Love this thread, Crusty is getting some Upgrades. I am lucky to get a car care kit let alone a full exhaust for Xmas. Was it Oem?

It's all from RockAuto, Bosal cat back, walker cats, and walker headers i believe. It all looks exactly like the OEM pieces.
OEM is over priced, it is stainless mind you, I got mine manufactured for a fraction of the price. What about the CATs, did you need them?
Sorry I have just read you did, someone put aftermarket CATS on mine, they lasted 2 years until they where unservicable.
I have a photo of the difference in size.
Just keep your old ones to hand if they where working ok.

They original Cats are still functioning, but the pipes and flanges are so rusted that I can't get any of the new stuff to seal up to them. The Walker units are sized and look identical to the OEM units.
I would just keep them as back up, you can cut the pipes and get them welded in if required. They are to valuable to throw out thats all.
Was there any reason that you chose the TRED 4x4 recovery boards? I am just curious as I am shopping for a set of recovery boards.

Cost and similarity to other options as well as availability. They will fit on any mounts designed for maxtrax as well
Ok cool. That definitely makes sense.

Took the family on a drive through JW Corbett WMA today.
How was it?
I’ve heard most of the trails were closed down and there’s not much to see.

Yeah, only one open trail. Sandy. Only saw one little gator. Lots of water board. Not worth it. Should have just gone up to Ocala.
Thats why I ve never been to Corbett. Ocala is cool, but it's huge, and seems like it would be easy to get lost in(not necessarily a bad thing).
Truck is looking good.

Went out to Corbett again, now that I'm living even closer this year. Put some Patagonia M/Ts on the rig too. 285/75R16s. Super quiet ride, comparable to the old Michelins that were on it, at 40psi.
We aired down to 30psi to make the washboarded road a little more manageable.

New
Muddy
Sent a bunch of jeeps through ahead of us to test depth and traction. A couple spots the bow wave came over the hood and one hole put water up the windshield.
You can just see the ruts in the trail at the top of the water here.
Can't remember his name but he showed up as we were packing. just picked it up in Jacksonville. Maiden voyage. 315 KM3s. He sat a bit higher than we did.

Shallow side of the hole
Here's a semi-terrible vertical video of the two deep water holes we followed the jeeps through. A couple were stock JK's on showroom tires. No issues.
