Re: '82 cj7 exhaust question
 

Hey, thanks for saying that, now I don't feel so sheepish about farming my
muffler work out. Yeah, I _could_ do it myself, laying on my back on the

*almost* fits work right, but these days I'm happy to pay someone else to
suffer for me.

Re: '82 cj7 exhaust question
 

I totally agree! I gave up on exhausts years ago. Far far too much
work and when you farm it out you can get a lifetime warranty to boot.
