My exhaust fell of yesterday on my way home, 3 of the bolts that mount the cat to down pipe look like they been cut. ****ing thief's. Comanche sounds like crap under throttle with open down pipe. Woke up my neighbors though when I rolled into my neighborhood around 11:30

Not necessarily to my Cherokee.. but I had to find something somewhat productive to do.

Trying to un-plastidip the one Ecco I did...

Peeling it wasn't doing so hot, so...

I left for a minute and when I got back my mom was painting the stripper onto the wheel...

After a couple hours:

And a bit of scrubbing with a tooth-brush:

Now I'm cleaning up some stuff I picked up from the JY:

Not pictured: cupholder and airbox lid. All of them are going to be for sale when I'm done, too.

Only if the person who applied it did it properly...

I did like 7 coats, but they were way too thin. It was a pain in the *** to peel off, honestly. Would have taken me hours.

I tried that drive shaft setup as well. It vibrated beyond 50 mph. I sent it back to CJ Tatton and he shipped me a standard one for hack-n-tap. Problem solved.
Seems the slip yoke has a small amount of 'slop' side to side and was causing the issue. Tatton confirmed this.
And note the advertisement for this shaft "helps reduce driveline vibration". Well, I want to 'eliminate' it.
On Topic.. Drove 20 miles on the beach today.

Hm, crud! I don't like that review. I still have to take it to highway speeds, I've only gotten it to 55 or so.
