It will sound like shyt.

Tail pipe hanger broke while wheeling and then Exhaust got bent to hell on leaf spring..... :Arg: thinking of just adding a down pipe right after the muffler?

I cut mine right after the cat and i love the way it sounds, all 3 of the xjs ive had were that way lol

My jeep is NOT STREET LEGAL. Since it is an OFFROAD only vehicle I run an APN header with just a glasspack and a turndown. I get compliments all the time on how it sounds.

 

[pdcomm]

i basically have no where to do it

So ...

That's no excuse . I switched out my water pump in the driveway . Out in the elements , in low light no less .

Finished sprucing up the new leaf springs:

They'd been sitting in a shop for a couple years collecting dust, a little surface rust, and lots of spiderweb/eggs. So I sanded them some, wiped 'em down and shot 'em w/ some Rustoleum.

Put the wheel well liners back in. Got tired of how seeing how much crud got stuck inside the front fenders when hosing them out. Also got bored and took the taillight guards off at work to get rid of the rust and repaint them. And on my lunch break I went down the street to O'Reilly's to get new struts for the hatch, now instead of it falling down on my head it almost smacks me in the face when I open it :thumbsup:

Finished my front recovery point. Real pain, definitely looks like I made it in the middle of the night, HA! But, Im confident that it is safe, and perfectly functional. Didn't get to taking off the sway bar links.. May cut them off when we get there tomorrow.

 

[droz]

picked up more parts to rehab my XJ, new motor mounts, trans mount, sway bar bushings and new end link kits, slowly getting things thing back to fully functioning daily driver and weekend jeep for going camping etc

NOOoOoO it will sound like a tractor, mine was banging around so I cut it before the bend and I'm taking it this weekend to hopefully new exhaust

how is that. Mine is cut after the muffler. Sounds the same. No tractor.

I too have done this. In the rain and about 35 degrees out. Also on a transverse mounted engine which allowed me the pleasure of laying down in the mud to get to some bolts.

Repairs can be done anywhere. It just depends how bad that repair needs to be done.

Very true. Plus i would like to start doin my own repairs, It makes hard to pay somebody to do a repair im pretty sure i can do but usually due to time i cant have my xj down for a long time, and my luck only runs the bad kind.

What do yall think about the skyjacker trackbar? I just bought one.

You learn alot doing your own repairs and upgrades. And I completely understand using a mechanic for times sake. I've got a truck in the shop right now just because I couldn't make enough time to work on it.

Having problems fitting a '93 face/grill on my 1989 Cherokee ....

they seem to be shaped a little different
- and the screw holes don't like up, I mean I can drill new holes. I ground down bumps on back...
Had anyone dealt with this???
GRrrrrr!!!

..Also, powder-coated the ring that holds the light to adjuster assy, then painted the bulb (like some of you like to)
check it:

Building an xj bumper for a friend. Gonna try to have my xj in rolling condition today.

Isn't the time to ask opinions BEFORE you purchase something? I replied to your other thread about this. It is known to come loose, and there are better designs for the same/lower price out there.

I'd weld that bracket in place if I was going to use it.

After reading about the design and installation and reviews, I chose NOT to purchase one last year that FS new in the classifieds here.

I'm not sore mine does and so does a few peoples I know, do you have factory exhaust?

Same here. Ran an open header for about a week after I put the new cylinder head in. Sounded bad *** but insanely loud. :laugh:

Lucky for me I work at a car dealership, so unless something is just blatantly obviously wrong with the Jeep it's going to pass a state inspection.
