What did you do to your TJ today?

Are you trying to reduce exhaust heat transfer to the pan?

That’s my hope. Tallest part reach’s up behind/between the twin cats and the block. then shields between twin tubes as they go beside the pan it also wraps above where the exhaust merge under the oil pan. Seemed to have managed/got lucking with an air gap on both sides of the tin. Use the bolt at the bell housing as a rear mounting point and then I used an exhaust clamp up front as both a stand off and front mount.

Going to need to put through some proper heat cycles might need to add another mount location…just playing with an alternative to wrapping the exhaust.

We’ve been volunteering there for a long time. There’s even a cool Jeep club in nearby Dripping Springs called Drippin’ Jeeps”.
Come back & see us sometime!

That is living the dream!

My buddy and I are trying to put together a trip out there. The last time I tried to spend a week at Big Bend and never left San Antonio because I stayed to help with some family stuff. The only camping I got in on that trip was on the way down and back. Don't regret how I spent my time, but I only get so many opportunities to get down there. I will definitely keep your offer in mind.
 
Took it for a long drive in the country and saw a deer stop dead in his tracks. :unsure: After over 10 hours of driving now since replacing the cam and crank shaft sensors with NTK ones, I guess I can finally stop worrying about getting stranded and walking home again.
p.s. Strange how I ended up in a condo with that number on it. :unsure:

Drove it 51 miles in upper 40 degree weather with the top and doors off to take a fishing buddy these. He had never tasted them before in his 78 years. ( I grow Paw Paws)View attachment 556827
Paw Paws are good. The largest single grove of Paw Paw trees is on a farm that Kentucky State University has. I wish they lasted longer so we could get them in the stores.

Never heard of those. I was waiting to see ducks. ;)

Pawpaws are the fruit of the Asimina triloba tree, which is native to the eastern United States and southern Canada. Pawpaws are the northernmost member of the Annonaceae plant family, which consists mainly of tropical and subtropical plants (1, 2Trusted Source).

They’re considered the largest edible fruit native to North America, measuring 2–6 inches (5–16 cm) and 1–3 inches wide (3–7 cm) (3Trusted Source).

According to historical documentation, “pawpaw” is a Spanish name given to the fruit by members of conquistador Hernando de Soto’s party during a colonization attempt in the Southeastern United States. The Native American term for the fruit was assemina.
 
Got the M.O.R.E ARB compressor mount installed with my Rough Country dual compressor and wired up. The bolt holes line up perfectly in the mount.

If you get this mount, the 10mm bolt that goes into the intake manifold is a PITA to install. Easiest way is to unplug the sensors that are in the wiring harness in that area.
