    Sounds great!! The Gibson is very quiet inside the cab and has no interior resonance. I probably would have gone with just the muffler had my exhaust tubing not been rusted so bad.

    Some would argue that replacing just the muffler would provide similar performance gains as replacing the entire cat-back exhaust because the stock tubing is not too restrictive. I'm not sure if this is true; my exhaust was rusting pretty bad, so I replaced the whole thing. Now, if you...

    Sorry about that; forgot to answer that part. The ground clearance is no issue. The Gibson muffler is round, but the inlet and output are offset, so that you can rotate the muffler up and out of the way. Mine doesn't sit any lower than stock. Here's a link to a picture of the Gibson, so you...

    I thought the sound was deeper than the Magnaflow when I bought the Gibson. Plus, the best deal on a Magnaflow I could find was nearly $450.00. It's been a long time since I bought mine, but I think I got it on sale from performancecenter.com. I thought I paid less than $200.00 bucks for it...

    The Gibson has a low and rumbly sound. I'll take a vid of my Liberty today and post it. I checked all the exhausts/mufflers when I made my decision, and the Gibson had the best sound for the money, in my opinion. I think I paid less than $200 for the full aluminized Gibson exhaust and it only...

    Locker/Limited Slip advice

    I have a TrueTrac and absolutely love it. You can't even tell it's there when driving on the street, but when you get off-road and in the soft stuff, that thing locks up quicker than any other limited slip I've seen. Plus, since it doesn't have any clutches, it should last a lot longer than...

    Powertrax

    I went to a Jim Click Jeep dealership and had their specialist install it because the DCX 8.25 can be tricky, and I wanted it to be done right the first time. It takes around 5 hours to do correctly; it cost me about 200 bucks at the dealership. If you're Military, any Jim Click dealership...

    Powertrax

    If you still want good on-road behavior, but off-road performance similar to a real locker, the TrueTrac is fantastic. It came highly recommended to me from the chief Jeep shop tech up in Tucson, and it hasn't let me down yet. It is as close to a locker as you can get, without actually being a...

    Powertrax

    I thought you could run them in the front diff as well, but the Detroit techs I talked to said you shouldn't run them in the front diff on a KJ. I don't know why, but it may be worth a call to the Detroit techs to ask why. A TrueTrac in the rear is good enough for the wheeling I do, because...

    Powertrax

    The Detroit TrueTrac is a good limited slip, as well, and it doesn't have any clutches at all so it should not wear out. I've been extremely happy with it; seemless highway behavior, but locks up quick in the soft stuff. According to detroit, you can only put a TrueTrac in the rear diff...not...

    Disabling or Removing the Steering Wheel Lock

    There was a guy I talked to who said you could disable the steering wheel lock on a Grand Cherokee for sure, and possibly a Liberty, by removing a small panel on the steering column just above the firewall but underneath the dash. This is what I would like to try first, as I would not have to...

    Disabling or Removing the Steering Wheel Lock

    Because my steering column has developed a "clicking" noise when I rotate the steering wheel, and it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to troubleshoot the noise, because I think it's coming from the steering wheel lock or a worn out blinker mechanism. I can't take the Jeep to the dealership...

    Jeep Mechanics: Dinghy Towing Question

    Hey guys, just a couple quick questions for any mechanics out there about towing a KJ behind another vehicle. I towed my KJ on a car dolley, because I didn't want to add all the mounts to tow it 4-down, and my car hauler was 1100 miles away. In my manual there were no warnings about dolley...

    Rough Country

    I had it for a week, and then replaced it with Rusty's suspension lift. With the RC lift you will have contact issues with the coil hitting the upper ball joint and the steering knuckle. The rear part of the RC kit is good, but the front is not so good. Do a search for Rough Country and...

    Rocky Road OTT "budget lift" :(

    No, its actually quite different. A in-strut spacer does NOT lengthen the strut assembly in any way. Just think about it how droop is affect. The strut is what limits droop, if you put an extension on the bottom (or spacer on the top) it increase the strut assembly's effective length. The...
