Unfortunantely when I backed down my exhaust grabbed a rock and kinked it down:

After some hacksaw loving and a wire tire to keep up the exhaust, all is good:

Drive shaft pulls out from transfer case - because LCA pulled apart.

Thanks for working on the driveshaft Matt:o

The good thing was that is broke on a high spot which gave me plenty of room to work under there:

Tom Wood to the rescue with his welder:) Thanks again Tom:drinkers:

Lets do the other side for good measure as well so this doesn't happen again:

On my first GSW I did the exact same thing to my exhaust. Time for an upgrade. Scott and I have had good luck with Lakewood Muffler on 10th and Wadsworth. You do not want to spend too much money on your exhaust repair because you will be changing it again after longarms anyway.

Nice pics.

Keith I remember when you put that nice 90% angle on your exhaust that year. Liz was not impressed with Golden Spike Ryan,lucky she was not with us two years ago now that was a long day and night. Kim thought it was pretty cool wheeling at night.
So my title of loosing coils now belongs to Cosmo boy? Great pics Ryan.

I will see if I have pics of my exhaust. I have a short piece of 2.5 inch pipe that is welded to the stock CAT and goes to a glass pack muffler and then routes up over the rear diff and returns to the passenger side behind the rear wheel. I had it routed through a hole in the bumper. Works great. So far I have not hit the exhuast with either the control arms or on a rock. The glass pack is small and sounds decent with the 4.0. It is not loud inside the Jeep. It does point to the side which does make other vehicles hear it but no complaints.

Working on that Scott, I should have them fixed tonight...

If you view the URL for the small version and changed "Weberized" to "Orig" and remove the "_resized" from the actual filename, you'll get the original. Just a broken script.
