Nate, that is F'n AWESOME!!!! Don't let the Mrs make you sell it

Welcome back to the fold, dude!!!

I swapped out my pipe/converter on my 3.6 on Sunday, much easier than I anticipate...all quiet now.

Went in from the fender liner, man that made things easy!!

This is a terrible design, comes right off the block, bent the flange, but alls good, it's quiet again and feels like I have some power gain back. Damn things are $500-1k...luckily I had a buddy that had one from an engine swap and he is letting me use it til we figure out the Hemi swap, so I didn't have to buy one!

My door hinge bolts came loose...so when I put my uppers back in over the previous weekend the door slid down, wouldn't shut level, you can see just a small slide down (white line, original paint color) and that affected my door level by nearly 1/8"! Super easy fix, set them back up, tightened them. Went around the entire Jeep, they were all loose

Next up, trying to figure out if I'm going to remove the rear passenger seat and put down a false floor for my ARB to sit level, or strap it down to the seat w/ a 2x2 under it to level it so I can use it for my upcoming July CO trip

So far just looking at it this way in case I want to slide it out easy, putting it in front to back may be an option later...

Can easily access it, so I could use as-is if all came down to it. Not that it'd have to be level either, but it'd just look better. Need to see how to strap it if I go this route.

And I have tons of space for other stuff as well! If all else fails, I could easily slide a board OVER the back seat, level it w/ a 2x2 towards the back and eyebolt it to the board, the board could rest under the folded headrest...that'd be super simple, but a bit ghetto.

This is a custom made, bent floor panel, super pimp...but it eliminates both seats, I just want the 60 side out, leave the 40 so I could still haul a 3rd passenger if needed. Can't figure out why someone doesn't make these and sell them...this is super clean!!

Install a slider and it'd be extra pimp! I have extended door strap hooks so my doors open extra wide, love them!

Once my seat is out I'll cut some cardboard to template it and see what I think...but this is not w/in my timeframe, patience or skill level at the moment

Of course, the companies that do this type of stuff charge a hot potato penny, so there's that, too

Picked up my 40 Nittos today, so that's the next swap.
