i love the straight pipe. it sounds awesome. i have had all this stuff done to the jeep for a while. i went crazy when i first got it about 4 years ago. i dont think i really picked up any mpgs lol. maybe i did. my wife drives the jeep as her daily driver now since i have my cummins. i am thinking about unloading the jeep actually. its hard to let her go but it has some issues so i may be getting rid of it this month. i just put new delco professional pads and rotors all the way around and i have done the timing belt and the water pump. i actually did the timing belt at 76,000 miles because my water pump started leaking so i figured while we were in there why not change it. i have the euro tc sitting in my basement. it needs a new axle shaft and bearing this time and a front drive shaft. the rear cv joint on the front drive shaft went again. so instead of dumping more money into it may just trade it in. let it be someone elses problem. i have a little son now and all my extra time goes to him and modding the cummins.
they are a great vehicle. i abused mine and i am scared to keep it. it has 95k on it and who knows what will go next. the worst thing i did to it was drive it to the mud bogs and got hammered and drove it through were trucks with tractors tires were driving. i have been replacing bearings cvs brakes, and ball joints ever since. i think i have replaced most of them by now. and the wheel bearings alone were 250 a piece for it lol. i didnt buy the cheap ones i went middle of the road. i am going to have a hard time letting it go thats for sure
