    Last weekend, I flat towed it about 200 miles north to my f-i-l's place. Has about the best shop anyone could ask for. (He's an old farmer that LOVES tinkering with things). Anyway, after about 16 hours, we have my new Advance Adapters headers installed with a couple of 18"x4" round mufflers, hangers, brackets and flanges put on. We welded up all the holes, replaced the gas lines and reinforced the rear of the tub so it can support a spare tire and jerry can. The little V-6 sounds TOUGH! It isn't quiet by any means, but everyone in the local Jeep club thought it sounded great. Now I growl everywhere I go!

    Next comes paint. Any suggestions on colors?
