I'll try and be clear and to the point. Completed my engine rebuild after I verified tdc, compression, and did a leak down. (I'm still sealing up the exhaust leaks which I suspect is the issue) I thought I got all of the exhaust leaks yesterday. I had a leak at the forward bolt on the header...

2001 Jeep TJ that I've had almost a year that I took of my dad's hands. I haven't got around to the engine yet but I've manages to rebuild the suspension.and do the rear main seal. So the run down, I'm in Colorado it's been cold and windy. About 3 months ago it started doing the weird whining...

2001 Jeep TJ 33 inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires on 17x9 Fuel Militias 5 inch Currie/Rockjock complete lift Slip yoke elimination completed Manual 5 speed transmision NV 3550 4.0L Inline 6 Need to regear for gas milage improvement and lockers for the trails. I had thought about going up to 35s someday...

I'm on the fence. I kinda do what to go the custom route. I don't like the route it takes anyway by the shock and gas tank.

Ya I thought about it. I think if I spend a 100 to get it cut or bent from an exhaust place I might as well put the 100 towards the 250 for a high tuck exhaust

Pic? You're talking about the 2 bolts at the flange and not the hangers?

Ya I was looking for an exhaust spacer but I don't see any made.fo3 the TJ. Even a 2 inch spacer would push it straight back and clear more than enough. I'm half tempted to make one butnIll just call around tommorow for an exhaust shop

Lol Ya I was hoping maybe a new hanger or some washers might move it over. Maybe even a thicker gasket thst will push the exhaust towards the year by an 8th of an inch

Ya thats what I was going to do but my wife's pissed at the amount of money I've dropped lately into it so I'm looking for a solution I can do with tools lol

I need ideas on what to do. Preferably not spending more money other than maybe 10 bucks. I just lifted the Jeep about 4 or 5 inches. As you can see the exhaust and shock are making contact, especially after the shock relocation bracket. I don't want to kink the exhaust much right after the cat...

Ya if I had a drive shaft wrench I though about putting my jacks bar that's 4 and a half feet long on it. LoL Still 600 ft lbs should have done it

I've already dropped it. I didn't think it would be an issue with applying that much torque to get it off

600ft lbs of break away should be way more than enough and yes lefty loose. I know what I'm doing for the most part.

I'm doing a SYE and I've got everything broken down accept the front yoke. The nut isn't budging. I'm using an impact wrench with 300 ft lbs of torque. It'd not budging even after 3 days of PB Blaster. Am I missing something?

Pulled this guy off to do my rear main seal and oil pan. I'm pretty capable but this thing is a pain to get back on. I've supported it with a jack and held the clamps together while trying to thread it in. Given I was exhausted and I'm a disabled vet so I can feel like I'm 80. LoL Whats the...

2001 Jeep TJ Doing a Currie Rockjock 4 inch lift (all control arms, shocks, springs, sye, oil pan and main seal, differential seals) Got the back end done minus the upper control arms, need to reconnect the break line (it was in the way of the relocation break for the track bar) My plan is to...

Cool, appreciate the advise. I got the Springs in and tires on. I'll do the sye tommorow and see if that helps some

How do I go about doing that? I haven't seen anything in my research about doing that. All of the to include Rockjock and Quadratech all say install them to match. If I do that it's gonna mess something up. I was thinking about putting the Springs in then dripping it on tires and doing the sye...
