A couple side jobs and a loving wife. Plus my winter has been really harsh. 70s and 80s this week, a couple 90 degree days last week.
 
Those are awesome. I dont think i need them because the kit i bought has couplers.
 
Once you’ve used V band clamps all else looks like a temporary fix, but that’s just me....

Can’t wait to hear it!

I assumed when you said “I need collectors” you were going to get three bolt collector flanges to mate to a set of headers.

Welding V-bands in their place is money well spent if you’re doing new pipes for your exhaust.
 
Been really busy but my new headers showed up. They came with collectors, bolts, gaskets. I didnt want to take the old headers off and be chasing warpage right from the start. All my parts are ready for next weekend.

Warped headers seems to be the standard regardless of the Powertrain, I guess they just cheap out on flange thickness? Hope your new ones rock!
 
New headers, h-pipe, gaskets, mufflers, 2.5" pipes to the back! It is quiet like a Cadillac now. Also put in a new high torque mini starter.

I installed my onboard shower system. Napa didn't have the switch and relay I wanted so to test I had to wire to another battery. It works well but I still need to figure out a fastening device for the quick connect fittings on the bumper. I minute of recirculation in a bucket and it's nice and hot.


Under $200 bucks for everything.

Last week I put in the gauges. Also put in a switch panel and transferred my light bar and shower to it. Upgraded some of the hinky wiring and other items here and there.

They didn't have Muleta red at the store so I used the same black with a hammered finish as I used on the doors. I am going to use black abs for the door skins so I decided to make the drapes match the pubes with the dash.

I wanted to use a black allen screw and just got them today. So I put them in and snapped this pic. 2 of the nutcerts are loose so i have to tighten or replace.
