Default Added 24V Truck-lites to the Cherokee

Added two 24v Truck-Lites to the front of the Jeep with two 12v-24v converters. They look AWESOME and are bright. With nearly no current draw. I love them and they were FREE

No, that's what's left of the catalysis. It has broken up and got lodged in the inlet and outlet of the converter thus creating restriction on the exhaust system

Is it metal? The stuff that came out that is... My old man was telling me that when Florida had inspections in the late 80's, shops would use density meters to make sure the cats weren't punched...

I'm not completely sure. Must be valuable if they get stolen a lot in my area.

Catalytic convertors contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Each of the three is more valuable than gold.

Cleaned out some crap from my moms garage in Brooklyn. Have some stuff from sandy, been putting off throwing it out, and oil and such. I found some tools that were my dads that I took. Also organized the rear of the jeep and strapped the tool box so it don't slide around. Found an old charcoal grill so that means good time this summer in the jeep
