After lots of time fitting and lots of bends and cuts i have the exhaust to the last muffler and just have to finish the tail pipe section. So i must be getting older cause i want a deep sounding truck but not a load truck. When i built my SRT-4 i put two 2.5 inch xr1 sportsman mufflers on it in a dual configuration because that is how it was from the factory but with now mufflers on it. was quieter at idle but loader at wot. so i added a muffler before the dual section and found it was deeper and was way more mellow at wot. So here is the exhaust build pictures. Pictures detailing how i made the bends for the cross member lots of setup time and turns out pretty good.  This will get the thread up to date on where i am at on the build, plan to finish the tail section tomorrow and start to get hangers figured out.  Working with 304ss has been a learning curve for sure. getting the welder set up, proper gas and wire to MIG with then fitting every v band flange after welding it due to slight warp age has made this process very long and tedious. The y-pipe toke 8 hrs and two trilarge.Exhaust_15.JPG.1eec7a95b139158ce644bb8fbeeb2e36.JPGlarge.Exhaust_14.JPG.00ef0f6d5f875d0fda718322fb683803.JPGlarge.Exhaust_12.JPG.cc54819cb1bbe9cf6492a80871e0203f.JPGlarge.1071691595_Exhaust13.JPG.7ccc2660cb563223171dad704e93807a.JPGlarge.Exhaust_17.JPG.63ca11c70c0bd3c9660934b492b028eb.JPGlarge.Exhaust_16.JPG.e3b6bb19045671567cf6d26efa1ac194.JPGlarge.Exhaust_18.JPG.d93f2a3e45364716cdc2bac95a9f57d1.JPGlarge.Exhaust_19.JPG.db1e022b5a093e1f671edbb50e0ca699.JPGlarge.Exhaust_29.JPG.7a789250181fc94f68aef0422e1fab21.JPGlarge.349021022_Exhaust27.JPG.5b26989f8c19a6a6e31f7cd0beba4e27.JPGlarge.11688177_Exhaust26.JPG.5823477da6091d19a32cec6bc43fc720.JPGlarge.1704017268_Exhaust25.JPG.d31a86cf82e0ce756a96d02665feac79.JPGlarge.202484221_Exhaust24.JPG.4c1347337e2e76c767890c1024ab2c2e.JPGlarge.1544279810_Exhaust23.JPG.275df7df0e4b38f98663652487207ea9.JPGlarge.Exhaust_20.JPG.1ce76b28df8001479f3fbf4c1bafbc41.JPGlarge.Exhaust_30.JPG.af92972bf2e7948b7942dd1f009b904a.JPGlarge.Exhaust_31.JPG.6f4e8b5a7e47b76cbf128af637c939cc.JPGlarge.Exhaust_32.JPG.0029cafd291e418f2d4999afe1e95ece.JPGlarge.Exhaust_33.JPG.2f20ddb725c4f47336bba2281da51cf3.JPGlarge.Exhaust_37.JPG.e255a384e70b22403ae483b77f2b51bc.JPGlarge.Exhaust_36.JPG.f459bea548bb5e3bc09c973736a77e10.JPGlarge.Exhaust_35.JPG.5f2c8cc0e0db7661601f17c23a162a41.JPGlarge.Exhaust_47.JPG.7a452b2669b2b7546aa950034fcfc29d.JPGlarge.Exhaust_46.JPG.4714eee117c5507527bc0a81abcc1373.JPGlarge.Exhaust_45.JPG.78e3dae95a6ff7cb5cd65daf7d9ef8bc.JPGlarge.Exhaust_49.JPG.3d0e79ba2fbce18d18731d08eeb983e3.JPGlarge.Exhaust_48.JPG.20c4b4fba78c3b613651f9d26985af34.JPGlarge.Exhaust_51.JPG.031345b5cb65a76a4fc804d5ddb24dba.JPGlarge.Exhaust_50.JPG.3890a2a1e565664c3dfee2d83a221046.JPGlarge.377482988_Exhaust52.JPG.7b5c6b7cf00eca6273543d0a7b9d44c0.JPGlarge.Exhaust_53.JPG.6e2d6249c527c9ecc521a4a362bfcc25.JPGlarge.Exhaust_42.JPG.779dcda2f530ae946d49738c1881b9f7.JPGlarge.2076099455_Exhaust61.JPG.6fca89c79c4ceb12e4d8a86e67c159d7.JPGlarge.Exhaust_60.JPG.16b91ec4b9b4c41088c7afcb494d5b56.JPGlarge.1485204520_Exhaust63.JPG.4efaa69a00055ce12513e54886c3828b.JPGlarge.Exhaust_62.JPG.9110062efdb100932200ba8c299731d9.JPGlarge.802043623_Exhaust57.JPG.ced5939fbbf2c48860c3302a5c1ad1c2.JPGlarge.Exhaust_56.JPG.ca0cf5ea50b1b3b31e3b8bc1b4b3477e.JPGlarge.Exhaust_55.JPG.4b29d86a3dfeacf5a95f95c2196c92d7.JPGlarge.Exhaust_54.JPG.7ee6c18936636e8ef6d5eafe201f5e35.JPGes to get it, the mid section has taken about six. have to cut very slow with the band saw on the pipe and wait for things to cool to minimize warp age on the flanges.  As you can see the mufflers are made to be removable if need be to change the sound and tone if i want to or to just repair one. I plan to build straight pipe section to have on had if need be also. Till tomorrow night i hope to have some more progress to show.

Not a lot has been done in the last week, been really busy with other things around the house and new model training for work. I did unpack and install my B&M mega shifter and get it installed with the console in the correct location so i don't punch the dash when shifting to park every time. issue i had on my samurai from time to time.Well that made my night after work tonight. Plan to get it out of the shop tomorrow for some better pictures it at right height. That and i need a picture for my PC background.

After much research and trying to find a measurement that i took of a 2 door xj for the location of the parking brake lever location. So i went the old fashion rout and just measured and then

made the cut for the hole in the floor. Yes i read all the write ups on using the original long front cable but did not want to go that route. That will give me another good pass-thru for wiring later if i don't fill the hole just yet in the cab for the old cable. Know i am going to have to make a front cable and wait for the new transfer case to get here to finish all the shifter locations and mounting. Got the call yesterday so should be a couple weeks till it shows up. Here are some photos of the console installed and all the stuff lined up and working With the dash bezel on it for final fitment.

Got some more done last night, got the reduction box shifter in and routed to keep it in the console.

Here is a spare mock-up console to get the fitment and holes figured out, had it closer to the parking brake to start but the handle interfered with the parking brake that close. had to move it to the right . Will get picture of the final console once i get it fully cut and installed. Till next time.

Week end progress is front pan-hard bar is in and is within a half degree of the drag link though out travel. Pan-Hard bar is 3/4 inches shorter that the drag link so bump steer should not be an issue. Sway bar installed and shortened the arms for the new link mounts that i am building, Flex tested it to day and for the most part all clears/ the front of the wheel wells rubs but it is only at bull bump with the other side at full drop. Modified the upper control arms so that they are adjustable and will be fixing the lowers this week so they are fully adjustable also.

After chasing a no start on the wife's TJ for three nights this week i have the sway bar cross member in. Will have the drop brackets in tomorrow and swat bar installed. Inner welds are not the best looking due to the gap that i ended up with. bed fits nicely with a 1/4 inch gap to the bed brace.
