People say the JK motors are trash.

The Toyota will hold its resale value better than the jeep.

But the after market parts are more plentiful for the jeep

I'd rather have the truck bed though... that's the reason I've stuck with a pickup.

 

same reason i kept my beater pickup and traded my dd for a jeep. i like the 4 doors, leather seats, etc that my jeep has, but i also like having a truck to haul with

 

The exhaust flanges on my Banks headers have rusted into pieces causing an exhaust leak in front of the 02 location..it runs like shit. I contacted Banks about the issue to test their warranty..well up to 5 years they cover 100%, then pro-rate it 10% every year after that. They don't have me in their system...so I'd have to have my original purchase invoice..which is LONG gone..so I'm ass out with Banks.

I have a few more house things I want to do before I spend $$$ on re-doing the exhaust. I've searched the net and running ideas though my head..then I found these little miracles..http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-36130/?rtype=10

It's not the best option, but good enough til I get done with the house stuff.

 

Seal it with some Permatex "ULTRA COPPER" and you might not ever have to repair it.. I've seen that shit work miracles.

 

The flanges are nearly completely gone, there's nothing left to clamp the connections together. The "doughnut" gaskets are lose in the flared part of the flange. There's just enough of the flange there to keep them from coming all the way off.

I'm working with something similar to this..

Oh...

In that case it's time to break out the welder and scoot the pipe up a quarter inch and weld it to the back of the cat like I had to

 

his is at the y-pipe to the headers on each side i think.


time to just run open headers

 

Played on the trail a little since I had to clear debris causing the water to back up. Figured I snap a few pics of water running on the trail.
