I added O2 simulators and will be removing the cats when i get time to put in my new magnaflow muffler(local closeout sale). cost, $45.00. next project is electric fan and wheels and tiers, hopefully next month. you'll have to go to my gallery to see all the pictures, this is the only one's I could get on here for some reason.

    Unhappy

    Nice, (sorry to be a kill-joy) but it SEVERELY reduces your approach angle if offroad. And that's w/o the winch on.....

    I noticed on your Moab Videos, that a lot of fellow VX'ers, left their hitches in, dragging them on the rocks... like curb feelers

    The disturbing part, was the people standing and hanging out, directly behind spinnning tires on loose ground!!!!! Downhill even!!!! (head=tire level)
    Good way to get a rock in the Temple!!!!!
    Just a friendly safety reminder...

    Looks like your rear passenger shock is leaking or something leaked onto it.


    Otherwise. Nice muff. What was the part number for that one?

    how loud is the muffler at speed? im looking for a muffler to give me a nice deep growl with relatively low volumes... buddy of mine suggested stepping my exhaust pipe up to 3" for about 6" of pipe then back down to 2-1/4 into the muffler of my choice to keep volume down and help with a deep sound...

    i saw the tie downs in your gallery.. great idea.. i may have to "borrow" that idea from ya..
