Spent another day on the Jeep. First thing needing to be done was the removal of the hard top.
With the hard top off, we removed the Tuffy overhead security console. The reason that needed to be taken off is because that is where I'll mount the CB and all the switches for the rock lights, off-road lights (few sets), etc. There will also be a switch for an AWESOME thing Brad (Overbuilt Customs) has come up with...we're not sure if we're going to be able to get it on there or not (time sensitive), but if we do it will be pimp! I'll let that out of the bag once/if it's installed.
With that taken care of, it was time to tackle the exhaust. I dented the tailpipe when I took the Jeep to Tellico to test it out. That trip also put a hole in the exhaust. It wasn't my bad driving...just a bad location for the exhaust.
The heat shield was relocated to the left side of the vehicle and the pipe re-routed so the tip would come out behind the left rear tire. It was then adorned with a new tip. You can see in the first picture that the muffler is tucked up under the vehicle really nicely (above the frame rails).
Driving it home was GREAT...real nice sound!
Have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I'll be spending the first half of the day detailing the interior (since it's now easier to do with the top off). The second half of the day will be spent on the all the wiring.
Finally, I got confirmation today that the WFTW Jeep and trailer will be on display at the West Palm Beach International Boat Show. This show is HUGE...people from all over the world go there. While it's a "boat show," there are Ferraris, Lambo's, and other high-end vehicles there. Being among the waist-high sports cars, the Jeep and trailer should really stand out and I'm excited about having it shown there to help spread the word about the WFTW program and bring attention to our country's wounded service members.
