Guess ill talk about my exhaust adventures now. First i had just a standard glasspack on there. Then i upgraded to a 2.25 flowmaster super40 and my whole exhaust was welding together. i tore off and mangled my tailpipe and what was left of my exhaust was a bunch of **** welded together. In the mail today i just got a new super 44 muffler, i combined that with a 2.5 tail pipe and a magnaflow cat, sounds great. i took a different appoarch this time. instead of welding it all together, i flanged all the connections and clamped them, this was if one piece breaks its not al stuck together.

Alright so im calling that caught up. Future plans for it are a 5" lift i have to rebuild, rebuild an 8.25 for the rear, rebuild front axle while its out, replace a ton of stuff while its on the lift, re-paint it orange, install my jcr unibody reinforcements, weld d-ring tabs on my bumper, make a light bar, make half doors, fender trim so i can fit 33s, make new fender flares(to stay legal in md), possibly reinforce stress points on the unibody while its on the lift, have a friend re-do my head, replace the headliner, and other crap i cant think of right now.
Today I let the girlfriend do some light offroading in it. she did alright, I was very surprised.

Please do yellow. It's so rare but looks sweet if it's done right! Nice, easy build though. I'll be going close to the same path with my 97
