Yes, but what is the actual failure rate? I've been part of this conversation on many forums.
With a N/A gas motor I'm less concerned. If it was boosted, the concern would shift to going dry, going lean in boost and kaboom. A much bigger problem.
This being a more utilitarian vehicle versus...
I'm going to grab a gas can, and run her down. This whole 6 GALLONS left at low fuel 25 miles to empty is ridiculous.
Granted i only put 800 miles on my JTR, should take a few thousand for the fuel mileage to stabilize via break-in and what not. I drive distances, and need a more accurate...
Well, i snapped the PCV return vent fitting off. Had to drill out the plastic in the brass section, then carefully flake out the bits to clear the threads out. Then tapered and adjusted the 2.5 threads left on that npt fitting enough to thread in. I blue loctited it heavy, lmfao. Somebody rolled...
Borla has a good sound, and is pretty quiet, just enough though.
After much research, I want more engine sounds. Didn't want to have an open box design. Wanted plastic piping for heat management, no sound chambers. Something that wont chug water offroad, lol
I settled on...
Installed the Borla S-type Climber exhaust. Super easy install. Its nice not working on a lowered car for once, lmfao! I just crawled under it and went to work. No jack needed.
Sounds pretty good. Not very loud. Idle is quiet. Just enough sound for clutch work, finally!! That was a huge gripe...
Ordered a Borla S type Climber exhaust. I need to hear something, lol
Weathertechs are in the bed, its been raining. I should have them installed tomorrow during lunch.
Went with the big boy seat jacker fronts. I'm 6'4", and These bought me the leg support I want, but didnt really solve any head clearance in regards to the center roll bar structure. I'm going to get some miles on them, and see if I love or hate them.
I did both front seats, the wife is 6'2"...

Installed this bad boy. I really like it's versatility, and ease of use.
Fit and finish, not amazed per say. I had to knock out big flakes of aluminum in all holes. A couple light scratches, aluminum flakes all up in it...

Bought these bad boys so I can run Nalgenes in the back cupholders. Can't run the 32 oz in the fronts with the adapters, due to rowing the 6spd.
Used a 20mm dual ball arm, shorty, to use a cell phone mount opening facing up, for my Uniden R7 detector.
Im torn on whether I want to hardwire it or not. I normally do, but in this case there isnt a great wire route unless I add some kind of pathway external to the dash. IDK.
It's going to...
