Looks good Eric...I have the same magnaflow that you are replacing and I find it to be too loud on th trail too. I thought about adding a baffle or some kind of an insert to the end it the tailpipe(kinda like a motorcycle I guess).

All the reasons I hate working in Oakland in one video. Just amazing.

Looks like a good fix Eric. You going to have it back together for Reno fest?

 

[EricsXJ]

Easily. It should be back together next week.

exactly what I was thinking...I couldnt remember where I had seen that, thanks! Have to see what I have lying around and if it makes any difference.

I'm using the mount that came with the reservoir. It attaches to the master cylinder bolts and the resi barely fits under the hood.

Thats the problem im having. Its hitting my hood, I guess im going to have to massage the fender. I was hust worried that it was to low compared to the pump

You have a second book? I gave the original one away when I sold my old XJ to someone new to Jeeps.

Seriously.

I learned a lot of things I didn't know. I mean, I expected to pick up some tips.. but I want to start with 4643 from scratch all over again now - and i've only picked a few random chapters.

Eric could you take a few pics of how you mounted the 3 link to the TNT belly skid and how you modified it. Did you keep the TNT lowers? Also what size Heims did you use in the rear?

From page 13 of this thread:

I did not keep any of the TNT arms. All of the heims used in my suspension are 1.25".

 

[jeepfreak1020]

Did you make your links the same length or did you make the upper %80 of the lower?
