So am I correct in saying that you had to remove the stock cats in order to install the ARB steps? I was considering them but not under those circumstances.

That is correct, bummed me out..
The new exhaust rocks though.

I had itching it get out yesterday, took my friend and both our little girls for a quick wheel and camp.

so I have been running my new exhaust for a little over a month, magnaflow Y-pipe,2.5" all the way out and over the frame.. love it ..
But i have been seeing a few CEL codes go on and off: 125 ( insufficient coolant for closed loop.), 401(egr flow restricted), 130, 133..
I changed the EGR and the Code has persisted, headed out to go check the resistance in the O's.
the 125 how ever seemed to come right after i got my exhaust done is this just a coincidence?

So I haven't had much time lately and the 80 has been sitting and waiting for me to check a few things..
I have been getting p0130/133 codes, O2 sensors, I got a chance to check the resistance they ohm out at 13 and 13.1.. That is in range ( 11-16 ohms) not sure what to check next..

how old are your O2 sensors? since you ran w/o a cat for a while the engine wasn't managing fuel correctly since you likely weren't using both O2's. it's possible that they're fouled...they could ohm out OK, but if the sensor itself is fouled from running too rich for too long, they might just need to be replaced. good thing is that it's only the upstream sensor throwing codes. Something else to check prior to sensor replacement though...exhaust leaks and check any of the wiring to the o2 sensor you can see for any cuts that might cause it to not get a good connection with the PCM.
You could also check vacuum leaks; this could impact your egr and maybe (though not likely) your o2 sensor codes. I do think your coolant code was just a coincidence if the coolant level is in fact low.

Swapped the sensors after I streamed the voltage, they were both reading zero. Gonna drive it around and see if anything comes back.

Also I have been getting the garage set up a little at a time..
checked the voltage on my new plug for the welder and installed a few more lights... Never to much light..

Getting to it finally..
Here are the bumper parts laid out.
I shimmed out the frame brackets to account for paint when the time comes.
Bolted up the wing mounts.
Designed in some alignment features..
Set the wing..
Tacked nuts to the wing supports..
Then my phones died..
I will catch up some more tomorrow.

Got some more time today, finished fitting and welding everything up.
On to grinding and some paint in until I get around to adding the spindles and swing outs!

Hit up the grinder tonight, gotta decide on spindles now..

slips over the factory cross member Bryson.. it also allows me to keep the factory spare until i figure out the spindles..
I like the solution for the recovery points. Looks great man.

Fixed my p0401 code, we'll see how long it stays away..
Pulled a sensor from the intake and sucked in some seafoam and let it sit for a few and the started it up drove it around, cleared the code and drove some more no CEL.
Also rolled 220k tonight, feels good!

Oh and I picked up a new toy this week, I need to start practicing my aluminum welding now..
I'm just starting to look for a spindle. It's so nice to wait and watch someone else do the research and then make up my mind. I had thought about using an old hub off of a early FJ40 but its probably 3x the weight.

I got to spend some time out in the garage tonight and earlier in the week I pick up a bunch of scrap aluminum from a friend sheet metal shop, so I thought I would spend some quality time with my new spool gun and see what kind of mess I could make with it..
