Muffler and Rear Axle painting
Hi all,
I know I've promised to share these for a while, so here you go. Used Rustoleum medium black on the rear axle and muffler and I think it looks great. I applied it about 2 months ago and still going strong. Just tape off what you don't want to spray and go for it. I applied 3 coats total, each after the last fully dried. A really easy mod that greatly improves the under carriage of a JK, especially if your muffler and axle are starting to or are rusted.

) on here, ie you will get the perception that JKs are problem ridden, when in fact, they are fairly reliable with normal wear and tear and proper maintenance.

Eh you can run 35s just fine on 3.73s, unless you do lots of highway driving or you wheel pretty hard. Mine's my DD and sees little highway and only light to moderate off roading (wish I had time for more) and mine's running fine with the supremely heavy Toyo 35s. Don't get too concerned about all the problems you hear - there aren't many compared to the installed base each year. Don't forget, you're on a forum specifically for the JK so you're going to have all the obsessed people (like me ) on here, ie you will get the perception that JKs are problem ridden, when in fact, they are fairly reliable with normal wear and tear and proper maintenance.

Dam that looks good...your right I think 35's are the way to go! It just looks so much better than 33's. I mean 35's are $30 more a tire than 33's. God I hate jeeps, I said after my last one I would not build up another one...oh well
