The first pic in the exhaust pics looks like a piece that came with my exhaust but I had no clue where it was supposed to go

Thanks for the soft top pics.
That and the cover like you have may be my answer to closing off the rear area around my spare tire

I took me a second to figure it out, but it worked well.
Thanks again Mark for all those parts.

Thanks! I appreciate it!
I never knew this was an option in ways of storing the soft top back [emoji23] it changed my life lol
Haha I was just looking through Eddies write up on the quiet crawler and saw it. I’m glad I looked before I took apart my stock exhaust
No problem! Hopefully it will help, it’s smittybilt.

Finally moved the rear axle forward, put it off for long enough! My dad was in town and gave me a hand with it which was nice. I shortened them up about an inch, not much thread left.
hopefully that will be good. I used a bottle jack to flex it most of the way and it seems to be fine

Nice, I had to chop mine back a couple years ago to get it to clear

I originally tried chopping it back, but still didn’t work. I had to shorten the control arms and I did that on Saturday. Some of those jam nuts were locked on there [emoji23]

I still haven’t been able to unsieze my two rear uppers. I’ll have to take it into a shop to see if they can break them loose.

Yeah, I am worried about damaging the Johnny joints.

You’d be amazed at what one of the little blue bottle propane torches can do for stuck things. Obviously a rose bud oxy/acy is way more effective. But the modest little propane torch and then spraying pb blast at it while still hot, saves me every time I work on this thing after winter.

BeesWax. I’ve mentioned that on here before but never hurts to say it again. That shit works.

I was thinking about going to get one, but the store closed.
I’ll keep that in mind for next time as well! Didn’t think that was even a thing!
