They are very well built and I would recommend them and plan on buying another set or my TJ at some point if I keep the 4.0 in it. I love the sound but I added a chambered muffler at the same time. I think I may have sacrificed some torque since I removed the cat, but my MPGs have improved. I also did a hypertech tune so it difficult for me to tell which mod did what.

Sure this isnt' a special edition??? no paint on handles, or rear part above the plates, has a 4.0, no white gauges, silver trim instead of wood grain.

Did you start throwing codes since you removed your cat converter? I can't do that on my XJ without computer hassles. BTW, I like all you've done to the WJ. I picked one up for my kid. It was a 2002 SE and he has it down at V-Tech. Go Hokies! We did fr and rr brake pads, fr rotors and flushed the brake lines. New Water pump, flushed the juice, pulleys as a precaution, as well as the belt. This Jeep has 96,000 miles on it. Keep us posted on the lift.....should be interesting.
Mike

I threw p0135 and p0155 for the heated 02 sensors before the precats. But that went away after a week. I have no sensors close to the rear cat that I removed, just the 4 up front.

And now I have the lift! I plan on removing the axles this weekend and sending them to be cleaned and re-geared. I am going clean up and rust proof everything I can until the axles get back and if all goes well I will be lift in a week!

Well I got the axles out now time to prep and paint the under carriage.
Gotta love stripping down a vehicle!

I think 2 are the transfer case drop brackets which I hope not to use.

If they are extra i will gladly sell them.

I am also pulling off brand new shocks if anyone is interested. I will give members a great deal.
Pretty sure I bought the best autozone had but I'll have to confirm.
