Hey,don't apologize it's a sign of weakness. LOL Nothing wrong with a little ribbing to brighten things up. Actually I've been putting this off for too long. Now I'll just redo the whole system.

Broke the metal link that holds the exhaust pipe to the bracket. Guess I'll look into replacing the muffler and exhaust pipe.

I managed to rip my passenger side mirror off this weekend. Back when I hit the junkyard to find a rear hatch to replace the one I broke I picked up a new mirror as well, since the one I had couldn't be adjusted with the funky mechanical cable mechanism anymore. I put the JY one on today.

Got my alpha scan tool for Renix jeeps from nick today (NickInTimeFilms) Plugged in it and played with it for a bit. Then it started to rain so I had to come inside.

I pray that the jeep gods show you favor toward the upper control arms, as they didn't with mine.

Which one? Some of the hangers are an easy fix.

Not in the South Florida traffic you wouldn't. I barely got that in a 2.2 liter s10 w/ a 5 spd in that traffic. It's brutal.

I'll post some for ya in a little bit here... (EDIT: Just updated my build thread with 'em... check it out)

Because what I did was install my NEW alternator and XJWONDERS cables!!!!

Also ditched the K&N FIPK in lieu of the factory airbox. Cowl snorkle forthcometh. AND I put in a newer fan clutch which I'm now regretting because I SHATTERED my new fan shroud trying to get it in past the tines on the clutch housing

The one I noticed is the one welded to the pipe and connects into a bracket on the frame. Considering the amount of rust on that pipe, broken connector, and muffler. I'm thinking of replacing it all(not the manifold).. I posed the question of how on the ask your questions thread. Only thing that concerns me is that a replacement would need to be welded. I do not own or have the knowledge to weld.
