    Exhausting

    So awhile back my exhaust had gotten bent. Pushed in and almost pinched just behind the rear axle. I have been looking at different ideas and came up with this. Instead of replacing the pipe and resionator, (which was rusting out anyways) I had my local exhaust shop chop it off and weld on a...

    Front end clunk at takeoff

    So I have noticed that when I slam on the gas from a dead stop there is a clunk sound from the driver side(ish). It sounds like it is comming from the steering area, maybe a worn rod or something? When I start out slow there is no clunk. I have done some searches on this but I cant tell...

    So I was looking at the exhaust the other day and noticed that there is a unnatural bend in it by the muffler restricting flow. Must have gotten bashed. My question is ... If I cut off the muffler, do I need to keep it away from the back tire to keep it from heating up the tire? I will need...

    hi lift mount options

    I have been looking at different options to mount my jack. I dont have a roof rack and want to keep it off the ARB untill I get more heavy duty springs to compensate for the winch and the jack. Has anyone mounted their hi lift on the rear bumper? It is steel and should hold the weight right?
