Personally I thought 60 bucks for stainless was a great price. It's only a 4cyl but has a good tone to it. I need to go drive it tomorrow to see how it is while cruising.
It is a good price...most people compare it to knock off brands for $30 bucks you can get... difference is the small notes you'll hear and of course that thing will last quite a while. I had one on my Tahoe and some on my mustang. Love em

I'd like to build one..but I'm not very good at welding thin stuff.... all I've got is my big ole arc welder...been wanting to step up to a good mig but can't afford to drop the money on one right now. If only I could sweat it together lol
Well today was sort of a bust. It started off great, got all the nuts and bolts to proper spec with no problems reaching the hard to get ones, then picked up a double flaring kit and it works like a dream. I stopped and helped the neighbor out for a bit while I let some more PB Blaster soak into the brake fittings since I was a couple hours ahead of what I had planned. When I went to break the lines free I couldn't find my 3/8" line wrench wrench. I managed to track one down and borrow it, but even after 3 days of PB Blaster, and a liberal application of heat the lines wont break free Looks like I am going to have to cut the lines on the rear axle and replace them. That leads to the next problem, I am 4 fittings and about 2 feet short on hard line to cover the job. Top that off with by the time I managed to find a 3/8 line wrench to borrow the place where I got the brake line from was closed for the weekend and neither of my cars are road legal right now I took the insurance off my Stealth since I park it for the winter, and the Jeep isn't ready yet. I thought i had everything I needed to finish it up this weekend, it proved me wrong
Thankfully my brother has some 3/16 brake line I can go grab later tonight or early tomorrow. If I am lucky he will have the 4 fittings I need too, but if not I can hit up Canadian Tire on my way home from his place. Still it would have been nice to have the brakes done and bled today instead of tomorrow.
Sliders are in the budget. The Jeep came with the nerf bars, so I'm keeping them on until I can afford new rock sliders. They did save my butt a few times today though. I'd rather bash up the nerf bars than the body of my XJ.
