What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

[Matt]

Finished fixing the exhaust leak that I had coming from the drivers side manifold. The two rear bolts were snapped right off. I installed a new manifold, new gasket and all new bolts. Total cost was around $120. I should get the XK back tomorrow night from getting the doors fixed. He was starting to paint them as I was leaving

Dude sorry forgot to text ya back. I was working on Jacobs XJ and was going to look up the torque sequence for ya, but as soon as I finished up I was in a rush to get to my neighbors for dinner and completely forgot till just now.

What did you have to do to access the manifold?

Ummm the drivers side manifold is a pain in the butt. I removed the battery, battery tray, moved the fuse box out of the way and took out the plastic inner fender well liner. It's very tight on that side. My arms are all ripped up from doing the swap. Lol

Tested the locker and messed up the front drive shaft! Matt were did you get your drive shaft from?

I thought you tested the locker the day after the install? And how did you mess up your front drive shaft??

It's all good. I just torqued them from the center out. Did and X pattern on the 4 middle bolts and then the same on the outers.
