I have the same header, ...cracked on me less than a year later...
Granted my motor mounts prob had something to do with it... looks like you have the MORE mounts, so you should be good...

Is that the stock header? Mine looks like it with the flex joints on the 1st and 6th exhaust port and it's been in there I think it's entire life lol I know my driver motor mount was bad and replaced it. Maybe a faulty header you got?

To my surprise, im one u-joint and one set of poly uca bushings away from being back on the road! Might even shake it down this weekend...

Did the best free upgrade today, cut and fold the rear fender well, turned out real well, really was prepping for tomorrow when I'm going to install my rear quarter armor. Went with OR Fab, that stuff is pure beef. 33ibs each!

 

[Bronzewyrm]

Got the armor on and trimmed the fronts, has anyone used that door trim on a cut fender? How does it hold up? Should I glue it on there?

It actually holds up pretty good.. and adds a nice touchatriot:

Found a few kinds at schucks, picked the thickest one and it looks like it has some glue already In it. Won't be problem as I'm running 31's but when I put on the33's in the garage.....

new ball joints fixed the death wobble I had.
