97 TJ. Banks headers. One CAT and it's next to the transmission. My down pipe/mid pipe is making contact with my front driveshaft. I looked the exhaust and jacked up on the passenger side and tightened things down and probably got an 1/8" of clearance. I'd like to have more. I want to add an...

My VSS likes to show me going 140 mph plus in the morning until it wakes up. Gear is stripped too...but from researching the markings...26-31 and 32-38 I think I had it clocked incorrectly. I have a replacement sprocket... probably going to put that on and try it... The SC105 clearly is not...

First video in a series...this was driving in...in the ensuing videos you'll see me let the smoke out of my winch and spen close to 11 hours digging. I'm not much of a fan of traction boards...but when your winch checks out it might just be the only way home...
