^ That's actually legal in CA? I'm surprised. In that case, PA has stricter laws on this topic. That wouldn't be legal here in PA.

 

Yep. I see a lot of XJ's around here with the same setup.

 

nice axle! I think I'm gonna do side exhaust, and just pop it off whenever I go wheeling.

 

Thanks! A little dirty at the moment though...

 

Yeah whenever I get money, and learn to weld... I plan on a 10.25 and 60 front from a super duty. They've always got them at my local U-Pull-It, and for just north 300 bucks for both of them, I figure you can't really beat it.

that's a 44 right?

 

Yep. Factory XJ d44 with 4.56 gears.

 

Perfect.. considering it done! That is California legal?

 

I assume it is... Had it done at a reputable muffler shop in Cali.

 

You should let us know when you're up for smog. Something tells me they wouldn't like it very much.

 

I have permanent Montana plates. I won't be needing smog anytime soon.

 

Dafuq if I know. I would NEVER live in Cali. I can't wait to get the **** out of the peoples republic of MD. My stance on the law is: if it doesn't explicitly say I can't, then that means I can."

Atta boy. Do you only need a PO box for Montana?

 

I've ran mine this way for about a year, didn't have any issue with it at smog (ca)

 

No, I'm from Montana. Bought the XJ there. On any vehicle 11 years or older you can get permanent registration, comes out to about 3 1/2 years worth of registration fees.

Good to know. I'm sure eventually I'll need to get registration here...

 

I like it

 

Nice, good to know. Thanks dude
