Not much to update but I had a thunderbolt high flow cat burned in a few weeks ago. I really like it. Definitely increased some throttle response and a mpg or two. Adds a nice bass to the flowmaster

Also, should be getting rid of the coil spacers up front after christmas and I'll be replacing them with new 2" lift coils. Around January I should be able to get a winch bumper as well. thats next on the list.

Not a whole lot to update but I got my Rusty's 2" lift coils and installed them. I forgot to snap pics of coils before install but we put them on in the rain & had to get creative...

Took her wheelin' a couple weeks ago, it was really wet out so the trail was definitely slick & the Duratrac's were definitely slingin'.

My buddy had a GoPro on his YJ & got video of me climbing up a slick hill. I'm open/open so I had to lay into the throttle to get up it.

When we went wheelin', I had serious heat soak issues so I installed some hood vents using Rugged Ridge metal CJ/YJ cowl vents. Works really well. They make great hand warmers in the cold...
This same weekend the 4.0 got tore down to trek down an exhaust leak which involved removing both pieces of the exhaust manifold only to find that there were no cracks and that one of the flanges had simply worked loose. Dont have any pics except for the start of the tear down.
Also, does any one know what this threaded hole behind my TPS/Throttle Body is for? Ever since I've had my jeep this hole has been open. Is a sensor or plug or vacuum line supposed to be there?

Found out from Reddit that the hole is for the Grand Cherokee because they have some kind of resonator that bolts there.
Anyway, not much to update since its been absolutely frigid here in NC.
Painted teeth on my front skid like i'd seen someone do on this forum.
Also, installed an eBay Oil Catch can, not sure how I feel about it yet but time will tell.

Looks like a good build so far, liking what you've done. Staying at 2"s or thinking abut going up eventually? Also, dirtbound seems to be very good, haven't ready anything negative.
