Oh yes, on board welder...the ultimate trail repair tool. Forgot about that.

As simple as 2 batteries, jumper cables, and some welding rod...lol

Really? 12, or 24 volts,
Just clamp and weld.
Does it have to be 2 Batteries?

--> Hooked together parallel or in series ??? - (Parallel=12v more Amps, or Series=24v less Amps)

What kind of welding rod do you use??? - :welder:

I'm not sure what it sounds like outside but it sounds great in the cab. If you want it to sound meaner to the Civic that you are dusting at a stop light then I would go with exhaust.

But my intake wasn't too expensive and very easy to install.

Haaha yeahh do u have any ideas on exhaust ?

My exhaust was pretty new when I bought the Jeep so I haven't really looked at it. I'm sure someone on here has some pretty good ideas though.

I installed the Spectre Intake today. This thing definitely sounds mean in the cab at wide open throttle!! I like it!

Shiny!

Whatever shall I do with all this new found space...

I'm thinking OBA (On Board Air, for the noobs) :highfive:

make sure you clean that filter after every trail ride. its too small and gets clogged too easily.

you should install these http://www.tntcustoms.com/Jeep_Cherokee_XJ/High_Clearance_Inner_Fender_Panels.aspx

you need 24v to run a welder. so you need to wire the batteries in series.

It is definitely a bit small, I will keep an eye on it, thanks for looking out. :thumbsup:

Those fender liners are interesting but I don't have too many problems with tire clearance usually. I want to take this thing up at least another 1.5 inches but I will probably stick with the 31's that I have for right now.

:eyebulge: That's ugly! Was he missing the screen on the cowl vent? I took my cowl cover off and it was just dusty in there, no debris or anything.

that one is in a renix comanche, I don't think they have screens... but most of the other guys I know have theirs get stuck with dirt.

Pounded the crap out of Scampy on an almost virgin trail - The Loop @ Quinn near Caligogie, ON

Last picture is me winching myself up the same shot as the 2nd. Greasy pine muck after a few days rain. Trees behind me gave me some new sheet metal dings and a cracked tail light mount.

I redid my drum brakes earlier this summer and I definitely want to to do a disc conversion on mine as well. I haven't decided if I want to go the JY route or save for the upgrade from Quadratec.

Gear oil is such a distinctive and unpleasant odour.

Leaky axle seal, pinion, or cover.

Hopefully it's just the cover - isn't as much of a project.
