Jeeps first off road adventure

According to which glass pack it is. Some are designed to "blow out" pretty quickly making them really good to put on cars with headers with full length pipes. Once "blown out" they have a really nice rumble to them and a LOT less back pressure. Cherry Bombs comes to mind as one of those. Some are actually pretty quiet till blown out. That 6 of yours probably doesn't see a lot of higher RPM's use so a glass pack may be just the ticket. The Hemi in my truck, although it rarely see's high RPM's, creates a fairly high volume of exhaust pressure at normal RPM's so they wouldn't be a good fit on her. Even with stepped baffling she has a good little "rumble" to her. Me likey that though

Got the boiling fuel/ high pressure fixed! The muffler/tail pipe section broke around the welds and all the hot exhaust was blowing onto the fuel tank causing it to heat up to the point that the fuel WAS actually boiling. Certain gas grades will boil at 100 to 400 degrees. The new exhaust set up looks and sounds great and no more problems thank god. Put close to 300 miles on it when I went over to new mexico to sight in my brother in laws Traditions Strikerfire and everyone had a blast in it. No problems whatsoever. I do have to adjust the head lights however.
She was all cleaned up and shiny! Doesn't have much room for a rifle at all in the back, i'll figure something out on that. I did get a home built receiver built and a luggage carrier installed for more room with the spare tire and a cooler. That will help out greatly.
Next adventure is to fill up the tank, drive it around and figure what shes getting for MPG. No problems cruising at 70-80 MPH on the highway. Scares the living day lights out of everyone that I took for a ride LOL. No roof or doors can really freak you out the first few times.
My 15 yo niece driving it on a back road. 4 low REALLY helps out with the new drivers.

Did your niece ever turn back around and return your Jeep? Does that mean you won't be starting a new thread titled........"Jeep's 2nd Off-Road Adventure?"
Actually I typed this reply because I was tired of reading "Shooting the Little Girl in....... where all the website topics for all the Forum Boards are listed here. Last post for the Blackpowder Board was dated around 4:20PM yesterday and it's time to update that thread list.
So here I am to fulfill those duties.
