poor mans Jeep!
I have a 99 Jeep cherokee I bought a year ago and finally got permission from the wife to lift it, she gave me a 800 dollar limit. I had a hard time figuring out what kit to buy and finally decided on a RC 3" lift and had money to spare so I ordered a new exhaust for it

I work for Oreilly auto parts and bought my exhaust from Amazon, its messed up when the parts I sell are 100 dollars cheaper than my good discount. Anyway I bought the dynomax system off Amazon and the front pipe and cat from work and saved a s*** ton of money on it. Its not the best but it sounds tons better than stock

It was incredibly easy to put the new system on when you have a sawzall. the upper bolts to the manifold scared me a bit but they came off with no hassle. I cannot say that for the u bolts tho. I will post some pics of the exhaust tomorrow when im installing the lift

The front end was so fast had it done in an hour but had to make a couple of Oreilly runs. Warranty sway links( didnt have to but I did) and rent a strut spring compressor. The back was a whole different story, my air tools took a crap so I had to do all the back by hand, what a b**** it was so rusty. I had to cut my front leaf spring bolts they were rusted bad. Nobody had the new bolts so I had to use one a bot shorter but it will work til the new ones get in

Well after all that I finally got it all put back together and it looks great. I do have a vibration when I am accelerating fast and I also have a weird popping sound thag seems to be coming from the front passenger side(the side my uncle was working on) I checked all the bolts and one was a bit loose on the sway link but I fixed that. It happens when im stopping, turning and backing up slowly. Any ideas?
