Yup. Can't win.
At least they are super light weight.

Negative. I paid $100 for them. They might be American Racing brand, made in China.

Jeep is 3200 miles since the last oil change. I have an exhaust manifold, rear brakes, and a stereo system sitting and waiting to be installed. My fucking pyramid is upside down. What kind of scam is this?

I'm thinking about the 10' x 17' garage thing from Harbor Freight. $250. I could work on things if it doesn't collapse in the snow..

Jeep 4.0 exhaust manifolds fit perfectly inside of a standard oven. Coat with bbq paint, then bake at 400 for one hour, or until tender. Serve immediately if ye hath not yet succumb to the fumes.

Exhaust day. Made one custom dual exhaust for a truck, a cat-back for a teeny shitbox, a sleeve on a larger shitbox, and a muffler+tailpipe on a shit truck.

Jeep manifold is getting wrapped, then I'lol redo the rest of the exhaust with a Spintech muffler. Best muffler.

Eye of the Tiger

Aight, I decided what Imma do with this exhaust. 2.5" 1-into-2 with concentric reducers to 2.0" with dual Spintech 6000 mufflers and turndowns at the rear axle. Don't ask.

Neh, that's too much weight. Needs more light.

New exhaust manifold is now painted, wrapped, and painted (with paint for wraps). Tailpipe and muffler currently hacked off. Waiting for a Spintech.

How much would you guys say this Jeep would sell for? $2500? I dunno.

Should I put Jeep up on Bring a Trailer? It doesn't need a trailer, but...

Still can't decide whether or not to sell this thing. Left brain says yes, right brain says no.

Okay. How about I just enter Jeep into the regional SCCA rallycross season. I'll have to check the rules about SUVs. Might have to lower the suspension or something.

Looking at current XJ prices as I tend to do, I don't think it is even worth selling. I might have a hard time getting $2K.

The nice thing about the AW4 transmission is that it can be completely manually shifted with some electrical switches, or one of these nice units

Tell me to sell this thing. I don't have time to do rally cross.

Sell it.  You'll kill yourself doing rally cross.

There has been a massive increase in the number of decent cars for sale under $2000. I really don't think I could get $1000 for the Jeep at the moment. Not even worth selling. It's way too good to let some crackhead take it and trash it.

Maybe I'll just use it as a supplemental home security system. Leave a car parked outside and they always think someone is home.
