Looks as though you got your money's worth out of that one, at least.

I'm still waiting for the joint in front of my cat to blow out, how it's still together with the bumps I tend to hit at speed, I'll never know.

Thanks man!Thrush Turbo... basically the same thing. 30 bucks at AZ

Sounds great! Little louder thatn factory (especially with a hi-flow cat and 2.5" pipe) but definitely not too loud to be able to hear conversation and music in a jeep with no carpet.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. I've got a Thrush Welded but the thing is so dang loud I've been looking for a good replacement that'll be just a little louder than stock. Thanks for the info man

Default Went to jeep jamboree in columbiana ohio

Went to the jamboree and had the time of my life on the obstacle course. I Did manage to get the rear lifted two inches the front I didn't have time to get to but man i had a blast out there. Went through everything expect the rocks and logs!! Didn't get stuck once !!! I was so surprised at how all the Cherokees were performing!! Some guy in a stock wrangler four door kept getting stuck!!


NOT MY JEEP But this guy ran the same line as I did except at 7:20 i did the concrete rolls and logs to the left of him

This is my jeep after

Snapped off an easy-out trying to get the rest of the ujoint strap bolt out... Headed to a buddys shop after work tomorrow to Pull the yoke and see if we can't get it out. Probably going to drill it out for ubolt straps while I'm at it.

Went wheeling. Apparently a u joint cap was missing in action for a long while and I suddenly noticed clunking noise. So after I arrived home, I investigated... I found this

Kind of a conglomerate of a few days, but here goes. Rugged ridge adjustable double shear track bar and drop pitman arm (got both for free BNIB), put on my second CSF 3-core since the first one busted a leak after 6 weeks of use, did the injector upgrade along with new plugs, and put Weathertech laser fit mats in. The stock pitman arm was a royal PITA to get off, and I won't be so kind at first to the next one I have to do. I drove the XJ once after doing the track bar and it seemed fine, then I took it to work a couple days later and my XJ tried to kill me every chance it got via DW. All four mount bolts/nuts came VERY loose, and it was quite the frightening experience. I have no idea how many drivers I pissed off with my heavy braking before every slight bump in the road and just general slow speed, but considering that I have a half an hour commute on Michigan roads it was probably a lot.

I actually might finally get my sliders finished up the way I want this week sometime and then they'll get painted. Another XJ owner saw my DW troubles and we chatted for a while. He told me his brother would definitely be willing to help me out here since I don't have a welder.

Next up (as soon as I get an enclosure made for the sub, probably

That's no fun, I did that on one of the bolts on my thermostat housing and it took 3 cobalt drill-bits and over and hour to get through it (the easy-outs are hardened steel and very hard to drill through).

I'm hoping that I can pull the yoke and get it in the arbor mill to drill it out. A little precision never hurts.
