I bought Krylon Fusion Gloss Black. That way, I could use it on the plastic as well as my bumpers and flares if I ever get around to it. I sanded down the bumpers and end-caps beforehand and then washed them down and let them dry.

Can't speak for durability because I haven't had it long enough, but it looks great.

Also, I feel bad for you guys that have 23 wires going into the door... I have two, speakers + and -.

Bought two of these and done.

do they sound better, if I go and spend more money, shouldn't I just go with a flowmaster? I just went to the local auto store, and saw the muffler for 25 dollars, just wondering if it makes my jeep louder, or if its just a stock replacement type of muffler.

It'll probably be a little louder.

The Thrush Welded is almost identical to the way a Flowmaster is made. Yes, it's louder.

Do you want it to stay quiet?

nope. I don't want it to loud, but also don't want it quit as stock. Something that is mild.

Get a Bosch or Carter. No airtex.

Did you get a good trailer wire converter? Some are junk.

any help for a leak between the engine and transmission? looks like motor oil not trans. fluid. I was thinking rear main seal because t drips off of the bottom of the trans but could it be something else? like front of the transmission or something like that?

Verify it is not the valve cover gasket first! Then check the oil filter adapter. If its not either of those then yes its most likely the common rear main leak. The job isn't that difficult, just dirty.

on a 87 Cherokee pioneer what would explain no torque in drive with a seemingly regular takeoff in low 2 but no shifting beyond that? Had some electrical issues and I'm hoping to get away with a sensor or something, maybe the NSS.

Here:

I got a Thrush welded like a week ago today. I'm loving it. Sounds great, no drone. It's only even noticeable when I'm on the gas a decent bit or idling. In between I don't really hear a difference. I love it.
