yah ik just joking... I will never touch the cat again... What happened was I cut it before cat when I put new motor in because I was going to put headers for some reason on it. Then I decided that was stupid and clamped it but was planning on welding it in the future... Just my luck the clamp fell off going down my gravel driveway and was only held by co2 sensor which saved exhaust... So I welded it up and the. Had probs with it stalling and running very bad. Thought it was a vaccume leak. I figured out that the wires running from co2 sensor were stretched and they touched each other giving I bad readings. So yah I should not be joking around when it comes to cats

I noticed my locker became completely
Invisible once I installed the new engine and transmission mounts. It's crazy how many things the mounts affect. It used to pop some in tight low speed maneuvers, but now there's nothing. I love having new mounts, minus the exhaust hitting the floor...

Took my roof rack and light bars off today, trying to find a streamlined way to put some new lights on the front and rear. I think I'm going to try to put flush mount pods beside the license plate on the hatch, and maybe hollow out the reverse part of my tail lights and put some pods behind that lens so it looks more factory, or maybe just find some bright leds to put in the reverse light holes. I have no clue what to do on the front.

I liked my 21" lightbar on the front bumper when I still had the stock bumper, but my new front bumper doesn't stick out enough to mount one on. I think my only real options are: in the front hitch, a pillar pods, or a lightbar mount for the roof. None of these are very appealing to me....

Forgot that I had put in heated seats, and made myself a lighted CB antenna so I can show it off and maybe sell some to friends and stuff Attachment 280500
Oh and the only reason the lights a little uneven is because I put that spray tint stuff on it so the antenna would still look black during the day, and some if it got chipped off so it shines brighter in places.

But mine was on a roof rack that stood up higher, and it weighs a good bit. Definitely a big difference. I think I got another half inch of lift just from taking it off.

Anyone know if there's an aftermarket catalytic converter that is smaller in diameter than the factory one but won't throw a code? My exhaust is now tucked too high since I did my trans mount and took of my tcase drop, and I don't want to rip my exhaust off again...
That was an issue somewhere else not directly to the cat, I got my jeep and the PO hollowed out the cat, never even through a CEL.
