    Gibson Catback Exhaust Opinions

    Gibson Catback Exhaust Opinions

    My muffler has a crack in it and looking at this Gibson cat-back to replace my stock system. I have not been able to find much info or sound clips for it. Anyone running it? If so, how much louder than stock? Does it drone? Pretty good price for a stainless system...

    99 TJ Hard Top Wind Noise

    I ended up buying some weather stripping and tucking it between the windshield and hard top. It helped, but plan to look into a more long term solution when I take off the hard top in the spring.

    Jeep shock recommendation

    I realize jeep TJs ride rough, but was reading about how the rancho 5000x shock really helps to smooth out the ride both on and off road. My TJ currently has kyb gas-a-just shocks from previous owner and I have no idea how old. Currently running 31 inch tires with no lift. Assuming the kyb...

    99 TJ Hard Top Wind Noise

    Getting some whistling from the hard top where it meets the windshield. Does anyone have any recommedations how to fix this? I have the original weatherstrip from the factory which has probably broken down over the years and is not providing a proper seal. Not sure if replacements are...
