What are you down for?
Hollister is open!!!
I was cleaning mud from our Hollister run for months afterwards, its going to need to dry out with all this rain
No kidding. I was looking up through the access panel where the taillight wiring goes and I still have Hollister mud in there.
I opened up a can of worms...
Got an engine/trans skid from UCF, so I don't beat the crap out of my Jeep on the rocks and found out that my exhaust is far from stock and in the way. The manifold collector is parallel to the ground at the bottom of the oil pan, no way to make it fit between the driveshaft and pan. I had to order an OEM style manifold and down pipe so I can get everything to place nicely.
PS. Did I mention you have to take half the damn engine apart to get the manifold out?!?! (Im sure you all know)
No, it's just a really shitty design. Had problems keeping it away from my driveshaft too
Trying to organize a small Sour Grass Trail run May 30th.

Any chance you guys have a pic of your exhaust where it wraps around the oil pan? I want to make sure I get it as close to stock as possible.
I am adding a trans cooler in the grill and had to pull it off for access.
Since nobody posted a picture, here’s what mine looks like.Any chance you guys have a pic of your exhaust where it wraps around the oil pan? I want to make sure I get it as close to stock as possible.
While you're near your jeep would you mind checking the front pinion angle and DS angle?
Nice lift btw
Pinion is 8 degrees and driveshaft is 13 degrees
Thanks for the comment about the lift. Better products on the market now. Somehow I manage to get through the trails with this old school stuff.

Chalk it up to experience lol
Got the trans cooler in and painted some of the mismatched colors on the grill in black. 1 step closer to being Rubicon ready!
