Coming up to Speed With Grubbicon

[OverlanderJK]

Ok. I have the 3.6 and it sounds like a V8 at lower rpms until about 3500. I would love to throw a 4BT in mine but good God is the conversion expensive!

LOL! You are talking about a jeep right? No exhaust sounds worse then a civic with a fart can.

Apparently you guys are taking me joking for being serious lol. But my Jeep doesn't sound like a civic with a rice can exhaust on it, even though I have heard some 3.8s like that but mine has a better sound than the shitty stock system lol

One of the perks to living a hour from Summit is you can get the basic shipping and it is over night for only $10. It's definitely cheeper then I can drive there for and super fast for the price if you ask me. Here is the unboxing.
Then here I was trying to mark out exactly where I wanted it to end up.
I used masking tape and then marked with a sharpie so I didn't have a ton of marks. Next took it over to the chop saw and then clean up the edges.

Then over to the Jeep to double check thats where I wanted it before I welded it together.

Then welded it together.

Then back over to the chop saw to cut the bends off the stock tubing.

Then back over to the Jeep to decide where I wanted it to dump out at.

I went back and cut it down and cleaned it up then glued it together as well.

Lastly here we are to welding the turn down on.

Now to here we are to painting up where it is bare steel.

So this is where im currently at. I got a few more coats of paint and then on to letting paint dry up some. If everything keeps going good I might have it on the Jeep tonight or possibly wait till the morning to finish.

Thanks we will find out soon. When im done Ill make a running video for everyone.

 

[xkid]

Cool. Do you want it loud?

 

[Grubbicon]

Cool. Do you want it loud?

Im hoping it wont be crazy loud but I do like the stealthiness that it had. Im more doing it just because I have had enough of looking at the stock muffler on the back. Plus mine was dented up pretty good.

 

[xkid]

I here ya. Doesn't look good back there. I painted mine with flat black high temp paint.

 

[Grubbicon]

Here is just a little teaser for now. Tomorrow im going to finish mounting it up then ill make a video and upload it to youtube tomorrow of it going down the road.

Im using the stock exhaust hanger in the front near the tcase and then I went to Oreilys and got a hanger and bent it to work.
After I put that in I was all finished up.

I got a made a video of it idling and going down the road. It actually came out much quieter then I expected. Its not much louder then stock. Here is the video http://youtu.be/GnHpjNWnGe8.

The entire underside of your jeep is dented "pretty good":thumb: Might be time for some skids!

Haha yeah I have thought about skids multiple times, but I have figured my stuff is already beat up and might as well wait till the stuff gives out then protect the new stuff.

I have been wanting to get rid of the orange turn signal lenses for awhile now. I was going to get a set of clear lenses but decided I was going to try blacking them out first. While I was at O'reillys getting diff fluid for my truck I grabbed this.

Here is out they came out.

Here they are lit up.

I just pulled the turn signals out of the grill. There are 2 clips on the inside holding them in and then they come out the front. Then I pulled the bulbs out and lastly painted the out side of them.

 

[jkwebbie]

Looks good man! I've thought about doing this myself

Thanks man. It took me for ever to actually do it. I have only talked about it for months now.
