YKYDAXJW when you smell something funny coming through the vents and your senses go into overdrive as you check your gauges and make sure the Jeep isn't doing anything out of the ordinary.

When you have an awesome parking spot, are about to leave and a lexus comes by and asks if you are leaving, you say no then wait 2 minutes listening to radio then another xj comes by so you leave so he can have the spot true story

Do you just have a turn down right out of the 40 series? How's that sound? Does it get hung up on the trail or anything? Any difference going through water? Sorry for all the questions I've been thinking about doing something to get rid of the tailpipe.

You meant something else, right? You can't even turn without a trac bar... your axle will just shift left and right.

I have 2 tie rods! One installed, and the old stock twig in the garage as a makeshift punch- useful for getting the pitman arm off, just stick it down through the engine bay!

Yeah right after the 40. Sounds awesome. A little loud but I love it. With water you just need to be careful, and if you have rotted floors be prepaired because its gonna come up. Ive never hit it on anything so far, scraped it on some rocks but havent had any issues. And make sure you support it well otherwise your header will crack like crazy because the extra weight on it. Ask me how I know......

Okay thanks for the tips. Sounds like a good way to go and as soon as I save up a little more money I'm gonna try it out
