holds itself after backing up and putting it in park

I had a chance to get a white 2 door 89 with a 3 in lift stock runs and tires 180k and front winch. For 1850
I wanted a car more at that point in time. And didn't get it. Now I feel really stupid:/ but working on the DJ is so much better than listening to little kids get mad and say some pretty immature stuff

Update
Well guy's lately I've turned to my other vehicle. A 99 Ford Ranger Sport 2wd 5 SpdW/Od. Great truck to Run. 117Hp 246 ft lb Torque. Fun truck to drive. Pretty good on Gas. Compared to the Jeep. Lately it's been getting 6 MPG. Plus I did drag race a V6 toyota Corolla. I lost 
But the Ranger is lighter compared to the jeep too. About 1/2+ Less than the jeep. So it's my Other toy I get to toy with. But lately She doesn't want to start. Tried the battery. wasn't it. Starter clicks. But sounds like it doesn't spin. Thinking it may just be the starter. Or neutral Switch. Starter first though. So I'll be spending time on doing this for atleast the next three days. Then next weekend back on the jeep.
