A Marine Corp Officer who had a astrophysicists degree built this Jeep. Still discovering stuff.

Good eyes. The oil pan armor has tabs welded to both exhausts. Guessing to support exhaust and maybe less header cracks? IDK. Never would have thought of doing that.
My Failure Analysis of the cracked exhaust manifold noted the entire exhaust system swings back and forth, putting a lot of stress on the manifold that is the front attachment point. My resolution was installing a unversal exhaust hanger near the oil pan area to support the pipes and stop the movement. The astrophysicist modification is doing the same thing.
 
Back from the alignment shop. They had 2 attempts and got things much better the 2nd time around. Besides for the obvious driveline vibrations, it drives much nicer. Caster before was around 3.7.

Curious is anyone has run into this... the uppers core 4x4 camp series were brought completely in to their shortest length while the lowers were brought out slightly more than stock to achieve the caster below. Not sure on pinion angle still need to go out and measure it.
