 For putting up with pathetic jeep shenanigans. Those are all the exact reasons i have not changed my jeep to the same setup, APN header and 99+ intake and Motor mounts. i am really interested to hear the performance difference with the new intake and header and mm in.

look! exhaust!!    i cut a bit too long of a relief cut up by the downpipe (1/4" at the most) so even though the cat is all the way on, theres a tiny hole  so a bit of exhaust tape should fix that. new PS pump mocked up so i could see what bolts i needed to get  and my pipe expander AKA shot old downpipe  |

It boggles my mind when people put a brand new exhaust on an xj and they don't do something with the tip. You're just going to rip it off again.

so i get a new PS pump pulley and the autism zone puller/installer.
press the new pulley on and my adj wrench keeps slipping. go to the hardware store and buy a 8 dollar 18mm open end. try again. goes on about 1/2 turn more and keeps slipping. back out installr bolt, try again, and again, and again. pulley needs to go on less than 1/4" more so i just say fuck it and install it. the bolts i bought for the new ps pump were literally 1 fucking mm too short so i go BACK to the hardware store AGAIN for longer ones. install pump, put on new belt, fix everything to the new routing and tighten the belt. okay, so a few vacuum lines are off, no air filter, blah blah itll run like shit but who cares. fire it up, runs like shit (obviously). the PS pump starts pissing fluid everywhere, exhaust is pouring out of the head behind the headers, and the PS pulley is wobbling like a bitch and the belt is about to slip off the idler. fuck. turn it off, try to tighten the pulley while its on the jeep. ha. wrench just slips.
im done with this shit its 32598710857-12548753421 degrees out, im going to nicoles to her pool and hopefully finding someone with a 17mm wrench so i dont have to buy another one.
