WHAT I LEARNED AT WINTERFEST IS
1.) Don't cut across the parking lot.
2.) The skinny pedal is your friend, unless you're Brandon, then bring axle shafts.
3.) If the XJ has a V8, it still isn't a boat.
4.) Bring a pizza cutter.
5.) Raffles aren't fun when you don't win.
6.) Bring more towels.
7.) HAMMER DOWN!
Edit: 8.) Zip ties are your best friend too

My new catalytic converter came in. Just a Magnaflow universal cat, nothing fancy, just functional. The cat-back system is shipped and should hopefully be here Thursday. The loud exhaust is very annoying because: I can't hear my music, or anything else for that matter, I'm an ******* for waking up the neighborhood at 6:30am, and I'm constantly trying to not get pulled over again.
Also I permanently lost the flares on the right side. R.I.P. in piece nice looking jeep.

I don't have the bumpstops in the front towers anymore just one bolted to the coil spring bucket, and extended in the rear with a 2" square tube.

Took the flares off. No cutting until I get new ones though. Mainly because it looked goofy having one side with flares and the other with just that nasty rusty flare holder.

Slowly working my way up to Instagram fame.
But really. Exhaust should be here tomorrow evening, hopefully before work so I can get it on.
