Been enjoying my new tires. They "sing" at a higher tone then my old mudterrains did. In other news my oil pressure gauge has gone nuts but I think the sending unit bit the big one.

thanks again for the help
i appreciate it.
Oh, and we fixed all the broken vaccum lines with rubber brake hoses. no more brittle plastic. In case you were wondering..
I was already working on the jeep for 1/2 an hour before he showed up lol..
He asked me when i would be there and i told him to come inside ha ha...
i asked everyone on the maryland thread on wed for helpers AND you actually got a personal invite today, you never responded...
Well, just like my leaf springs, when i break something i go big.
I say, if your gonna break it - break it worth fixing..
When i did my leaf springs, i was MISSING 2 center leafs and they were on negative arch.
Now I am doing my exhaust leak. I thought it was a crack..
Yeah.. so i figured out the reason to my horrendous exhaust leak was more than a crack..
as you can see it turns out the number 5 & 6 pipe were just completely broken off...
Go big or go home lol
Well we got it welded back up and put back together, and i tell you what, i couldnt believe it was my jeep, it was so quite..
Pudgy - Clown - & my g/f can tell you my jeep was crazy loud and it didnt sound good.
But now, tonight, it was such a quite ride home, i cant wait to see my mpg go back up now
Pudgy, thought i had good gas mileage before?
Just you wait til i give my new numbers, now that its fixed and then next is a the exhaust & injector upgrade and im gonna be making crazy numbers...
Of course your gonna have to wait a week or so before i let you know the improvement, cause with my new job being as close as it is, it already takes me more than a week in between fill-ups, with this fix i should be able to get another full day out of it.
And yes i know the weld job looks like crap, but thats because we didnt clean them in between welding and was in a bit of a hurry, and of course we wanted them a little thicker, and we were low on wire so only had enough to make one pass on it. Couldnt clean it up any..
Anyways, I have more pictures but i just got home, 3am, after working the last 6 hours on the jeep and i have to be up and at work in about 5 more hours, so i will post some more stuff tmrw eve after i get off work.

Ha yeah jakbob- we went to pull it out and when it came in two i was like "this might be why youre leaking". They did a great job welding it back up.
Doc ill let you know tomorrow about the soundbar and coolant bottle. Also will see if they use the newer exhaust manifold on my engine and ill just throw you the old renix one.
