the open headers make up for the weight of the paint.

does anyone know how to get the Fuging glue from the rear window off? im going nuts trying to scrape/cut it off with a chisel and a heat gun. I dont care about the glue so much its all the glass bits still stuck to it, are in the way of the plastic window I want to install.

paint thinner, or turpentine....

it's urethane. MEK will take it off but will probably damage the paint also - best bet is to use a utility knife to cut it down as far as possible then use a sanding disk to take it down the rest of the way - it'll never all come off, just try to get it thin and leveled out

thanks. yea I dont care about the chunks of glue left. it more about the inch wide strip of broken glass that surrounds the hole where the windo used to be.
I got it off earlier today. utility knife chisel welding gloves to grab the rope with and safety glasses to stop all the flecks of glass that were shooting off it while I pulled on it.

STOP.... Muffler time!
Its stuffed with some Johns-manville I stole from my attic.
dont know how much it will muffle it. but its got to be better than an open header.

I like how the oil change is by far the easiest thing on that list but it hasn't been done.

You might piss some people off in Moab like that, since it's prob not a true "spark arresting muffler" or whatever. And yea, having my muffler falling off my cat happened a lot and that was unbearably loud and annoying... I can't imagine that.

I drove black jeep for 3yrs with no muffler and a turndown after the cat. Now its the quietest vehicle I've ever owned.
